Has there been another change in visa rules? Payments is there a charge now for normal 60day tourist visa was free last year

Answer summary

The original question inquired about potential changes in visa rules for Thailand, specifically concerning charges for the 60-day tourist visa. The responses clarified that there has always been a charge for tourist visas, but some nationalities, including UK passport holders, can enter Thailand visa-exempt, receiving a free entry stamp for a stay of 60 days. Overall, the consensus is that the fundamental rules have not changed, and any fees required for visas have remained consistent.

no changes to the rules, just a stricter enforcement of the current rules regarding visa exempt entries

There has always been a charge for a visa, no visa is free but many nationalities get visa exempt entry which is visa free, not free visa.

There has always been a charge for a tourist visa. Depending on the passport you hold you may be able to enter Thailand “Visa Exempt” which isn’t a visa it’s just a free entry stamp allowing you to stay for 60 days. Your profile picture suggests you may be from the UK which means that would apply to you.

If you had applied for a tourist visa from the UK it would have cost you £30. For British passport holders there is generally no reason to do so as you’d get a visa exempt entry for free. Both options give you a 60 day stamp on arrival.
