Thailand has actually updated its visa-free entry rule for citizens of Indian passport – to allow them to continue entering the country without a visa – but with a maximum stay period of 30 days instead of 60 days. The new rule clears the confusion among Indian tourists regarding the proposed change in the visa-free program – which has been in question for weeks.
Thailand Visa-Free Policy Revised
The new policy is likely to improve the convenience of travellers and Thailand’s tourism industry – as it reduces the hassle for short trips, business and family visits. The new 30-day rule is adequate for most leisure travelers – since most Indians are spending less than a week in Thailand.
People who are travelling for longer periods of time – should be aware of the updated duration of travel – and those intending to stay in Thailand for longer than 30 days will need to apply for a suitable visa. Given the latest immigration requirements – it is recommended that travelers check the latest requirement before traveling – to book flights and accommodation and to avoid any travel disruption.
Indian tourists continue to visit Thailand in large numbers – due to its beautiful beaches, lively nightlife, cultural and historical sites, shopping and delicious cuisine. The move will help strengthen tourism ties with India, which has been visa-free for some time now – and also help in introducing a more balanced stay policy.
The simple message for Indian travelers is that while visa-free travel continues – they will need to plan their vacations within the new 30-day stay period. This update from Efficient Tourism will help visitors to continue to enjoy the best of Thailand’s tourism facilities – with a minimum of formalities in travel and in compliance with the latest immigration regulations!
