What are the experiences and requirements for obtaining a 60-day tourist visa stamp in Thailand?

Just a quick one, while you weren't asked for an onward flight, did you actually have one? Morenoften than not, it's the airline who would ask. If they see it on their system they wouldn't need to ask.

When I passed immigration last December 1st. The IO., guy was extremely friendly, polite and smiled. That made my day on arrival. Then I was questioned in a service station coffee shop by two immigration police. They wondered why I was a farang alone? Understandable. Didn't have my passport on me, but had scanned relevant pages in case I got asked by any officials. Problem was I couldn't find the scans in my phone because of all the junk I've got in the phone. So I asked if they'd like to speak to a Thai friend? They said yes, so I called my friend who happened to be near the coffee shop. He came, spoke to the officers, told my friend on Monday we need to go to immigration and register that I was staying at the Thai families home. This was on Friday early afternoon and the immigration office was about 50 km from where we were, that's why the officers told us to go on Monday. This was on Friday. My friend went about his business, I got on my motorbike and set off back to where I was staying about 25 km away. I was riding on a country road and the officers passed me, tooted their horn and the passenger officer waved out of his window. How nice, these are the reasons why some expats, me included love Thailand. I'd already been in Thailand about a week when we went to immigration. My friend gave his id card to immigration officer who filled out a small document with my passport details and the address where I was staying. Wasn't fined and went on our way.

So it is 60 day visa exempt stamp finally?

@David *******

same for me last week, even on the previous 30 day TV it can be slow with some people asked a few questions. This time they whizzed through my queue and other queues alongside certainly the quickest I have seen over the last 5 years.

The way it should be!!!

What lots of people don't understand is that Thai immigration profiles, and stereotypes those trying to enter, and they don't like poor people, as evidenced by the new DTV visa. Digital nomads/creators complained because there was no visa directly for them, as none could qualify for the LTR visa in that category, so Thailand made the DTV visa especially for them, but included the bt500,000 equivalent in your bank account, and only made it available from outside the country, so poor people could not afford it, and that no agents inside Thailand could provide services to circumvent this financial requirement.

Thank goodness Thailand don't charge a fee to stamp you on on visa exception.

What they smiled !!that’s a first 😂😂

A smile, you must have got a good one.

Normal for the 30 day stamp and it's normal for the 60 day stamp. Passport and boarding pass are all you need.

The only people that get asked for more are people with extensive histories in Thailand that are abusing the system.

And generally it's your airline that will ask you for proof of onward travel leaving Thailand.
