Hi. A couple of quick questions. I’m a UK citizen. Visited thailand in Feb for 60 days til April. I’m returning again but only for 2 weeks. How long am I permitted to stay this second time? Also, as a Brit do I need to complete the Thailnd e-visa before arrival or upon arrival is fine for us still? Is there a specific appp or site I need to download for this? Cheers

Answer summary

A UK citizen can return to Thailand for a two-week stay without needing a visa, as long as they complete the required Arrival Card (TDAC) online prior to arrival. Since the traveler recently visited Thailand for 60 days and is returning after a brief period, they are likely to receive the 60-day exemption upon arrival. It's advisable to have proof of onward travel, although it's not always requested.

Just get the TDAC. Nothing else needed.

You don't need a visa for a 2 week stay. You can enter without. But there's an "arrival card" to fill in online with your info. It's done within the 3 days of arriving.

Check in at the origin ask for the return ticket, if they do. It is their responsibility to ban you from embarking the flight or transport you back if any problems, not at the destination.

Do the TDAC arrival..you didn't stay an excessive time and you been fine a few months so should be ok. Do you have proof of leaving Thailand within 60 days...if so I would imagine you will get the 60 day exemption on arrival with no issue
