What should I do about my visa situation for traveling to Thailand with my family if I'm facing a change from 45 days to 30 days on arrival?

Why are we still getting questions with this issue first it was never 45 days on arrival that is totally different visa it was 45 days visa exempt for the countries that qualified now in your case you did not view the wording of entry for this at that time it was always going to end on 31st of march was only speculation and dreaming of some people hoping it go longer now if you get correct tourist visa before you leave your country or get 30 day 1900 baht extension for each person at immigration in thailand you have no problem it is not good to have overstay stamp in passport and depends on the io at the time was happens you have no control over the io in front of you he or she will do what they want

You can extend for another 30 days just go to immigration a few days before your original 30 days runs out

You will have checked in and gone through security on the 30th day. So you will be ok 👌

If you arrive on the 1. December and fly out on the 1. January at 2am, you will go through immigration on the 31st December, so absolute no problem. At worst, you'll pay 500THB.

45 days originally only planned to finish end March 23 ,it was only ever speculation it would be extended. Only a reality when it is Gazetted.

You can extend the exempt stamp for 30 days 1900 baht each but the tourist visa would be the best way to go

You can extend your stay while here in Thailand. One time, for 30 extra days. For 1900 baht per head at immigration here.

Or you can apply for a tourist visa for the adults, before coming here. (Adults being anyone over 16 yo) anyone not adult, will noy get fined for overstay so they are fine, and will just get a stamp in the passport when leaving saying they overstayed.

Don't remember what a tourist visa cost, and requirements is different from embassy to embassy. Some required bank info fo4 example.

Easier just to extend the adults visa free entey when already here.

Never overstay . Fines involved and you may or may not be able to return to Thailand.

The hangup may be with your airline. They may insist on a flight out within the time allowed for your initial entry allowance. Some won’t care. Many will.

You and your family certainly wouldn’t be the first to have overstayed and pay a fine. Although it’s always best not to break the law.

A tourist visa which allows 60 days on entry is cheaper to buy than getting an extension in country and would cover both issues of flights and fines.

Aim to apply around two to three weeks or so prior. That’s the peak season so give yourselves time. They’re valid for 90 days from issue.

Get a Tourist Visa, you’ve plenty of time. You app,y online. Do it 2 months or so before travel. You could have problems when you check in at the airport and, in any case, you don’t want to overstay if you can help it.

check they maybe able to extend the visa which is no major headache.

You could apply for tourist evisa which will give you 60 days. You've plenty of time to sort it out.
