Has the Thai government changed the entry stamp duration from 60 to 30 days?

Confirmed arrived today changing visa types and got 60 days

I'm just glad the rainy season started .. enough with the endless hot sunshine 🤣

My two cents : It’s funny how they are so dependent on tourism but hell bent on limiting the farang bringing money to their economy. Over the last years they entered the tech/financial sector and now they thought they could be “independent “ and regulate tourism. Problem is the generation who now are in their 40 wanting to settle down wishes to own rather than my parents who were happy to rent. The younger generation are also in to building financial independence and are now showing interest in countries where they can invest. Thailand has always been about spending for expats never any type of replenish. The governments new initiative to investigate some house owners owning property through LLC which has been done for years are now creating a turmoil and I think if the Thai government don’t slow down we will see a lot of money leaving their day to day economy.

Nothing done in a logical manner here , cart before the horse syndrome , shoot yourself in the foot mentality by officials who keep changing ideas that work fine

"entery"?

So far the DTV looks most attractive, I've looked over all other Visa's, I didn't see any value in them

Even if they did that's fine because they know when they come to the US they can get away with everything but paying should not be a factor of you staying here I think the Visa is being steered towards the elite and those who are retired needs to change they have to make their visa laws more relaxed for torist. If border runs are such a problem for them then why is it not a problem for everybody else? I understand them wanting to have their sovereignty as an American but it's never understandable the other way around. I love Thailand but they need to fix things because they allow people on tourist visas to rent one year contracts in the country to rent property I think they need to stop doing that because if you're not going to be able to stay your entire contract they shouldn't be allowed to rent anything out to you other than a hotel unless you can qualify for a Visa that will allow you to stay long enough to live through at least a year contract that would bring tourism up it benefit their economy much more

There has been NO official or news reports anywhere in the last 30 days on changing the 60 days visa exemption.

Great news if its true. I just wish people would stop trying to rort the system. As usual it's a minority and the majority pay. They wouldn't get away with it in their own country.

The boats almost to the bottom of the sea

It only concerns the very few that like to stay longer.

Most only arrive for a week or 2..

This idiots

Thai government is just like a woman. Changes their minds every few minutes

Flew in last night from Oz

Stamp 60 days

Actual tourist numbers are up, it's just the money they are spending this time of year is down in certain areas. One in particular is the fact all tourists are drinking less alcohol, and seen in the fact they now allow alcohol sales in tourist areas during religious holidays. Beer sales alone are down almost 40%.

Heard it from where???? It's all bullshit until it's official.

It will remain 60 days until they change it, which could be next month, next year or never..

Trying to guess what the Thai government may or may not do is just a waste of time

Low tourism? Is it that bad?

Thailand does what Thailand wants to do. It’s got nothing to do with logic, common sense or business acumen. They are a law unto themselves and I’ve no doubt that it will ever be so.

Ultimately, it’s part of the charm of the country.

TiT 🙄

Entery?

I never count on anything immigration-wise with Thailand until it actually happens. But the back-and-forth, not entirely gossips’ doing, is what still leads me to consider other SÉ Asian nations for retirement.

Being more selective of way to go, longer for those who contribute more to economy

You never know what is going around now and I heard this at immigration when I was processing Ed visa they are looking at a 10 year tourist visa

All these different visas required etc etc its all on your passport...im married to a Thai lady who lives with me in England but for me to go and live with her back in Thailand is a logistical and finanial nightmare

Great news

😴😴😴

How about a 179 day visa for the million or more who spend every winter here ?

And make it so you don't have to put all the exact info in every year .....

I have spent over 12 years in Thailand total ,get no break at all on visa

Rumors on rumors on rumors. They were never going to change anything until it's changed. Any headline you read means nothing. The TAT and the Thai newspapers throw out dozens of "proposals" every year that never materialize beyond clickbait. You can ignore anything you "hear" until it's published in the Royal Gazette.
