Holidaymakers heading to Thailand are being warned of new information they need to be aware of. The Foreign Office has said that certain UK travellers will need visas when entering the country.
In an update on Tuesday, July 16, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) told of ‘new information on visa requirements when arriving in country’. UK tourists are allowed to travel to Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa.
You can even extend your stay for up to 30 days after that. But any travellers who want to stay longer must get a visa before they board their flight.

“The period of stay can be extended for another period not exceeding 30 days. If you intend to stay longer (for work, study or other reasons) you need a visa before you travel.
