Is the Visa exemption on arrival still 60 days for British passport holders?
Is the Visa exemption on arrival still 60 days for British passport holders?
Answer summary
Yes, as of now, British passport holders can enter Thailand under the visa exemption rule for 60 days without a visa. There have been discussions about possible changes to this policy in the future, but currently, the 60-day exemption still applies. This is distinct from a visa on arrival, which is limited to certain nationalities and typically only offers a shorter stay.

You still have to complete TDAC 3days before arrival…whatever visa you have
Michael ********
Why wouldn't it
Marianne ********
Visa Exemption is still 60 days.
While it's been verified that it will return to 30 days, there is no indication on when it will be happening.

I arrived on the 24th of july please make double sure you fill in the TDAC or they will send you back to fill it in on a machine along with about 50 others . And believe me 80pc don't have a clue. The queue's to passport were very long. So be very patient. It take's awhile . Be warned. I missed my taxi. Good luck.

I'm sure you mean visa excempt stamp which is 60 days, for UK passport holders.
Visa on arrival is something else, currently for 30 countries and reducing to 4 counties after entry in the Gazette. The UK is not part of visa on arrival .

Brian *****************
OPDo you have any evidence to support that claim?
Jo **********
No
Rob **********
Yes the visa exempt is still 60 days for UK passport holders.
Bernie **********
VISA EXEMPT is 60 days until 15 days after the reduction to 30days is anniunced in the royal gazzette...VISA ON ARRIVAL is 15 days
Neil *******
30 day limit never was applied. Stayed 60 days. Not sure Thailand can afford to implement it as tourist numbers are 20% down on last year
Jeffrey **********
Neil Doody The return to a 30-day limit has not yet been implemented. And Thailand certainly can afford to make the change since 90% or more of tourists stay less than two weeks. Few people who are staying for close to 60 days are really tourists, and if they are they can get a relatively inexpensive tourist visa.

Yes you’ll still get 60 days visa exemption. All these people going on about the difference between visa on arrival and visa exemption know what you mean btw. They’re just trying to be clever. I once made a post on here about my 12 month retirement visa which is in fact called a 12 visa extension based on retirement. The shitty replies about the wording I got were extraordinary. Toxic idiots IMO.
Jeff *************
Mick Aynsley yep, a bunch of nit pickers
Graham ******
Mick Aynsley AI works by farming information so the more posts that are not corrected means that this information is used thereby providing misinformation
Angelo ***********
Mick Aynsley Most are toxic idiots, however there is also a 1 year visa based on retirement :D so sometimes it is important to be precise.
Gamie *********
Mick Aynsley jealous keyboard warriors
Mick *********
Gamie Lacoste yes. If you can be bothered to look at their profiles they’re often not living in Thailand or if they are they’re often just angry individuals with nothing better to do. You may see them in bars sometimes complaining about almost everything Thailand has to offer.
David ***********
Mick Aynsley correct. The grown ups knew what was being talked about
Kevin ********
Mick Aynsley know what you mean about the people who want to write stupid comments because it brightens up their sad lives, I recently posted to let people know I got a visa exempt with just a 30 day stamp on my last trip, I even posted a photo of the stamp but it was met by insults and people calling me a liar.
These people don’t want help so why can’t they be banned from the site,

OPMick Aynsley Thanks for the clear information, much appreciated.
Mick *********
Brian Richard Taylor just keep an eye on the embassy or immigration we’d sites. It is due to change but we should get 15 days notice and ig you have been issued with a 60 day stamp even if it changes while your in country the 60 day stamp will be valid.
Paul ********************
Mick Aynsley but no it's technically an important distinction as at the airport there is a big sign which say VOA this way... You wanna stand in that queue to be told you are in the wrong queue
Clearly the OP doesn't know the difference

Javier Ballester so I can arrive without a Visa? Last year I had a 30 day one?
Just need to be sure? Thanks
Just need to be sure? Thanks
Graham ******
Janice Bellhouse You say above that you have a UK passport but visa exempt has been 60 days for over 2 years so you did not get 30 days anytime last year
Graham ******
Janice Bellhouse That will depend upon what passport you hold
Janice ***********
Graham Seal British passport
Martin *********
Janice Bellhouse then you don't need anything atm, if it reduces before you travel then you will need a 60 day tourist visa, any announcement will give you plenty of time to apply to the Thai embassy in London who are very quick.
John *********
Janice Bellhouse you dont need one. Either 60 or 30 days on arrival and extend for 30 if necessary.
Roy *********
how long before your travel date do you have to do yout Thailand TDAC ?
Mark ********
Yes but I think you can use app now can’t remember the name 😎
Jeffrey **********
@Roy ********
How long before ones travel date? You can do it at the airport after arrival while on your way to the immigration booths. The correct question to ask is how soon can I do my TDAC prior to arrival. The answer to that question is, as Tomas has written, 72 hours. i.e. one cannot submit a TDAC more than 72 hours prior to scheduled arrival.Roy *********
Jeffrey A Hynds
Thank you
Thank you
Kevin *******
Jeffrey A Hynds pedantic P
Jeffrey **********
Kevin Dunne : Yes. Also accurate.
Tomas *********
@Roy ********

Ant ***********
Visa Exempt - Yes
Peter *********
Yes
John **********
Visa on arrival is 15 days and only for a few nationalities. You are talking about a visa exempt entry, no visa at all, and yes it remains 60 days for now
