Step by step
How Sierra Leonean citizens enter Thailand
Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Apply online before you travel and wait for approval. Book nothing that you cannot change until the approval arrives.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces, to the Chana, Thepa, Na Thawi, and Saba Yoi districts of southern Songkhla province, to the Hat Yai to Padang Besar rail line, and to areas within 20km of the Cambodian land border. Attacks continue in the provinces bordering Malaysia. Land borders and crossings with Cambodia remain suspended following fighting in July 2025 and further clashes in early December, unexploded landmines remain a hazard, and border tourist sites including the Khao Phra Wihan, Ta Kwai, and Ta Muen Thom temples are closed. The rest of Thailand, including Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, carries no advice against travel.
