It certainly is confusing. In the past it was always 90 days per entry. I just wondered if there has been a change...

@Robert ******

I understand what you are saying but that is not what the Embassy is telling us.

That's what I thought, however the London Embassy Web page states, about Non-immigrant visas generally: 'Multiple Entries Visa will be valid for 1 year from the date of issue. You must enter Thailand within the validity of visa. However, the permitted length of stay is up to 1 year from the date of your arrival in Thailand. Please carefully note the immigration stamp in your passport to make sure that you do not overstay your visa.'

I've been coming to Thailand regularly for the past 8 years and have never felt or experienced any discrimination based on colour by immigration, or any other Thai officials. Always allowed in without any problems on SETVs and visa exemptions ... so far.

Thanks, Tod. Just keeping my options open.

I did the same a couple of years ago. The officer pointed it out and said, effectively, 'don't do it again'. No stamp or fine...

This sounds like a temporary problem. I'm sure they'll be back to normal as soon as they can. The King's funeral was a big deal to most Thais...

I got mine in September...

I am currently on a Tourist visa for which I applied to the London embassy by post. Came back by return post, as it has always done over the past several years. Takes 2-3 days. Things could have changed...

Yes, I was caught out once. I had assumed a day was 24 hours! Not in Thailand, a day can be only 5 mins, as you say. I was out by a day and overstayed a day. Only got a finger-wagging on the way out though.
