Upnotover Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 23 hours ago, KunMatt said: I'm travelling to Thailand on 22nd July. Is this new 60 day visa exempt rule going to happen before then? If not, is everyone using the eVisa? I'm currently doing an application on there but it's much more complicated than it needs to be. Does anyone know how long it takes for the eVisa to process? And are they generally successful? TIA I did one last year, easy, UK, took 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khman Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Hello! If I understand well the theory is, instead of 30 days, 60 days extension for most countries, effective since june 1st but in the reality not effective yet? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffyFerret890 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Interesting that nowhere it is pointed out that citizens of Brazil, Peru and South Korea will drop from 90 days to 60 days visa free access. Only Argentina & Peru remain at 90 days. Anyone have a clue why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael888 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Well, guess It won't be happening in June. Anyone have any additional info on the real date? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Korea perhaps the treatment of Thais generally there and by immigration officers...or Korea took a step-down on ease of entry for Thais.

When the 60 days exemption visa is really in place, then the airline company can't say anything if my return flight is say 55 days after? Also, if you have any website I can book/refund just to get the emails... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya57 Posted Tuesday at 09:27 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:27 AM (edited) 7 minutes ago, Maestro said: The check-in staff can still say if they want to. No they can't. They must follow IATA rules and if Thailand has 60 days visa exempt then they can't stop anyone who has a flight within 60 days Edited Tuesday at 09:27 AM by Pattaya57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
