TLDR : Answer Summary
As of the latest information, the visa-free entry to Thailand remains at 60 days, with no confirmed reports of a change to 30 days. There have been discussions and speculations regarding potential changes due to economic conditions and other factors, but travelers currently continue to receive the 60-day exemption upon entry.

The end of 2025 will be reduced to 30 days due to another pandemic.

Yes, the 60 day stamp remains valid, no need for a 30 day extension

Since they suggested it would happen they've had a severe earthquake and in last few days economic crisis of 37% tariffs to sell goods to USA. So there's serious question marks over GDP forecasts with income falling and fewer tourists. The Immigration officials need to think again if nows,the time to halve duration of foreigners visiting Thailand ? Makes no sense and only adds to Thailand's problems

@David ******
agree but you are up against Thai logic 🤦🏻‍♀️
М. ****
@John ********
actually their logic is pretty simple. All thise ridiculous restriction are funding the tons of agents existing. For them is better ppl to bounce every 2 months then every 3 months. Much more profitable, isnt it?

No need for agents for a tourist visa. If tourists add a 30 day extension, more money for Immigration. Again, no agent needed.

I heard the elite own the big thai hotels and are pissed off visitors are renting condos from foreigners (illegally ) and avoiding exorbitant hotel bills. They hate foreigner renting out the condo they sold him!
М. ****
@David ******
it doesnt matter in this case, they wont make me go to hotel no matter what. But this is a way to keep the food for the agents. It looks like the most profitable job out there

Anything can happen in Thailand. It always changes every day just because they say it’s going back to 30. It still could be a while who knows
Albert ********
@Kevin ******
correct, I spoke with a visa agent yesterday and she said she got back from vacation to find that agents can no longer open bank accounts for those seeking that service. No warning. Agents were blindsided. No matter what visa one has
Kevin *******
@Albert *******
changes here on the daily 😎good luck
Albert ********
@Kevin ******
I know. Hell, the agents know even more. That’s taking money away from their income stream
Kevin *******
Kevin *******
@Albert *******
I’m here as a tourist I have a bank account
Albert ********
@Kevin ******
it went into effect yesterday or after Friday. This is what she told me. I’m not making up stories. She was having problems getting with clients that were already in the pipeline for the service. She told me that is part of the service she can no longer provide until I’m sure it changes. 🤷🏽‍♂️. I have about 3 months so I’ll wait and see
Ralph *******
Still 60. No news yet on the change.

At this stage it is still 60 days visa exempt.
