@Jo ******

the visa exemption is given on arrival to Thailand yes. It's for 30 days and is extendable once for 30 days.

The visa on arrival, which is not available to UK nationals, is for 15 days and I don't think it can be extended.

@Steve *****

yep only available once. Assuming the unable to travel due to covid extension isn't extended beyond 26 November then you'd need to either leave or switch to another visa.

You can't get a visa on arrival on a UK passport but you can get a 30 day visa exemption.

I don't know if you can apply for a 60 day tourist visa from India but if you can that will give you 3 months with the 30 day extension.

If you're spending nearly 50% of your time in Thailand then you may want to consider getting a more appropriate visa instead of relying on visa exemptions/tourist visas though.

You can come from wherever now I believe to the sandbox provided you're vaccinated. If I'm wrong someone will no doubt very quickly correct me!

That's Phuket. I don't have Samui details to hand.

@Tod ********

my wife and kids got their non-O at Cham Churi Square (I'm on non-B through BOI company).

The rules are supposed to be changing from 1 November. Wait until we know what exactly the updated requirements are.

@Derek **********

yep, still been reduced to 30 days though

Don't know, which one do you think it is?

Yep, but you might want to apply for a visa which suits the purpose of your travels.
