Can anyone confirm that the tourist visa on arrival from the UK is still 60 days extendable by 30 days?
Answer summary
UK citizens can enter Thailand under a visa exemption for 60 days, which is extendable by 30 days for a fee. There is confusion regarding the term 'tourist visa on arrival' as it does not exist; rather, there is a 15-day visa on arrival for other nationalities. Current regulations confirm the 60-day exemption remains unchanged, although there are discussions about potential future changes.

Yes. But is expected to (maybe) change to 30 days with 10 days notice given.

It's a visa exemption of 60 days, not a visa.

There's no such thing as a tourist visa on arrival. A visa on arrival is 15 days but I suspect you mean entering without any visa at all which is called visa exempt. For now that remains at 60 days, nobody knows when or if that will change

Visa exempt entry is still 60 days (30 days extension 1900B), Visa on Arrival is still 15 days and costs 2000B cash

Graham Seal it obviously hasn't gone to the Royal Gazette yet then ? They seem to be dragging their heels , it would be great if they reverse it and keep 60 day exemption..but I doubt it
