Do Australian citizens still receive a 60-day visa exemption when traveling to Thailand in 2025?
I'm due in thailand in march 2025 for 3 weeks. Do I need to go on line and get a tourist visa or does the 60 day free visa still apply for Australian citizens
Answer summary
Australian citizens do not need to apply for a tourist visa for a 3-week stay in Thailand in March 2025, as they are eligible for a 60-day visa exemption upon arrival. They will receive a visa-exempt stamp at immigration.

@Lynnette ******

@Wayne ********
I googled Aus Govt info travel to Thailand and Smarttraveller came up.Wayne *********
@Lynnette ******
Agree but also who would think to google smart traveller. Should be a simple search via a menu on govt website for a link.Lynnette *******
@Wayne ********
but they can. I was just curious if there was anything.Wayne *********
@Lynnette ******
yeh not many bother with that site as it mostly post travel warnings. Not many go scrolling through to find the requirements. I personally ignore it and don't know many that use it.

There's no free visa, as you can only get a visa by applying for and paying for one. But if you have an Australian passport you can get a 60 day visa exempt stamp without a visa.

No ! You get a 60 day stamp in your passport in the airport at immagration that you can extend by another 30 days at any local immagration office if you wish to stay up to 90 daysJames ********
@Gilbert *******
keep an eye on things as the visa exempt stamp could change at anytime back to 30 days instead of 60 between now and 2026Gilbert ********
