TLDR : Answer Summary

The type of visa needed to enter Thailand depends on your nationality, the duration of your stay, and the purpose of your visit. Many travelers from certain countries can enter Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days (visa exemption). Visitors planning to stay longer can apply for a tourist visa online for a duration of 60 days, which can be extended. It's recommended to check your local Thai Embassy's website for specific guidelines related to your circumstances.

Have you noticed that no matter how easy things get, people still ask someone else to do the work, modernism.

Just been accepted and already find just another site of keyboard warriors and I agreed to be Freindly and polite to be accepted 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not particularly bright when it comes to governments sites and form filling so I’ll guess I’ll go on tiktok because if it’s on there it’s has to be accurate 😔

If your U.K. passport, you get 30day visa exemption. So you don’t need to apply for anything, unless your planning a trip longer than 30days

Nothing to do with nationality, American or not - I am not American but I guess because of the way I raised my children I could be construed to be American on this site.

Bob, you are asking a rudimentary question without doing even the basic search for the information you seek. It's like being too lazy to "try" to find the answers yourself prior to asking for assistance/help. We help those who help themselves. We are not here for lazy individuals who seem to have the intelligence to seek and gather most of what they are looking for easily, on 1 website... there is an expectation for those who are able to at least try.

Why would a moderator even approve a post like this? It should’ve been declined with feedback asking the OP to provide the critical information.

Let's be honest. You provided no country of origin, purpose of visit, or how long you planned on staying. Brain dead ? Really ? Sounds more like the pot calling the kettle black. You are not helpful in the least. Information providers we are but mind readers we are not.

He's British, judging from lion wrapped in a British flag on his profile. Unlike Thais wishing to have a holiday in UK, he doesn't have to pay a visa fee, ruinously expensive agents, he doesn't even need a visa for a 30 day visit. Wish the UK would reciprocate. He might be pleased to know he can still get a fry up and a Sunday roast in Thailand.

and during those centuries there wasn’t a Facebook group specifically for advice. Isn’t efficiency wonderful? As ive mentioned already, Google is now crap because there’s too much garbage out there (for example, the website posing as the Thai embassy that is not). If you have a problem with people asking for advice, you may be the who is lost.
