"I'm confused. Recently, Thailand changed the tourist visa duration from 60 days back to 30 days, starting in May 2025. However, when I visited the official Thai E-Visa website and checked the FAQ section under 'Do I need a tourist visa?', I entered my nationality (United States) and my intended stay (60 days). The website responded: 'You can travel to Thailand without a visa for no longer than 60 days.'
Does this mean I can stay in Thailand for 60 days without needing to apply for a visa extension?"
From my search, it looks like U.S. citizens can still stay in Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days. However, Thailand is introducing an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system starting in June 2025, which will require visa-exempt travelers to register before arrival.
The new ETA is supposed to come into effect on the 1st of may I fly to Thailand in the 30th April and land in Bangkok at 09.30 on the 1st of may how will I get round this situation?
I'm in Thailand and have just read that from May 1st a TM6 form instead of the "not in force yet "ETA will be required prior to arrival....anybody else heard of this ?...do the Thais know what on earth is going on. ?
I have Canadian friends coming to visit and they have read about the ETA but can't seem to find where on the evisa site to fill it out. Has it been officially deployed yet?
