The call on this is made by the country to which you visit, not the country you come from nor the country whose passport you have. In the past Thailand has not enforced this rule, but that does not mean the rule no longer exists.

Anal retention here.
Does it matter what the different rules say?

But it doesn't say when the clock starts on the six months (entry, exit, or date of application).
Because the 30 day stamp is shorter than the proper visa, they may use the 90 day rule mentioned. In that case, both websites could technically be accurate. However, I'm inclined to believe it is 6 months from time of entry.

Posts: 17Questions for expats
Senior member over at the Usasexguide site, just starting here.
Few questions for all western expats living in Bangkok or Thailand in general. Especially those that work there.
I have planned for some time to move to Thailand when I retire, lately have been considering it sooner. How many of you, that are from the west or AU, work in Thailand. And, without giving away details, what sort of work is it? Ie. Work for western corp that has office in Thailand, work for Thai company, own my own business, etc.
It is possible I may be able to continue working for my currently company and just work remotely from Thailand (or where ever). But I like to cover all my bases.
Thanks

Some people apply for a passport, use it once and then never think about it again until a decade later when they plan another trip, only then to discover their passport has expired. Fortunately, one can pay the freight and expedite the application for a new passport.
People who travel more regularly, as is probably the case with most ISG members, are probably aware well in advance of when their passport is due to expire.
Maybe someday in the future one or two poor sots who are unaware of the 6-month rule will stumble across these useless posts and think to check their passports' expiration dates.

I wrote that I was surprised to read they can get a Thai visa for a US citizen with a passport so close to expiring. I did not say I think or know the information is incorrect. This is a sizable company whose headquarters is in Washington, D. C. They have been in business for over a decade, have close relationships with the major embassies in that city, and have offices in several other cities. They are skilled at getting passports and visas quickly and are adept at dealing with red tape. I have known people who have used and had nothing but good things to say about their services. I do not think they would claim to be able to do something they could not do.
Personally, an expiring passport is not something I even think about. I've always had mine renewed by about the end of the ninth year.
