Answer summary
The Visa on Arrival (VOA) for Thailand is currently set to be 30 days, with a proposed extension for visa exempt holders to remain at 45 days until the end of 2023. The situation is set for review after March 31, 2024, with discussions about potential changes still ongoing.

yes it probably will be extended as you say, but you say it's already approved by government and in the gazette and it's not. That is not the case so maybe stick to the facts as it not approved yet. Have a nice dayWilliam *********

VOA (visa on arrival) is currently 30 days, normally 15 days and is non covertable or extendable.
Visa exempt is current 45 days, normally 30 days.
Getting one of these is dependent on your passport.
Your profile says you are from loas. Loa passport holders are eligible for visa exempt at entry. As well under asean and special agreements.

It's the TAT who want it extended. Thai immigration want to put it back to 30 days. More people are staying a bit longer, but they're not extending. Bangkok is 25% down on tourism extensions. Immigration are losing too much money. Immigration don't give a stuff about Tourism

@Andy *********
yes I know but the thai government changes the rules every hour 😊Andy *******
@Giorgio ********
They need the tourismGiorgio *********
@Andy *********

@Giorgio ********
it's called confidence. I'm confident they will as I've heard it from multiple sourcesTodd *********
@Andy *********
yes - for visa exempt that would be correct and it may be extended to 2024, but currently will end on March 31st.Giorgio *********
