Hello,

Does everyone still receive 60 days on arrival? How do you think it will be over this month or next month?

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The current consensus is that travelers from eligible countries can still receive a 60-day visa on arrival. While the Thai government is expected to discuss potential changes around mid to late May, no official announcements have been made yet. Most comments suggest that unless new regulations are officially implemented, the 60-day visa remains intact for the time being.

If it happens will they announce it and give a (let's say) 30 notice.. or , for example, you plan to fly to Thailand in 7 days and by the time you arrive they have charged it overnight and you only get a stamp of 30 days ..

And having enough money when you arrive

I once got stamped in for 2 years on a 60-days tourist visa. What I am trying to tell you is, you must check the stamp you receive at the Immigration booth on the spot. Sometimes people get stamped in wrongly

Based on past AI, the official visa change is expected around the middle of May or the end of May; it will go into effect after Cabinet approval and publication in the Royal Gazette. Now still in the stage of waiting for Cabinet Approval

If you hold a passport from one of the 93 countries that are allowed to enter visa exempt then yes it's still 60 days. No word of it changing, just talk so far

if you are from the correct country it's still 60 days . However asking Facebook what will happen in the next month or two is so strange, the thai government can't even make up their minds what to do, how the hell are Facebook users going to be able to tell you....such a pointless question....
