In the past there was a different no of days allocated to a visa on arrival for an overland entry (15 days) to Thailand vs an international airport entry (30 days)
Does the 60 days visa on arrival now apply to all methods of entry to Thailand. If the 60 day visa on arrival applies to border runs, how many of these can you do before they shut the door on you? Has anyone tested this validity? If so what is the number reached?
Looking a bit forward of that, is there any idea yet, when and how, the mooted 'Schengen' type S-E Asian visa will come into being? Either in a total model or a phased in model?
Also when does the Thai government $13.00 tourist tax kick in and will it be collected?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The current 60-day visa on arrival applies to all methods of entry into Thailand, including land, sea, and air. However, the number of times a person can make border runs is uncertain and depends on the discretion of the immigration officer. While some may manage a few border runs, there are concerns about potential crackdowns on repeated entries. Additionally, there is no definitive information about the upcoming Southeast Asian visa or the implementation of the $13 tourist tax, which has not yet been enforced.
