Hi! I am looking at the new visa free for 60 days countries as of 15th of July and I am kinda confused. For example when I am looking at the Thai E-visa official website and I insert all of required information I receive a message that states: You can travel to Thailand without a visa for no longer than 60 days.

However, Bulgaria, Romania and few other countries are also in the section visa on arrival, so I am really getting confused. Does anyone have an idea or should I contact the embassy. Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

As of July 2024, travelers from Bulgaria and Romania can visit Thailand without a visa for up to 60 days. They are also listed under the Visa on Arrival (VOA) program, which allows for a 15-day stay. Travelers can choose between the 60-day visa exempt entry, which is free, or opt for the VOA. If entering under the visa exemption, an extension of 30 days can be applied for, totaling a potential stay of 90 days.

There are a few countries that were previously able to get the 15 day Visa on Arrival, but are now eligible for the new 60 day visa exempt. Those countries were not removed from the visa on arrival program, they were just also added to visa exempt. Technically if you are from one of those countries you could request visa on arrival instead of visa exempt, but that wouldn't make any sense. If your country is on the new visa exempt list, you are eligible for the 60 day visa exempt stamp.
