What are the details and requirements for the E S Entry visa in Thailand, and how does it compare to visa exemption options for British passport holders?
Received my E S Entry visa today, and I stated an 89 day stay.
Only change from last year, they needed a selfie from my mobile, not one from a photo booth.

Answer summary
The user recently received their E S Entry visa for Thailand with an intended stay of 89 days, noting a requirement for a selfie taken from a mobile device instead of a traditional photo booth. Several comments discuss the meaning of 'E S,' express skepticism about mobile selfies, and inquire about visa and entry exemptions for British passport holders, highlighting preferences for visas over exemptions and potential extensions.

That’s the validity, not the duration. You have to enter within 90 days. Then you get a 60 day entry

My visa is valid for use until early December, I travel in October for an 89 day stay.Even though it is a 60 day visa, they understand I will apply for a 30 extension.
