I arrived on a British passport. I’ve got 45 days but I’m getting a bit confused if I’m on a VOA or I’m on a Visa Exempt?

The stamp doesn’t say. Just says visa class - 45 days.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, holding a British passport, is uncertain whether they are on a Visa Exempt entry or a Visa on Arrival (VOA) entry after receiving a stamp that allows for a 45-day stay in Thailand. Commenters clarify that British passports are classified as visa exempt, and the 45-day stamp corresponds to this exemption rather than a VOA.

British passports are visa exempt. VOA are for countries like India and China and so on where they have to buy an actual visa on arrival.

I never said China HAS visa on arrival. Chinese people need visa on arrival. You may have been looking in a mirror when you used that clown emoji
