What is the current length for visa exempt entry (British passport)? If my dad has a return flight booked after 45 days, is his best bet to get a single entry tourist visa in advance and so get 60 days? Or is there another way?
TLDR : Answer Summary
British passport holders can enter Thailand visa-exempt for 30 days. If your dad has a return flight booked after 45 days, the most straightforward option is to secure a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) in advance, which allows for a 60-day stay. This option is preferable as it avoids potential hassles with extending a visa-exempt entry and is typically quicker with less hassle at the airport.
