TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion clarifies that there has never been a 60-day visa on arrival in Thailand. Instead, there exists a 60-day visa exemption for nationals of qualifying countries, allowing entry without a visa. The comments confirm that the visa exemption remains unchanged, despite previous discussions about potentially reducing the exemption period to 30 days.

There has never been 60 day visa on arrival. Visa on arrival is where you apply for and pay for a visa at the airport, and only available to a few nations.

There is currently 60 day visa exempt, which is not any visa at all, it means you are "exempt" from needing a visa. This is and remains 60 days if you are from a qualifying nation. There is a government proposal to change it back to 30 days, but it hasn't been mentioned in weeks.
