Hello! Long time without coming to Thailand (French passport), so I forgot many things about visas and need some help to clarify:

Is there (as there is in Indonesia) a difference between the visa exemption and the VOA? I am referring specifically to the ability to extend it. In Indonesia, you can't extend the exemption of visa as it is not an actual visa. You must leave on the 30th day. But you can extend the VOA (visa on arrival) and get 30 more days. The exemption is free, the VOA is not.

For what I read here, it seems that in Thailand you can extend the visa exemption...is it true or people are confusing exemption and VOA?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, I need to do an emergency visa run from Vietnam and was considering Thailand. I read there's a 30 days visa on arrival for French.

Do I need to fill any form or application before arriving?

Also i don't know how long i will have to stay exactly (7 to 15 days) is it mandatory to have a flight ticket to go out before the 30 days?

Do I need to show my vaccinations or to show a recent covid test?

Thank you very much for your help

Hi All,

I applied for a multiple entry tourist visa but still awaiting approval. I may want to come to TH earlier, can I come via Phuket Sandbox with visa on arrival given I hold a French passport?

Thanks!
