Spouting on about this knee jerk reaction to a non existent problem since last November has caused an even slower low/rainy season than is normal..
no complaints from me I breezed through 2 weeks ago on a Visa Exempt 60 days and as there are hotel deals aplenty I will take a 30 day extension added to this in August when it will be even slower, When said extension is over mid September it will be around 190 days in the last 12 months..🙂..Then on to VN/ Cambodia for four months to enjoy their low season and rock bottom prices..great time to be a tourist right now 🙂

Alan **********
Steve Greir What advice did the OP need ? Correct. ZERO. I guarantee it took him more time to figure out how to post this than the roughly 15 seconds it would have taken to Google it.
To ask it here ? Who knows, but apparently, YOU don't get sick & tired of seeing the same Q&A repeated so many times when a simple search would have done the trick. Others do. Oh well.
ADVICE "Advice is a noun meaning an opinion or recommendation offered to guide someone’s conduct or decision-making." <--- I Googled it. 15 seconds🤣

Alan Rothwell Unfortunately for all your ranting about Google, Google are giving the wrong advice claiming that visa exemption has already returned to 30 days, which it hasn't
Shlomo ******
OPAlan Rothwell I try to find the answer in google and it says 30 days
Steve******
Shlomo Levi then learn how to Google or just scroll for 20-30 seconds through this group. This question was asked yesterday a minimum of 2 times.

Steve Greir And offer a bribe too.
Joe ***********
Steve Greir Depends on the border guard. If they reject you and you do have a pre-approved visa, try again the next day.
Steve *******
Joe Alexander Thai Embassies/Consulates are governed by the MFA, totally different to Immigration which is governed by the RTP.
You're the ignorant fool!
You're the ignorant fool!
Joe ***********
Steve Greir Actually, it's the same authority. A subdivision of the Royal Thai police that handles immigration matters. They are officially known as the 'Immigration Bureau of the Royal Thai Police'. It's the same department that runs the borders and visa centres in embassies. Think twice before you make yourself look like an ignorant fool, you c#nt.
Steve *******
Joe Alexander What the f*ck have border guards got to do with the Embassy? You're definitely confused or off your f*cking head!
Kenneth *******

Peter *******
O'nthe Baw Depends Nationality of your Passport. Visa exemption under review. Tourist visa can only apply within 90 days prior arrival. So you need to wait until the final decision is published in the Royal Gazette
Steve *******
O'nthe Baw You can apply for a 60 days tourist evisa before you travel via the Thai evisa website
Shane **********
O'nthe Baw or 30 day visa exempt and 30 day extension.
Bill *********
O'nthe Baw $1900 baht for the other 30 days

Andrew ********
Visa exempt no still 60 hasnt changed
Mike ************
People need to learn the difference between a tourist visa and visa exemption!
Andrew ********
Mike Veldhuizen visa exempt is classified as a tourist visa. You just dont pay for it.
Cloana ********
Andrew Romine no... By definition, exemption is not a visa...🤗
Andrew ********
Cloana Charly clearly you cant read "its not a visa but its under the same classification as a "tourist" - serves the same purpose"
When you are here under exempt - you are a tourist.
When you are here under exempt - you are a tourist.
David ******
Andrew Romine It is exactly what it says an exemption from getting a visa so how the hell can you say it is classed as a tourist visa. It's not even a visa.
David ******
Andrew Romine As already stated exemption is not a visa. you clearly called it a tourist visa
Andrew ********
David Cook it is under the same classification as a tourist visa - 7 countries passport holders get 90 days exempt - its not a visa but its under the same classification as a "tourist" - it serves the same purpose
Mike ************
Andrew Romine
No it’s not.
A 60 day tourist visa is what you can apply for at the Thai embassy.
Totally different visa.

Kevin *******
Alan Keyser more than likely due to me arriving in October !
Lynnette *******
Mark Fox why would tourists stop going to Thailand? What "dump" are you talking about?
George *********
Foreigners who are already in Thailand under the current visa exemption schemes and those plan to travel to Thailand prior to the effective date of this revision may stay until the expiry of their permitted period of stay. Thereafter, they may enter Thailand under (1) the new visa schemes; (2) bilateral visa exemption agreements; or (3) an appropriate visa which can be conveniently applied through Thailand’s e-Visa system.

Steinar ********
The change has been decided, just not the date yet. So 60 days still is the rule until they announce a date for new 30-days rule. Will be announced in official channels and media.
Steven **********
Steinar Rotlid i wonder if they are having second thoughts,in pattaya now and the numbers are way down,i know its low season,but hotel deals etc being offered may to october,thats half a year of low season,gotta be some hurting,im a tech bust,so just saying"go to vietnam instead"isnt easy for me,but for a lot of people i wonder if they have gone through with that thinking?first bar i went to last night after 5.30,girl said she started at 4pm,i was the first customer,i was in soi pothole,over 2 beers i reckon less that 10 farangs walked by,its really dead
