Can UK passport holders receive a visa on arrival in Thailand and are they allowed to re-enter after visiting Vietnam?

Question

Hi I have a uk passport and I'm flying to Thailand in February and plan to stay for just under 2 months.
I have a couple of questions.
Will I get granted a visa at arrival?
Would I be able to fly to Vietnam and come straight back in to Thailand within those 60 days or do I need to apply for a specific multiple entry visa?

Thanks in advance

As a UK passport holder, you can enter Thailand under a visa exemption for 60 days without needing to obtain a visa on arrival. You also have the option to visit Vietnam and re-enter Thailand without any issues, as long as you comply with the immigration rules. Each time you re-enter Thailand, you will be eligible for another 60-day exemption, allowing for a trip to Vietnam and back within your travel plans.

You will get a visa exemption  for 60 days then if you leave and return  you will get another 60 day exemptions.

The original  60 day exemption will stop when you leave Thailand.

As a UK passport holder, you're eligible for a visa exemption in Thailand, which allows you to stay for up to 45 days without a visa.¹ However, since you plan to stay for almost 2 months, you'll need to apply for a visa extension or a tourist visa that covers your entire stay.

Regarding your second question, if you plan to visit Vietnam and return to Thailand within the 60-day period, you'll need to check the visa requirements for Vietnam. As a UK passport holder, you're eligible for a visa exemption in Vietnam for up to 45 days.² However, if you plan to re-enter Thailand, you may need to apply for a multiple-entry visa or a re-entry permit, depending on your specific situation.

To be on the safe side, I recommend checking with the Thai Embassy or Consulate in the UK for the most up-to-date information on visa requirements and regulations. You should also consider reading a book or two before your travel.. I'd recommend a book "Thailand Unveiled 2024-2025" by James Anderson on Amazon..it has all the info and recommendations you need..you should check it out 😀

No.. As British passports dont get a Visa on arrival, they get a 60 day visa waiver.. Understand the difference as it will save you hours standing in a queue at BKK Airport called "Visa on Arrival" to be told you are in the wrong queue 👍

ITS NOT A VISA ON ARRIVAL !

It's a visa exemption entry for 60 days..

VISA EXCEMPTION means you are exempt from needing a visa and get an entry stamp in your passport indicating your visa exemption exit date
