TLDR : Answer Summary
For UK passport holders, there is currently a 60-day visa exemption when entering Thailand, which is extendable once. If you're traveling around Southeast Asia, you may exit Thailand and re-enter to receive another 60-day exemption. Beyond Thailand, UK citizens can stay up to 45 days in Vietnam without a visa and can enter Singapore visa-free for up to 90 days. It's essential to have proof of onward travel for all destinations to ensure a smooth entry.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

On a UK passport with your flight schedule you will have very few problems with Thai immigration as it’s clear you are a tourist. As already said Thai will give you a a 60 day visa exemption renewable each time you enter. Ensure you complete the online DTAC within 3 days of arrival. Similarly Singapore gives 90 days and complete digital entry card. Vietnam is 45 days no visa for UK passport but definitely need onward flight (or alternate travel) booked before checkin.

Depending on the country of your passport you will need a visa fir Vietnam and Singapore

If you hold a UK passport, you can enter Thailand on a 60 day non-exemption. Even if you go to Singapore and Vietnam within the 60 days, you will be fine entering Thailand again unless the Immigration Officer detects you are coming in and out of Thailand on 60 day exemptions and extensions too many times. There is no set number of times you can do this. I don’t think this applies to you so I won’t elaborate. You will need to complete a TDAC each and every time you enter Thailand. Google TDAC and its timelines for completion. You will need a visa to enter Vietnam. You can do this online. Singapore you can enter w/o a visa for stays up to 90 days. You need to complete a SG arrival card. Make sure your passport is valid for 6 months after arrival date.

If you are travelling around then make sure you leave Thailand within 60 days as that’s the length of the visa exemption.

When you return to Thailand you will get another 60 day exemption (assuming there’s no problems). That should cover you for your whole trip.

thank you so much for your advice much appreciated. I’ve been googling and it conflicts. I thought asking a friend was a nice kind way.

It’s seems to me this page is for help and advice to people who are unsure or being kind by helping out. The world can google and be sarcastic. How about just give genuine advice. From real people who experience this.

How did you ever manage before google

Make absolutely sure that you have onwards travel from Vietnam. They will refuse boarding at check in if you haven't.
Nigel *********
You need to include what passport you're using. Not everyone who travels from the uk will have a uk passport.

@Sasha *****
no, but you need to fill out the online TDAC form (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) from up to 3 days before each and every planned entry into Thailand

Not if you depart on or before your entry stamp expires. Currently 60 days with UK passport.

@Sasha *****
like a lot of ppl are commenting … without a proper itinerary how are ppl to know if you need a visa. For instance if you are staying the 1st 61 days in Thailand then you either need a visa or need to do an extension. We are not mind readers

@Ang ****
your airline will request an onward ticket within 60 days
Stephen ********
@Bob *********
airline 'may' request.
Bob **********
@Stephen *******
Airlines have been asking for the TDAC
Stephen ********
@Bob *********
that's got nothing to do with an onward flight, which is what I was commenting about.
Bob **********
@Stephen *******
your airline will be the one to ask not immagration
Stephen ********
@Bob *********
yes, and you said they will request it. I'm saying they may request 🤷‍♂️
Ang *****
@Bob *********
yes, I’m aware they may ask. That wasn’t the question though.

Perhaps reply to OP she may find that useful - you can include all the options available assuming she hasn’t already purchased onward travel.

With UK passport you get visa exempt for 60 days in Thailand (although rumours keep swirling that it may return to 30) 45 days visa exempt in Vietnam and 90 days visa exempt to Singapore. Just make sure you have proof of onward travel in each case .
