Yes. Many places that come up on random google search results. Some are even embassy/consulate website that still have old info on them.

Older non updated websites that will still show 30 day visa exempt. Some still show “only 15 days if entering via a land border”. That stopped in 2016.

If you haven’t bought a visa prior to coming to Thailand then you would get stamped in for 60 days on what’s called a visa exempt entry.

You can extend that once for 30 days at a local immigration office. There are over 80 around the country so you use the one that serves the area your TM30 (notice of staying that is filed by the hotel or house owner) is filed.

Delayed for now. No official notice of when or if it may start.

Yes. Dependent DTVs can be applied for at any embassy/consulate (in person or evisa) once you have yours.

Since July 15th entering visa exempt was changed from 30 days on entry to 60 days on entry.

You are allowed one extension of 30 days from a local immigration office before you’d have to leave Thailand.

Depends on the office you use, but generally you’ll need to fill out the TM7 form (for extensions), a copy of your passport, a copy of your entry stamp, a copy of your visa, a passport sized photo a filed TM30 and 1,900 baht.

You won’t need to show an onward travel ticket and there’s an almost zero chance of being denied.

If they have an updated TM30 then they’d be good to go.

You do not need a residence certificate for an extension.

You can extend that once at a local immigration office for a further 30 days.

60 day visa exempt (no visa) just need your passport and last boarding card.
