Regional plan or country plans in the Middle East

For Thai travellers the Middle East is often a stopover, Dubai, Doha or Istanbul on the way to Europe, as well as a destination in its own right. Our supplier sells several regional lists for the area, and they differ in ways that matter. When we checked on 10 October 2026, the Middle East list covered 11 countries, including the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan and Turkey, but not Egypt. A Middle East and North Africa list added Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Two Gulf lists of six countries each also differed: one included Oman, the other included Iraq instead.

For a stopover of a day or two, a small country plan for the hub is usually enough and cheaper than any regional plan. A regional plan earns its place on a longer trip that crosses borders, for example Jordan with the UAE, or Oman with the UAE. If Egypt is on the route, choose a list that names it.

Entry basics for Thai passport holders in the Middle East

Entry rules below are for Thai ordinary passports. They are summaries of the official pages linked in each line; rules change without much notice, so confirm on the official site before you pay for flights.

• United Arab Emirates: check the entry rule for Thai passports on the UAE government portal; airlines with a UAE hub can also arrange visas. https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id
• Turkey: check the current rule for Thai passports on the official e-Visa system before booking. https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/
• Egypt: check the visa options for Thai passports on the official e-Visa portal, and avoid look-alike agency sites. https://www.visa2egypt.gov.eg/
• Anywhere else on this page: check the country's embassy in Bangkok or its official e-visa portal, starting from the Thai Department of Consular Affairs. https://consular.mfa.go.th

Gotchas to know before a trip to the Middle East

• Some messaging apps restrict voice and video calls in parts of the Gulf, while text messages usually work. Check before relying on app calls for work or family contact.
• A stopover visa or entry permit is separate from your onward flight. If you leave the airport in Dubai, Doha or Istanbul, check the entry rule for Thai passports on the official portal linked above.
• Summer heat in the Gulf is extreme, and outdoor plans move to evenings. Phones overheat and throttle in the sun, so keep them shaded and carry a power bank.
• Ramadan changes opening hours for restaurants, shops and attractions. Dates move each year with the lunar calendar; check the tourism board of the country you are visiting.
• Desert and wadi trips in Oman and Jordan leave coverage quickly. Download maps and keep the driver's or guide's number before setting out.
