Do I need a transit visa for my Bangkok layover?
I am an Indian passport holder traveling from Cambodia to Taiwan (Taipei) via Thailand (Don Mueang airport Bangkok). On the way there, the layover is 2 hours. Do I need a transit visa for Thailand?
Cambodia to Thailand (REP to MDK Airport) on Air Asia.
Thailand to Taiwan (MDK to TPE Airport) on Nokscoot airline.
Best Answer
From the comments:
If you have checked luggage, then definitely yes, because neither AirAsia nor NokScoot allow interlining. If you don't, then most probably yes, because AFAIK NokScoot only allows check-in at landside counters in DMK.
