As it's the 1st of October*, I'm interested to hear if anyone has been given a 45-day visa exemption stamp yet. (From one of the 53 countries eligible for a visa exemption.)

Also has the change been published in the Royal Gazette yet? Can we trust that all Thai borders will be issuing the 45-day visa exemption?

And lastly, is it a fact that Russians are not eligible for the 45-day visa exemption stamp, given that Russia is a visa waiver country? (I’m not Russian, I’m asking for someone else.)

*EDIT: OK, so it's not the 1st of October, it's the 30th of September. I'm just waiting impatiently in Malaysia. Nonetheless, tomorrow, if you get in with a 45-day stamp, please can you post on this page?
