CanadaSam Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 No, it's now 30 days visa exemption and 30 days additional for 1900 baht. Following that, a border run for another 30 + 30 cost under $100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed 3 months in NZ and almost 3 months in Oz recently. But tell that the TAT. They now seem to prefer tourists from Asia. The visa policy over the past 15 years got stricter and stricter. And I don't see a return to 45 days visa-exempt, unless tourist numbers drop dramatically...

But tell that the TAT How is that related to Thailand. So assume you have farang passport and can visit Oz NZ etc easily. You would also receive 90 days Japan visa exempt. Having Oz pp I need visa to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Zero option for visa exempt entry. For Thailand they provide visa exempt entry to 64 country.

I tried to add: "And Thailand only 30 days?", but somehow couldn't add it. With ticket prices currently that high, why would tourists from Europe or North America travel here for only 3 or 4 weeks? Perhaps coming from Oz it makes more sense. (More flights, incl. budget airlines.) Edited April 17, 2023 by StayinThailand2much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(More flights, incl. budget airlines.) I agree. If flights are double it deters people. A progressive party would make the visa exemption much longer to attract people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again don't follow. It's VERY easy to stay in Thailand for 4 months. Visa exempt entry + extension. Plus one border bounce along with extension. That provides 4 months and one more visa exempt entry via land still in pocket . That is 6 months right there. Also METV for even longer stay. Up to 9 months. Vietnam (just one example) previously had 3 month multi entry visa. That's currently not available. Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per my earlier post. That can be extended by 30 days. A border bounce does not require flights. I recently flew Bangkok to Saigon return for 3500baht. If a border run flight is preferred.

Thailand cannot control flight costs from Europe etc. I have already explained the "visa fees" have not changed Visa exempt 45 days was a temporary stimulus. Get over it. 30 day visa exempt has always been lovely option from Thai gov. Also easy extended by 30 days for 1900baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
