Good afternoon group. Can anyone confirm the current arrangements for a tourist visa on arrival? It was 30 days, then they increased it to 60 days but I read it was being abused & they were going to put it back to 30 days. But I didn’t hear anymore. I will be there December 28 for 35 days. I will leave Thailand during this time & return there at some point. I could of course buy a bus ticket across the border but only as a last resort. Thx.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The current information confirms that the visa exempt entry for many travelers in Thailand is 60 days, which has been in effect since July 2024. The visa on arrival, applicable to certain countries, provides a shorter 15-day stay. If visitors leave Thailand and return, they can obtain a new 60-day entry, allowing for repeated entries, though this approach should be used with caution.
