We are arriving in Bangkok on the 11th November Australian passports. With 60 day visa except do we have to go to immigration at airport for this. Can’t find anything on Thai consulate website. Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
Australian passport holders arriving in Bangkok on the Visa Exemption scheme do not need to go to a separate immigration office. Upon arrival, they simply present their passport and boarding pass at normal passport control where they will receive a 60-day entry stamp. It is advisable to have an onward ticket and proof of accommodation, but typically the immigration officers do not require these documents upon entry.

This is a joke right? Have you never travelled before?

Most countries Australians travel to you don’t need a visa and are stamped or scanned in at passport control.

There are desks for Visa on Arrival but ignore these as you qualify for Visa-exempt so just go to passport control and hand in your passport and boarding card. You will be stamped in for a free 60 day entry

You don’t need anything, but you should have an onward travel ticket and the equivalent of ฿20,000 THB on your person.

 You may also be asked for proof of your accommodation. Also it is not a 60 day visa or a visa of any kind. It is a 60 day Visa Exempt stamp that Immigration put in your passport.

 I flew back in May and didn't have it so he made me look up my booking. They record the flight and seat number. It's a throwback to Covid.

You just go to normal passport control and hand over your passport and boarding pass, and receive your 60 day entry stamp.

@Lawrence *******
 you cannot immediately extend. Some immigration offices allow you to apply for an extension when you have 45 days or less left, so you'd have to wait at least 15 days to apply. Some immigration offices only let you apply during your last week, so you'd have to wait at least 53 days there. It all depends on the office you'll be using.
