ORIGINAL POSTERHas there been another change in visa rules? Payments is there a charge now for normal 60day tourist visa was free last year
TLDR : 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.

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.

I think it’s probly cause I’m in Sri Lanka and said so cause it’s just cost me £28 and free from the uk last year.Stuart *********
@Paul *******
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.Alan **********
