📌 What this means for you: Alongside the headline change to 30-day visa-free stays from 15 September, Thailand’s new regulations also shortened visa-exempt stays at land borders — the classic border-run to refresh a stamp now buys far less time. Immigration continues to enforce the Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) and to ask for proof of onward travel at checkpoints. If your plans involve crossing a land border, carry evidence of your onward or return journey and double-check the current allowance for your nationality before you travel.
