ORIGINAL POSTERWe are travelling to Thailand in May for 45 days. Do we have to apply for a visa prior to leaving Australia. Ty in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers from Australia do not need to apply for a visa prior to leaving for Thailand if they plan to stay for 45 days. Australians are eligible for a visa exemption that allows them to stay in Thailand for up to 60 days upon arrival. Upon entry, they will receive a visa-exempt stamp. If they wish to stay longer, they can apply for an extension of an additional 30 days while in Thailand.

Donβt see any point in having this group if people canβt ask a question without getting harassed for doing soβ¦. Yes google is available but google can also provide conflicting or out of date information so maybe people use the group to get some clarity π€·ββοΈ

A simple forum or Google search would have answered this question and more.

No as you will get a 60 visa exempt stamp upon arrival.

If you want a visa, you'll have to apply for one. You can come visa exempt for 60 days though, without a visa.

Australian passport you get free 60 days visa exemption entry to Thailand.
Nothing required, just show up at immigration with your passport.
