Hi all, I’d just like to get confirmation that if my Thai wife and I enter Thailand before 31/3/23, I will be given 45 days on visa exemption. I can’t imagine trips have to be concluded by 31/3/23, but the wording on the UK and Thai sites are slightly vague. My wife is keen to apportion blame when things go wrong!

Many thanks.
Answer summary
The user seeks confirmation on receiving a 45-day visa exemption upon entering Thailand before March 31, 2023. According to a comment, entering Thailand on or before that date qualifies for the visa exemption, with the arrival day counting as day one. There is mention of a proposal to extend this exemption, but it remains unofficial.

Not before 31st March but enter by that date. So even if you enter on the 31st you'll get stamped in for 45 days.

Just remember that for counting, the day you enter is day 1.

There was also a report that the tourism agency has proposed extending this but for now it's just a proposal and not official.

@Jim *********
you can use a visa debit card to pay AUD. As for documents you need passport photos taken. I would do it first at the recommended shop in Sathorn. The embassy site has info

then you are betting 3 weeks of time that they won't be rejected in Canberra. They are very fussy. A 10 minute trip to Sathorn from the embassy is a better bet.

Would it be proposed for visas on arrival as well?

yes they propose the 45 day visa exempt and the 30 day visa on arrival to continue through the rest of 2023.
