The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) desires to see 45-day visa-free stays for tourists from 64 nations extended until the top of 2023 to spice up tourism restoration. The TAT proposed the extension in January, but the policy is set to finish this Friday, March 31, and the Cabinet still hasn’t reached a call on whether it is going to be continued, the TAT told The Thaiger right now.
The Cabinet convenes on Tuesdays, so perhaps a decision might be made next week, or maybe a decision was made yesterday and hasn’t but been announced. The TAT suggested The Thaiger that the choice is predicted to come back “in April.”
Right now there is no telling whether vacationers (from sixty four countries) coming into Thailand from April 1 will be granted 30 or forty five visa-free days in the kingdom.
In Factors , Thailand’s Cabinet accredited the temporary extension of visa on arrival and visa exemption on arrival.
Between October 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023, international vacationers arriving in Thailand are eligible to stay in the kingdom – without cost – as follows, relying on their passport country…
If the policy ends on Friday, tourists from 64 international locations will go back to being granted a most of 30 visa-free days in Thailand.
Hopefully, the Cabinet sees the financial potential in extending the 45-day visa exemption on arrival policy till the year’s end.
Last year, the TAT predicted that prolonged stays would spur vacationers to remain in Thailand for an additional five days on common. If each tourist spent 4000 – 5000 baht per day, that’s an extra 20,000 baht pumped into the economy per tourist for each journey made to Thailand..
