United Kingdom passport → Thailand

Last checked 2026-09-15

British citizens can enter Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days.

From 15 September 2026, British citizens can stay in Thailand visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, replacing the 60-day exemption; the stay can be extended once by up to 30 days (Royal Thai Embassy, Washington DC, updated 10 September 2026; Tourism Authority of Thailand). Travellers who entered before 15 September usually keep the stay they were granted (UK government travel advice). Visa-exempt entry is limited to twice per calendar year: the Tourism Authority of Thailand applies this to land-border entries, while the Thai Embassy in London states it without that distinction, so check before planning several trips.

United Kingdom passport → UAE

Last checked 2026-07-24

British citizens can enter UAE without a visa for up to 90 days.

British passport holders get a free visa on arrival at every UAE entry point, valid for a total of 90 days within any 180-day period (extended from 30 days in November 2024) and good across all seven emirates. The stay is counted cumulatively across visits — 90 days used up early in a 180-day window leaves none until it rolls over. Overstaying is fined per day, so track the window rather than assuming a fresh 90 days on re-entry. Correction 2026-07-24: an earlier version of this page said 30 days and described a paid 30-day extension that does not exist for this entry type.

Maximum stay
