Hey, I am wondering if anyone can help, as I am struggling to get a straight forward answer online.
On the 2nd Novemeber we are flying to Bangkok & hoping to stay between 60-90 days.
We hold a UK passport & are currently in Bali but will be flying into Bangkok from Perth.
When we are trying to apply for our E-visas with a UK address it says we need to visit the embassy in London, we are unable to get anywhere with the application when stating we are in Bali & then it is saying we need to get an appointment at the Thai Embassy in Sydney when we say we are coming from Australia..
I have also seen online that UK passport holders can enter Thailand with an "automatic 30 day visa" & can then extend the visa at any embassy in Thailand after.
If that is correct, are we able to get the 30 day visa on arrival when we land as we have a UK passport, or is this option not available to us as we are coming from Australia?
Thanks in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
UK passport holders can enter Thailand without a visa for a stay of up to 60 days due to the visa exemption rule. Upon arrival, they will receive a stamp for 60 days. If they wish to stay longer, they can apply for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office, which costs about 1900 baht. It's advisable to ensure all paperwork is ready and accurate to avoid delays during the extension process.
