What are the current rules regarding tourist visas and immigration entry to Thailand?

Advice from Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In photo. Royal Thai Embassy Washington DC has same information “Temporary passport / provisional passports, or emergency passports issued to nationals exempt from the Visa Scheme for 30 days are accepted by the Immigration Bureau in Thailand. However, the passport must be valid for at least six months upon returning to the country of residence.” 068d3 In photo. Royal Thai Embassy Washington DC has same information “Temporary passport / provisional passports, or emergency passports issued to nationals exempt from the Visa Scheme for 30 days are accepted by the Immigration Bureau in Thailand.

yes, I'm 100% saying that. And it's true.

You’re saying the

is providing incorrect information on Thailand? I’m pretty sure they are a more informative source of information than yourself. but I’ll leave it there.

Yep. I know. I have lived and worked in Thailand for years, I was just surprised at such misleading information from a major Thai embassy. The Government's messaging is piss poor in comparison to other nations in SE Asia.

that depends on what you mean by reliable. Every entry is at the discretion of the immigration officer you're standing in front of. Even if 1000 people were let in that have the same circumstances as you, it doesn't mean you won't face any issues. The best you can do is meet the requirements and try not to stand out from the crowd with things like excessive entries, or having spent 6 months in Thailand over the last year, etc.

@Mark *******

nope. Lots of embassies post incorrect information, or never update their websites when information changes. They also tell people incorrect information about immigration all the time. Immigration officers tell people incorrect information about embassies all the time. They're completely separate government agencies that really have no idea about the other.
