Has Thailand reduced the visa exemption period from 60 days to 30 days?

strange that they have not made change to 60 days visa exemption yet.....although decision has made long time ago...could it be that they will cancel that? because tourism is decreasing...

It's still 60 if your passport and nationality qualifies. There's been talk of changes to 30, but nothing official at this point.

It hasn't changed yet but for 60 days if it does change use your 30 and get an extention from the local imigration office.

Not yet

As soon as they have any push back thai leaders always back off. They'll probably end up giving 2 year visa free. They cannot do quality tourism

No. It is not true. Its still 60 days

😂😂😂😂

Visa EXEMPT ! It is not a visa 🙄

15 days after gazetted—not gazetted yet

This is not a visa! It is how long you can stay WITHOUT a visa.Just get a tourist visa if you want to stay longer.

no not visa on arrival, the visa exempt is going to 60 to 30 days

You keep listening

I just landed stamp through to middle October

No 30 days I arrived one week ago

Check Thai immigration site

That's NOT visa on arrival. And the visa exempt hasn't changed from 60 to 30 days yet.

Visa exemption 60 din ka he hai abhi bhi bhai. Main itna surely is liye bol raha hun kyunki main Thailand mein he rehta hun

Still 60 for now. Got here yesterday.

Just apply a visa for 60days .

Takes 5 minutes and cost only 35€ online.

Will I need to apply for a visa if I'm staying14 days?

Not yet but if you’re planning a trip you should assume that it will be 30 days and plan accordingly.

If you get a 60-day visa on arrival, then you got 60 days regardless.

I just returned. My Passport on entry was stamped for 60 days🙏

once in the Gazette there should be a 15 grace period - and after that it's 230 days for those who haven't arrived.

Where are you hearing this, it's not on any website if you goggle : visa excempt for Thailand how many days it states 60days: now visa on arrival is something totally different and is still for 31 countries, visa excempt stamp is for 97 countries and as I said still 60 days. What is your passport country.

They have announced a few months ago that they will reduce visa exempt arrivals for eligible countries from 60 to 30 days!

Government approved it, but as everyone is stating, it only becomes official 15 days after it's posted in the Gazette!

My guess, and only an educated guess is... Thailand is just coming out of its worst Slow Season with extremely low Tourists !

Therefor they are desperate for the busy season to start beginning September until February, hoping for many Tourists( which their economy desperately needs)

So I think they will hold off implementing the visa exempt back to 30 days , until after the busy tourist months of

Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec and January, so people can stay longer and spend their money , which will help Thailand recoup from the extremely low season they have just experienced!

It makes no sense at all for Thailand to implement the decrease of 30 days ( visa exempt right now at the start of the busy Tourist season )

I don't think Thailand would shoot themselves in the foot again!

Or maybe I'm wrong and they will ?

But I don't think 30 days visa exempt will be implemented until February !

Let's see 🤔

It hasn't happene yet - but you can apply online for an SETV - a Single Entry Tourist Visa - you pay for this off the local embassy or consulate - they are valid for 60 days and can be extended in Thailand for a further 30 days for 1900 baht. THey weren't in use much with the 60 day visa free entry in place but now that looks like ending there may be a bit of a rush to get them again.

THe cost in UK is about £30 or 1000 baht, you can get one up to 3 months before your arrival date.

Just get the right vusa before you leave.

I was going to come for 60 days so I decided to come for 30 I will be leaving on the 30th day and I want no hassles.

You can apply for an extension or even a visa if need be, Your country of passport?Proposed date of travel?

30 days now.. depends from wish country..

Arrive 11th Sept for 45 days not got a visa think will be ok 👌

Wow. So many people get 60 day holidays. 🤨🤣🤣

How do you get a Visa to go there?

When the stamps goes from 60 days to 30 days you will find out immediately.

Not visa on arrival, but visa exemption is planned to be reduced from 60 to 30 days.

Start: 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette

You keep hearing !

Instead of looking at the official website for information.

And that is the problem.

Not yet. We leave in late December. Hoping it is 60 days still

Nothing changes we just arrived. You may got ask how much money you have. 👍🏻

Knowing Thailand it won't go in Gazzette until 2027.Always indecisive.Now they talk want people to stay longer but want to reduce visa.Where is the logic in that?

Yes it’s 60 days arrival exemption is easy to plan the trip .30 days is more challenging if you are Snow Bird .

Going on 2nd September think I’ll be ok now for the 60 unless in Gazette tomorrow 🙏 🤞

Terminology is key 🔑

Nothing yet but I’m not taking any chance.

I’m due to arrive on september 18 and got my visa in an easy process online.

Go to online visa website

There is a space to check your country visa exemption days duration.

Visa still 60 days

Until it’s posted in the royal gazette then 15 days the change will come in to affect

Visa on arrival is still 15 days and cost 2000 baht, visa exemption 60 days for most countries at no cost

You can get a visa to cover your planned stay.

Visa on arrival is something totally different than visa exemption. And yes visa exemption that still is 60 days is gonna change to 30 days. I’m going to Thailand in September and I applied online for a 60 days tourist visa. Easily done and costed 35 euros

Visa exempt is 60 at the moment until it's announced in the royal gazzette

No

nothing yet ......
