Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are planning on taking the ferry from Langkawi to Koh Lipe. We are both Dutch (Netherlands) citizens with valid passports. Would we be able to get the 60 day visa exemption on arrival in Koh Lipe? Thank you very much in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, Dutch citizens can obtain a 60-day visa exemption on arrival in Koh Lipe. Travelers should ensure they have 20,000฿ or an equivalent amount in cash, proof of accommodation, and an onward ticket to leave Thailand within the 60-day period. The immigration process on Koh Lipe may be busy, especially on weekends, but all passengers will eventually be processed.

the immigration office on Lipe gives the same stamps as any other office. It's a bit of a wait once you get there depending on how many ferries arrive and how full they are. It will seem a bit of a gong show but they eventually get everyone stamped in. Expect it to take longer on a weekend.

No live experience with this trip but should be possible ofcourse with visa exempt. Only thing I would do is getting the three things they can ask; have 20,000฿ or equivalent in CASH, Address/hotel booking and onward ticket that you leave Thailand within 60 days. In this case a ticket for the boat/ferry to go back 🤷‍♂️.
