Why do citizens of certain countries get a 90-day visa on arrival in Thailand while others, like the US, only receive 30 days?
I wonder if anyone might be able to shed some light as to why the people living in the countries below are allowed a 90 day visa on arrival when those living in the larger ones such as in the evil US (I know, I live here) are only given 30 days with an admittedly good shot at the 30 day extension? To get the 1900TB for the extension, do you think?
Answer summary
The post questions the disparity in visa on arrival durations for travelers from different countries, noting that some countries receive a 90-day visa while US citizens only receive a 30-day visa. The author suggests that extending the visa might require a fee (specifically referencing a 1900 Thai Baht charge) and is seeking clarification on the reasoning behind these differing regulations.
