If you’re still wondering about the visa situation in Thailand, then this report from the Phuket Gazette should clear it up.
In short: the new ruling applies if you are a national from a country that does not need a visa to enter Thailand. Should you enter Thailand via a land border, you will be given 15 days to stay in the country.
However, if you enter via any of Thailand’s airports, you will get 30 days to stay in the country.
The previous limit of 90 days within any given year has now been abolished, meaning unlimited visa runs.
Thailand is one of the regions top diving destinations with so much to see and do. So if you feel you need a longer visa to enjoy your Thailand diving holiday hassle free, then contact the Thai embassy in your country to apply for a 90-day visa before you leave for Thailand.
