TLDR : Answer Summary
For a 6-week trip to Thailand in February, you can enter without a visa if you hold a passport from the UK, Australia, or other qualifying countries, receiving a 60-day visa exemption upon arrival. It's recommended to apply online using the TDAC form from the official Thai government website. Ensure to check the specific entry requirements based on your passport and consider applying a few weeks before your trip.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

What passport are you holding now??

if it is any of these 93 places in the world, then you don't need a Thai E–Visa beforehand and get a free Visa Exempt Stamp by the Thai Immigration Officer for a Stay of 60 Days

@Kevin *******
Kevin thats not a visa that is just the thailand digital.arrival card that every visitor has to fill in within 3 days of your arrival to thailand, not linked to any visa
Kevin ********
@Graeme *****
yes but he is only there for 6 weeks ! He only needs the digital arrival exemption visa
Wayne ********
@Kevin *******
no such thing as a digital arrival exemption visa. The the digital arrival card and visas are two completely separate things one has nothing to do with the other. Please try to get your facts straight before you answer questions to someone who is inquiring.

Kevin he will arrive on a 60 day visa exemption, no visa at all. He will also need to fill in the arrival card the TDAC which you mentioned, this only tells immigration you have arrived it is not a visa

@Graeme *****

@Kevin *******
no , he ask what visa he needs!!!!!
Graeme ******
@Kevin *******
yes i have read it so he needs nothing to enter thailand because he will be given a 60 day entrance stamp so he can stay in thailand for 60 days visa free since he has a uk passport. He will also need to fill an arrival card in like everyone else which can only be completed within the last 3 days before arriving

@Graeme *****
yes I know as I’m a regular visitor !!
Graeme ******
@Kevin *******
your replies would suggest not thats why I tried to make it clear in my answer that he would enter visa exempt and get 60 days which is more than his 6 weeks so no visa required!!! If you have visited often then why have you questioned my answer? I am confused with your response

If you're a UK or AUS passport holder, you can enter with a 60-day visa exemption and receive a free stamp on arrival.
