anandra Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Do not need to explain, but why did you ask my explanation, "What are you on" If you meant that those countries you mentioned have 90 days of visa-free entry to Thailand, it is false information, those that have, I named above.

sirineou Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 2 hours ago, sirineou said: We just came back from Greece this summer, and there you can stay visa free 90 days every 180 days. I m reminded of Dr Spock's famous line "Live long and suffer" . I think TAT should adapt a similar tagline. Why they would want people to come here and spend for a couple of months, How would something like that, hurt or help Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted November 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2023 So Americans are chopped liver? Not in Albania. Albania offers an entire year stay on arrival (no visa) for Americans ONLY! But you need to stay out three months before redoing that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alex8912 Posted November 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) It's too late. High season is here. A huge percentage of travelers coming especially for 31 days or more already have their tickets and visa already. Or they have chosen to go elsewhere for the winter by now. They don't understand that people plan months ahead to come here. They are complete fools. Edited November 14, 2023 by alex8912 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caldera Posted November 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2023 Simplify things, it's supposed to be fun. Make it 90 days, get rid of the tourist visa (60 days) and the option to extend (30 days). Then no tourist will need to deal with a Thai embassy (or the shoddy eVisa system) before their trip or with a Thai immigration office during their trip any longer. Which would remove all the hassle for those who wish to stay longer. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having to book all the accommodation before being given a visa and not having to book flights beforehand . hardly onerous requirements, best flight deals are often booked ahead, and you can easily book a hotel and cancel with zero cost 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persimmon Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 This would be great for those who spend the Winter in Thailand and fits in well with the new tax treatment . ie. 60 + 30 -----> border in/out , then another 60 + 30 gives 180 days . Excellent . Probably won`t happen though or maybe just for a few weeks then back to normal . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Matador Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I wish they would get rid of those annoying 30 days extensions which block a full day at the immigration office, but it is still a good step. I also wish it was a permanent move but I highly doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzBlizz Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Can you imagine a community of Thai people constantly complaining and telling each other that they have better ways of doing things, in that little berg you are from? You'd most likely be a little offended of the gall they would take upon themselves to be so arrogant of having all the answers, of things they were never asked in the first place. I would say that maybe 95% of every day people don't/won't subscribe to an internet public forum that are breeding grounds for Narcissists wanting total control of a narrative. I have always thought it was a fruitless waste of time, and yet I am drawn to the reading of know it all strangers accoutrements of personal and past conquests, and then watch the irritation and disdain they have for each other. Cheap free entertainment, keep it up! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is obviously not what he meant... Not which country you must be from to get 90 days in Thailand, but which countries YOU get 90 days visa exemption entries at. Malaysia, Japan and Singapore are 3. It's not that hard, is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing what Malaysia or Singapore already do, will make Thailand lose a very lucrative income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My e-visa just took 2 days to be approved. Are you telling me that you want to leave booking your flight until the last week? No need to book all your accommodation either, as a week will be enough. You could even book somewhere with free cancellation and change it after your visa is issued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, due to certain situations, I often book my flight a few days before I go When I applied, they wanted to see accommodation for the whole stay and a letter from my employee and I was concerned about safety of the web site and sending them by bank details 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
