TLDR : Answer Summary
Russian passport holders are currently eligible for a visa exemption of 45 days upon entering Thailand as of October 1st, 2022. Additionally, they can extend their stay for an extra 30 days by applying at immigration, which requires documentation and a fee of 1900 baht. It's advisable to consult the Thai embassy for updated information and assistance.

Rather not.

But here's info.

Just like us swedes russians can check with the thai embassy in their country as well.

So, Russia is on the exempt list. You'll get 45 days + 30 days extension when you go to immigration with your documents and 1900 baht. πŸ˜‰

Visa exempt is now 45 days from October 1st

Plus you could get a 30 day extension if required but I'm assuming from your original post you want 37 days so just the 45 day stamp will suffice and no extension required

This thread is awesome. In thirty minutes the tone went from, how dare you question advice provided to ok, I’m an idiot.

Your second contention is also wrong. You can gain tons of valuable info on here, IF the people responding don’t think they are smarter than they actually are.

Good rule of thumb, 90% of people in this group need to use it for receiving advice, rather than providing it.

@Casey *****
actually i didn't say "how dare you question my advice". I gave my advice as far as I understood it based on reliable sources but was equally aware that conflicting advice would follow and that the OP would be none the wiser once everyone had posted

You did say that with other words. You added a parenthesis afterward. You said this "if you're going to question the advice you're given here I'm not sure why you'd ask the question on here in the first place rather than go to an official site". At the time, you were the only person to have given an advice, so you were referring to your advice to him. "How dare you question my advice", is an accurate statement as tho what your wording meant. "if you're going to question the advice I have given you here...".

@Casey *****
I am not convince that
@Brett *********
is wrong. The graph above is outdated and things may have already changed for Russians. Having said that, I agree with you that most people should stop giving advice, especially the "two weeks travelers" and people who have been here for only a year.

according to the Thai govt Web site you can enter visa exempt for 30 days as far as I can see. The Web site may not reflect the new 45 day duration yet as it only came into effect 1st October check here

if you're going to question the advice you're given here (which you probably should) I'm not sure why you'd ask the question on here in the first place rather than go to an official site

I just have other information and wanted to confirm. But you seem very confident, if you could maybe prove your advice (link?) you'd be my hero. πŸ˜„

@Daniel *********
russian passports are on the visa exempt list. Same rules for all

@Brett *********
not true. Some can't get extensions

@Chris ******
What is? 45 days or Russian passports being Visa exempt?

@Chris ******
