TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers from the UK need to obtain a Thai E Visa if their stay exceeds 60 days, or they must qualify for a visa exemption upon arrival for a stay of up to 30 days, which can then be extended. Having a Thai Pass QR code is necessary for entry, but does not negate the requirement for proper visa documentation if applicable.

Yes you need a visa for over 60 days or an exempt on arrival for 30 day plus extension

I have just been told on another post that I can't sort out visa exempt at the airport anymore. Do you know if that's correct? I've applied for E Visa, like Richard, but still no news. Thanks

Chris Turner the TP is easy it about preparing your documents properly in Jpeg format clear and concise. Make good copies of your QR codes for your Vax. This is most important for fast results as it will be done automatically those having problems are having to wait for human input.
