  • P

    Patrick

    Asked on September 12th, 2025

    Are there any visa restrictions on Tai's for Japan? Do you have availability for a tour beginning on September 14?

    Price / Availability
    Visa
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten September 2025

      Thai citizens do not need a visa to enter Japan. Japan offers a 15-day visa-free stay for Thai passport holders. If you are considering traveling soon, the departure date of September 14th is already too close and our tours are fully booked. The earliest available departures are around September 21st or 22nd.

      Patrick

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      can you arrange reasonable economy air from bangkok and return

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten September 2025

      We are not able to arrange the flights separately from the tour. The reason is that if we quote the flights alone, the price would be much higher. A better option is for you to book the flights directly by yourself, as there will be no extra markup this way.
