Some advice from you good people please.

I have heard that this rule will be changing to a 30 days Visa Free rule.

If it changes it will probably reduce to 30 days and you will be able to extend for another 30 days for 1900 bht so no problem
Andreas *********
Where is that problem? If it changes, you see it. Normal tourist visa And no problems.
Ling *****
Andreas Trummer time buddy, if it changes with short notice he has no time to get a tourist visa Online. Some Consulates take weeks to process it.
Andreas *********
Ling Gah Then he should do it to be on the safe side. He knows the travel period. Application up to 3 months in advance. €35 shouldn't be a problem.
Mick *****
It's not coming into force in the next 10 days. You'll be fine.
Shane ***********
You will be here in a week, don’t worry you will be fine. Just TDAC 72 hours prior to arrival. It’s free so take care with scams
Mike *******
you will be stamped in for 60 days, if the rule changes after you are here it will not affect your stay.
Mark ******
OPMike Vilmo Thanks Mike, so it’s business as per usual 🙏
Ralph *******
Yes. It will take time for the change to be implemented and it needs to be enacted first.
Louis **********
If and when they make the change it will be months before its applied. I'm flying out on

/2026 and plan to stay 90 days. 60 days visa exempt + 30 day extension.
Darren *******
Louis Dardengo I wouldn't rely on it taking months before it's applied...previous changes are very often approved, published in the Royal Gazette, and then implemented later that day or the following day.
Ralph *******
Louis Dardengo Have you done this frequently? In the last year?
Louis **********
Ralph Tyson no
Ralph *******
Louis Dardengo Good. They are getting quite difficult about it.
Sujy *********
The change is always the 1st of a month, so June 1, July 1, etc. So if not June 1, you are okay until July 1. But if you enter May 20, you get 60 days no matter what happen on June 1.
Graham ******
Sujy Sujaree but the current 60 day visa exempt entry was introduced at 16:00 on 14-Jul-2024 so you're not correct
Steve******
Louis Dardengo why you think that? It is just questionable when the change the law but it could happen very fast. Then it will be published in the Royal Gazette and - generally - could be effective as of the next day.
They might set an effective date but I wouldn't count on it.

Louis Dardengo don't count on that

Kathy Card-Dracz still no source- of course not!!
Graham ******
Kathy Card-Dracz link please
Sue **********
Kathy Card-Dracz can you please show your source where you read it?
Sue **********
Kathy Card-Dracz so it was published in the Royal Gazette? (the only reliable source in Thailand for things to change)
Louis **********
Kathy Card-Dracz Your source?
Family******
Louis Dardengo source: trust.me
John **********
You'll be fine, nothing has changed and even if it did you could get a 30 day extension
Dennis **********
Until it actually happens no one knows what's going on
Kenneth *******
Just do a E visa on line takes 5 minutes
Graham ******
Kenneth Owens A Tourist Visa might take 5 minutes to complete the online application but many Embassies quote 15 working days processing time (or are you referring to the TDAC?)
Sue **********
Kenneth Owens well thats not quite right.
Steve *******
Kenneth Owens Not sure anyone's got an evisa in 5 minutes 🤔. The quickest I've seen reported is 2-3 days from Laos and the UK.
