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 up to 60 days as part of a visa exemption policy, regardless of their point of departure, including Australia. Upon arrival, travelers are stamped in for 60 days. If they wish to extend their stay beyond this period, they can visit any local immigration office in Thailand to apply for an extension of 30 days at a cost of 1900 baht. The original inquiry regarding e-visa complications can be resolved by choosing the exemption option instead of pursuing a visa through an embassy.
