Hi can someone please help. I am due to fly to Thailand for 6 weeks in July. I thought I would get the 60 days visa free on arrival but now it looks like they will sure change that to 30 days. Will I be able to go to Immigration whilst there and pay 1900 baht to extend for another 30days? TIA. I did try googling but its not clear as its not changed yet.
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on their upcoming trip to Thailand, expressing concern over potential changes to the visa exemption policy that currently allows for 60 days but may be reduced to 30 days. They inquire whether they can extend their stay by 30 days at the Immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht. Responses suggest that obtaining a 60-day tourist visa in advance is advisable, as it allows for an extension without needing to visit Immigration. Many comments recommend applying for the visa online and clarify the application process and requirements.

Instead Apply a tourist visa and upon arrival you will get 60 days. You can apply online or thru an agent.
