I am flying into BKK from Melbourne in January and spend 37 days in Thailand. I am a UK citizen. Can I apply for a 60 day visa in Australia before I arrive in Thailand?
Answer summary
A UK citizen flying into Bangkok from Melbourne can apply for a 60-day tourist visa online before arriving in Thailand. While some community members suggest opting for visa exemption upon arrival, the majority recommend securing the visa in advance due to potential changes in visa policies. The tourist visa can be applied for through the Thai government website.

My advise is to apply for the visa from Thai embassy as I’m pretty sure the 60 days will be reduced to 30 by then don’t chance it…I go December and I’m gonna apply for the tourist visa

GOOGLE. it’s 60’s upon arrival until it’s printed in the Royal gazette. Then it’s 30 days visa exempt.

Yes you can. Do it online. SETV.

Some will advise that you get 60 days visa exemption but we don’t know when that will end. So, a visa is safer.

If you have an Australian passport - you could

Or easier to arrive

And get 30 days ( presuming they bring in the reduction of 60 day exempt back to 30 days )

Then extend for another 30 days before the first 30 days is up
