I have US and Russian passports.  Just got my 60 day tourist visa for my US passport.  Recently I saw on the news that starting November there's a change in policy for Russian passport holders to get a 90 day stamp on entry (can't seem to find any official sites to confirm this however it's all over the news).  I am flying in next week and planning to stay for ~3-4 months.  Question: can I enter BKK with my Russian passport to get the 90 day stamp?  Also, is there a way to confirm this policy change?   Thank you!

Answer summary

The user holds both US and Russian passports and has a 60-day tourist visa for their US passport. They are inquiring if they can enter Thailand with their Russian passport to receive a 90-day stamp, following recent news about a policy change. The responses indicate that the policy is not yet officially published, but it is expected that starting November 1, 2023, Russian passport holders can receive a 90-day stamp. However, as the user already has a tourist visa, they must enter with this visa first. To obtain the 90-day stamp, they would need to exit Thailand and then re-enter using their Russian passport.

As you ALREADY have a Thai tourist visa which you bought while in the USA, you will have to use it on arrival into Thailand as its in the computer.

You will be stamped in for 60 days and can get a 30 day extension of stay at Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

Yes, those who are arriving with a Russian passport can be stamped in for 90 days. From November 1, 2023 thru April 30, 2024

You would have to leave Thailand and reenter with your Russian passport to get a 90 day STAMP after you use your Thai TOURIST VISA.

Print out the Evisa email you received with the approved Thai Tourist Visa Show it whenever you are asked.
