That's correct! Here's what I found out from AI: The new rule has not yet been published in the Royal Gazette. Because it has not been gazetted, the 60-day visa exemption is still legally in effect for US citizens arriving right now. While the Thai Cabinet approved the rollback on May 19, 2026, the legislative process is still pending: Enforcement Timeline The Legal Trigger: The rule only changes after the Ministry of Interior drafts are officially published in the Royal Gazette. The Grace Period: Once published, there is a 15-day waiting period before the 30-day limit actually becomes active at border control. Current Status: Until that publication happens, airport and land immigration officers are continuing to issue the 60-day stamp to arriving US citizens.
