Hi all.

We are arriving in Thailand on Tuesday 26th May, we had planned to stay 60 days on tour around Thailand.

Does anyone know if we will get a 30 or 60 day visa free period stamp on Tuesday.

We are from Australia.
Answer summary
As of the travel date on May 26th, it is expected that Australian travelers will receive a 60-day visa on arrival in Thailand. Current discussions indicate that changes to visa policies have not yet come into effect, so travelers should proceed with the assumption that they will be granted the full 60 days.

Good Luck Mate.

Lawrie White they say that they are arriving on the 26th. Today is the 22nd. Quite a task to get a 60 day tourist visa in that time frame.

Lawrie White 22nd Friday

23rd &24th are weekend.

You are not being realistic when the application web site says 2 -3 weeks.

I applied 2 days ago so this is very fresh in my memory

As the change isnt published in the Royal Gazette yet, you will get 60 days next Tuesday.

Even after the pubication in Royal Gazette there are 15 days after publication to get the new rules in effect
