The department of Foreign affairs made that announcement, but they jumped the gun, so as I said nothing is different, when you come here you will still get a 30 day visa exempt stamp upon entry to Thailand, and you can extend that one time only at your local immigration office for 1,900 baht. At this stage there has been no official date for the implementation of the 60 visa exempt, so just wait and watch.

You are talking about the proposed increase for a visa exempt from 30 days to 60 days, and no it has not been implemented yet. The 60 day tourist visa remains unchanged, they are both totally different things, just to let you know.

I honestly think you should learn how to read English properly, or the very least understand the meaning of the words when they are used to form a sentence. Go back and read my comment again slowly, and just maybe you can comprehend the meaning of my comment. By being rude and ignorant you have just confirmed the fact to everyone here that you don’t need a long neck to be a goose.

Depends where you are living in Thailand a lot of immigration offices will not except the monthly financial requirements only the yearly requirements of 400,000 baht and seasoned correctly. Go and ask your local immigration office what they will except in regards to this.

@Bart *************

555 announced everywhere, but the 60 day visa exempt has not been implemented as of yet, so before you start insulting people please get your facts right.

@Ste ******

A visa exempt entry stamp is 30 days and can be extended only once for another 30 days, where did you get 60 days from?

Visit your local immigration office and ask for the handout which outlines the requirements for that office, as most immigration offices vary slightly. That way you will know exactly what you require.

No it is not required for renewal of your 2 year temporary license to your 5 year driving licence.

Unfortunately there is no 90 day extension available for being married to a Thai National, but you can get a yearly extension if the 400,000 baht is in your account 2 months before you apply for the extension.

Not as yet, just keep a eye on the news and don’t listen to gossip.
