Can I enter Thailand for 30 or 60 days without a visa?

It's still 30

Until now I see 24 comments, but it must be difficult for you to creep through the dschungle of advices, because some are right, some are wrong. My advice: READ the advices of Brandon Thurkettle. His words are clear and true.

" tourist visa is 30 days free entry" You're confusing Visa with Visa Exempt (welcome to Thailand).

Visa Exempt - you are given permission to stay without a pre-approved visa. The duration of your permission to stay depends on your nationality.

Visa - you process paperwork at a Thai Embassy outside of Thailand. They give you permission to visit.. This 'permission' is non-binding, the immigration officer can still refuse you entry, but very unlikely. Your permission to stay is the stamp the IO puts in your passport, the duration depends on your Visa.

Not stupid, but incomplete. What nationality/passport do you travel with?

Unfortunately those news organizations are always putting out teaser news and is picked up by everyone thinking it’s true and the rumors moved on. It will be official once it’s published in the “Royal Gazette” with a start date.

I just wonder who on earth spread the rumour of implementing the change on June 1???

All still fuzzy get on a thai embassy site

When it's written in the Gazette then it's official until then it's 30 days. As for the UK website they are jumping the gun

60 days visa exempt starts from tomorrow , it now states it on the uk government site

The tourist visa is not 30 days. The tourist visa is now and has always been 60 days. You must apply for and pay for a tourist visa before traveling to Thailand if you want one.

Visa exempt (meaning no visa, you are exempt from needing a visa) provides a 30 day stamp. The government proposal is to increase this to 60 days but we still don't know when it will start as we have no confirmation and it's now a long holiday weekend.

Visa exempt only requires your passport if you are from a visa exempt eligible country. Your airline will likely require you to show proof of leaving Thailand within 30 days (or 60 days if it changes) before they will let you board your flight.

You can also be asked for, but rarely are, proof of funds (20,000 baht or equivalent in another major currency in cash only) or proof of lodging (your first hotel you are staying at in Thailand).
