Ryanqqq Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Hello, has anyone got info if 45 visa exempt will be extended after March? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gayinpattaya Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Nothing has been confirmed yet in any Thai media. I personally think they would be stupid not to. It's certainly helping people I talk to lengthen their trips before return back to the west. Ryanqqq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcSingap Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Coming back in LOS yesterday from Siem Reap, I had a 45 day length visa. I asked if I will enjoy the same welcome in April and the officer said "yes it will be given also during Songkran month (april)" reader, vinapu, TMax and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanqqq Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Thanks for the info. I hope they extend this to the end of the year. if they extend on April, I really doubt they’ll just extend it one month so here’s hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedssocr Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think the inertia of these things will be difficult to change. Just like the "suspension" of the TM6 arrival/departure form floridarob and TMax 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerefan Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Aren’t they having an election in late May? Surely nothing will be announced until we’ll after that. TMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iendo Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I decided to get a Tourist visa, but was half regretting it afterward. My passport is good to next year, and I am requesting a new one tomorrow. This will probably render my online visa useless because it has been linked to my current passport. Maybe immigration will accept my new passport if I can show/bring my old passport and give me the visa on arrival. But the point is that it really doesn't matter that much because I arrive in 2.5 weeks. The difference is 15 days, and that makes it very acceptable in my case. So yeah, I hope they keep the scheme alive. Ryanqqq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post reader Posted March 13 Popular Post Share Posted March 13 Late last week Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Governor Yuthasak Supasorn made this observation on the possible extension of the 45-day VOA: "If the government continues their scheme of extending tourist visas and visas on arrival, from 30 to 45 days and 15 to 30 days, the TAT believes people will take advantage and stay in Thailand for longer. But the scheme’s extension from March 31 to the end of the year still requires cabinet approval. And, if the plight of foreigners sticking it out in Thailand during the pandemic showed us anything, approval often comes a day or two before visa programs expire or even later." vinapu, TMax, tm_nyc and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
