I’m coming to Pattaya in August for 50 days Do I need a visa
Answer summary
Currently, you do not need a visa for a 50-day stay in Pattaya if you hold a passport from a country that is exempt from visa requirements. Most nationalities, including Australians, typically receive a stamp for 60 days upon arrival. However, there are talks about potentially reducing this visa exemption from 60 days to 30 days in the future. It's advisable to check current regulations closer to your travel date and to be prepared with necessary travel documents, including proof of accommodation and financial support.

What is is your country of origin passport wise plus how do you know you allowed in country for 50 days if no visa yet. If you are from a country that is on the visa excempt list you may get a stamp at arrival from immigration for 60 days and maybe asked to show the following;

1. Passport with 6 months validity.

2. Provide verifiable proof of accmmodation.

3. Provide proof of funds to support 10.000 baht for single travelers.

4. Provide proof of return ticket for exiting Thailand.

Visa exempt currently 60 days, if it does change to 30, before you arrive, you can extend for another 30...

It is absolutely unclear if or when it will be changed back to 30 days. Till then it’s the normal 60 day visa exempt for the applicable countries.

It always helps if you say the nationality shown on your passport.

I’m going in July for 6 weeks, what if they change it just before I’m due to travel?

Nick Showering if they revert to the previous 30 day visa exempt arrangement, you're able to extend another 30 days. That's how it worked in the past, assuming they don't make further changes if they do reduce it from the current 60 days.

Joel Ward so they will still let me in but tell me to apply for another 30 day extension?

Nick Showering there will be enough time for you to get a 60 visa on line, they always give plenty of notice.

Assuming you have an Australian passport and don't have an extensive history of spending time in Thailand you don't need a visa, you are exempt from requiring a visa for short term tourism and will be stamped in for 60 days
