What are the current visa options for UK citizens traveling to Thailand amid recent changes?

Apply for a TR visa today. It's easy, cheap and totally online.

I flew to Vietnam, it isn't expensive, then re-entered Thailand, no problems and Vietnam offered another culture to my list.

Just get a damn visa. Hell the METV visa is good for 6 months with 60 day stays and 30 day extensions. Its multiple entry so you can come and go as much as you want for 6 months.

Ask the King 👑

It could literally take them months to set a date don’t panic

Just get a visa before you come. Then no problems.

I strongly recommend applying for a visa now that meets your time needs. Costs a few baht, takes a little time and filling out a few forms. Do this while you have the luxury of time to do this at home, without stress. But do not delay in case extra time for forms or information is requested. The suggestion of going to immigration for an extension seems OK BUT, that means taking time out of your travels here to find and go to a government agency that does not do appointments where there is a risk of running into Disneyland lines, with the risk that going one time will not be enough. (That has happened to me before.) This takes time and relaxation from your time here. There are attendant costs for getting to and from the agency after locating it, paying for the place you are staying for a day or two to do the extension business instead of paying for it for your vacation. Costs which you could apply to the payment for a visa on line. If you plan to be a regular visitor here, I found my time better spent finding an agent and getting an extendable visa with their help after getting the visa on line before you come. Then time your future visits so that one happens during the extension window. This is a wonderful place to visit when you do not have to hassle with the government. I am not rich, but I make a budget for the cost of my visa and an agent when needed. Has been worth every penny each time in terms of time efficiency and stress reduction. I now live here full time, after about 25 visits of varying lengths. I have gone through 4 types of visas. The tourist visa on entry, a marriage visa, a multiple entry retirement visa and now a 10 year pensioner (I am 73) Long Term Resident visa. My goal is not to try to tell you what to do but simply pass on some ideas which may make your visit a better and less stressed time.

From what is written in the Thai news is that it will take a minimum of 15 days to become law. So from the start of June is the most likely outcome.

Get the right bloody visa then.

Better apply for a visa.

They are going to get slammed with visa applications. I would apply now.

i chose last week may rather than first week june knowing this was coming,as it is first week june should also be ok,but june 30 i would not at all be confident on

You can apply for a 60 day Tourist Visa in your home country.... and extend it for a further 30 days here in Thailand.

Cost is about 1000 bt.

Get a METV. they cost £150.& last 6 months

Sounds like you will spend one day for a visa extension 😉

I feel for you as I have an extended visit that I had already bought my ticket for. It would be nice if they would grandfather anyone who bought tickets prior to change. But I think a tourist visa is in my near future.

no straws left, try again next year

Apply Visa beforehand and carry cash

Apply for tourist visa now

Kaosod news announced the Government has passed the changes. Best you go the visa option.

If you’re passed 50 years get a 90 days Non O visa, or else apply for a 60 days tourist visa and do a 30 days local extension.
