Hi. I visited Thailand several times over the past 12 months either overland or by air. Each arrival was visa exempt with an Australian passport.

My last arrival was in June this year through Suvanabhumi Airport. On this occasion I was taken aside by an immigration supervisor and I was told I was entering Thailand too frequently on visa exempt stamps and that I should apply for a eVisa instead.

Now I would like to make a short visit on short notice.

The eVisa seems to require 10 days to process and I have to purchase a ticket prior to applying.

Would it be a mistake to ignore the warning I received on my last arrival and just show up and hope for a trouble free visa exempt stamp on arrival. Or would you advise applying for an eVisa?

Thank you for your advice.

FYI: arrived Da Nang Sunday Oct 20. Applied evisa that night to Thai embassy in HCMC.

Documents were pdfs:

1. a single statement with funds in Australian bank account of 500,000 baht equivalent.

2. Proof of location: passport stamp into Vietnam and receipt from accommodation in Vietnam.

3. My work contract with my Australian company showing I can work remotely.

Evisa received via email on Wed Oct 23 at 10pm.

Now back in Thailand with a 180 day stamp on my passport.

It might have been asked before but, I'm planning to return to Thailand next week after my initial 5-day trip in mid-August this year. Are there any restrictions on the number of visa-free entries when traveling with an Australian passport?

Travelling on Australian passport flying to the uk for a 5 week holiday with my Thai wife

Have been to my local immigration office only advice I got from them was go to the Thai embassy in London for a visa

Just looking for some conformation that it’s possible to get a visa on my return

Hi members..

Getting bit confusing about entering Thailand from Australia..

Having an Australian Passport does this get stamped for 60 days then apply for 30 day extension.

Or do I have to apply for 60 day E Visa than than apply for another 30 day extension.

I'm planning on spending 90 days in Thailand the doing border hop Nong kai into Laos for a few days then re enter for another 60 days.. is this possible.

Thanks for information

With the Australian passport does that get stamped 60 days or do I apply for the 60 day visa

For holiday. With the 60 days I can border hop one day from Nong Kai into Laos

Return to Thailand get another 60 day stamp then get 30 day extension making 150 days in total.

Is this correct. Thanks

Hi People.. bit confused about the new 60 days visa. Being Australian we hold a passport to enter Thailand

Passport been extended to 60 days and can I get an extension and how extension...

Thanks for all information

Any advice appreciated on the process of Australian passport renewal currently expires in 2026 but i want to renew it now 2 months into my latest retirement visa TIA.

Hello, is it possible to enter with the visa exemption 30 days and then extend in Bangkok? I have an Australian passport. I am flying in mid-July so am hopeful the 60 day visa exemption might be in effect by then.

Info appreciated. Could use a break from Pattaya so thinking of a week in China for something different.
