Time for Christopher Luxon to raise the issue of visa prices for New Zealanders who go to Thailand. New Zealanders pay 5 - 7 times the price of anyone else.

Show us the proof please.

 

I have always entered visa free at no cost. Last visit January, no charge. Maybe other nationals are getting paid to enter Thailand 🙄

This is the visa fees schedule at the website of the Thai Embassy in Wellington. Pages 1 and 2 are in Thai. Pages 3 and 4 in English. Compare them with the prices any other nationality pays for a visa.

NZ has, recently, amended their visa qualifications in an attempt to control the ingress of foreign workers. No doubt this will be discussed and result in a reasonable cost for a Tourist Visa to a NZ national wishing to visit Thailand.

It’s an automatic 30 day visa on arrival for kiwis currently

It’s free for kiwis to come here. Automatic 30 day visa on arrival.

That information is incorrect.

Tourist visas are not free.  The printout from the Thai Embassy in Wellington NZ is correct. 

 

Visa exempt / visa on arrival is free. 

 

2 different visas.

Really? That is the information currently posted on the Thai embassy website. Do you know better than they do?

I’m slightly incorrect, but so is the information posted. Kiwis automatically get a free 30 day tourist visa on arrival in Thailand. The fee listed on the embassy website is for longer visas (which fact it omits).

Once again, you're wrong. New Zealanders get a 30 day visa waiver.
