Is it possible to visit Thailand (Phuket) on a tourist trip, if the validity of the passport is 5 months after the end of the tour? This rule often changes, what is the situation now?

Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
In accordance with the visa policy of the Kingdom of Thailand, for citizens of the Russian Federation there is a visa-free entry for up to 30 days, which requires a passport valid for at least 30 days after the end of the trip to the country..At the same time, the Immigration Service of the Kingdom of Thailand officially recommends that citizens of the Russian Federation to visit Thailand on a visa-free regime have a foreign passport with a validity period of more than 6 months, and if the validity period is less, obtain a new passport before entering Thailand..In fact, at the border, border guards do not make claims for tourists with foreign passports, acting on the continuation of the whole stay in the country, but in any case, your entry into the country is at the discretion of the visa officer .

Please note that the passenger on departure to Thailand is obliged to show at check-in his return ticket from Thailand to Russia or a ticket from Thailand to other countries if the route outside Russia is not limited to Thailand.
