30 Or 15 Day Stamp At Overland Crossings?

[Goatgruff]

I note from this website that as of 1 Apr there are new visa regulations and fees. I infer that now all checkpoints will stamp you in for 30 days, if your nationality does not require a visa.

More simply, as an American crossing the border from Cambodia to Thailand, will I receive a 30 stamp or a 15 day stamp?

Thanks for you help.

i am not aware of any changes and I believed it was still 15 days.

If you have a link to confirm 30 days it would be appreciated

Yes unless a real announcement was made on APRIL FOOLS DAY , land entries get FIFTEEN days.

Next ...

There is no mention of any difference between air or land entry. And I cannot find any other info to confirm or deny this.

It depends on your antionality, but a US citizen gets 15 days on a land entry without holding a visa.

Some like Russians, get 30 days because their country has an agreement with Thailand regarding visa exempt entries.

The linked web page was last updated 18 December 2006, ie it is not new.

The rule can be found here, but is a bit difficult as it is an ammendment to another document as well.

Correct. Extract from the cited web page as a quick reference for those interested:

Seems to be an old list, there are now a few more countries who get 30 days without a visa.

Koreans and Japanese I think are good for 90 days.

But the answer seems to be - April Fools!
