Ok. so I can plan my trip to Thailand now for January 22. But what about the visa arrangements? Will I still have to get a 90 day visa and coe or have things changed? My plan is 2 months.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is inquiring about visa arrangements for a planned trip to Thailand in January 2022, specifically whether a 90-day visa and Certificate of Entry (COE) will still be required. Comments suggest that the options include a 30-day visa exemption with a possible 30-day extension or a 60-day tourist visa with an additional 30-day extension. Uncertainty surrounds the COE and entry requirements due to changing government policies, with recommendations to check back closer to the travel date for the latest information.

Yeah hold-off till early January, only takes a few weeks to process. Come in on Visa Exempt and extend that in-country, gives ya 60.

i think like most goverments they analyse the current situation and then make decisions. I dont really follow whats happening in the west but SE Asia and Australasia they are doing all the same.

Best two choices are 30 day visa exempt plus 30 day extension in country or tourist visa 60 days and 30 day extension.

Nobody knows if there will still be COEs in January or what entry requirements will be
