Hello, we are from India and travelling to Thailand for 20 days. From 12th June to 2nd July. Have the new visa rules been implemented yet? If not, when? Is it better to get e-Tourist Visa? Would we get 60 day visa exemption upon arrival on 12th June?

Thank you
Answer summary
Travelers from India arriving in Thailand on June 12th will still be eligible for the old 60-day visa exemption, as the new visa rules have not yet been implemented. These changes take effect 15 days after their publication in the Royal Gazette, and since they have not yet been published, the current 60-day visa exemption remains valid. It is also suggested that obtaining an e-Tourist Visa could be a convenient option, but it may not be necessary for the specified dates.

We don’t have a crystal ball but as it hasn’t been published in the Royal Gazette, you should be ok for 60 days visa exemption.

As it is today, 60 days visa exemption.

Not yet, and they won't be until 15 days after they've been published so arriving on the 12th June you should get the 60 day visa exempt stamp

When you will arrive, the old 60 days visa exemption will still apply.

So you don't have to worry.

The new rules will start 15 days after being published in the Royal Gazette. We don't even know yet when it will be published.

So you will arrive before the changes will take affect.
