Has anyone arrived from the UK this month and had problems because they did not have a VISA because we have an automatic 60 day visa for UK passport holders?

There so much contridictory information including on the Thai Government website.

Cheers.

Returned to the USA 🇺🇸 last month and plan on going back to Thailand 🇹🇭 late November. Was wondering if there has been any more talk about stopping the 60 day visa exemption?

TIA.

I know we have to leave Thailand every 6 months and then re-enter. Does anyone know for how long we have to be out of the country before we can re-enter? Thanks in advance.

Arrived in Thailand 28th Feb an got a 60 days visa at Bangkok airport.

This is my experience at the Thai, Laos Vientiane crossing these past few days on a visa bounce.

Left Thailand on 25th April. The Thai immigration officer said I could not return as they were clamping down on visa bounce however she did not red flag me in the system. She told me to take a chance and it was the returning visa officers decision whether I could enter or notm

On 29th I returned and once again the visa officer stated I could not enter. However my wife of 38yrs explained I had a return ticket to the USA and that next visit would be on a non O visa obtained in Washington. Phew! Luckily he accepted this and stamped me for a further 60 days we had our house blue book, marriage cert and my ticket. Preparation I believe helped.

Be careful they are getting much stricter.

Hope this helps.

For Americans, you got 6 months in Europe and got 2 months in Thailand without a visa, that doesn’t mean Thailand is less friendly to you than Europe, mostly because Thailand wants to generate more revenues from tourism by forcing you extending your visa or jumping back and forth, cutting the staying from 2 months to 30 days also aiming the same, generating more revenues, but this will bring more inconvenient for travelers and may affect their plans.

I was here three months (two months extended) ,

then I left a couple of weeks when I came back to Phuket they told me at the airports that I should’ve obtained a visa and forced me to buy a return ticket one month later not a day more. Gowever, when they stamped my passport, it said two months. Now I wanna stay a little over one month. Would that be an issue?
