Does Thailand still have the 60 days visa exemption or has it gone back to 30 days? I will need to visit for 45 days before going for the DTV in Laos, and I am finding conflicting information on that online. Entry date would be in late August.

Thank you!
Answer summary
As of now, Thailand still offers a 60-day visa exemption for visitors. Despite discussions about changes, these have not been officially implemented, as the necessary publication in the Royal Gazette has not occurred yet. Travelers can currently expect the exemption to remain at 60 days until further notice.

It is still 60 days as of today. The Cabinet approved the changes, but it has not yet been published in the Royal Gazette. It becomes law 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette. There is no indication when it will be published.
