Visa Exemption for Thailand
Indian nationals can travel to Thailand without a visa and stay for up to 30 days between November 10, 2023, and May 10, 2024.
If you hold a passport from Norway or Iceland, you can go to Thailand for tourism without needing a visa, and you can stay for up to 30 days. Just make sure you have proof of your travel plans, like tickets to leave Thailand within 30 days from when you arrive. This rule also works if you’re traveling by land or sea, but you can only use it twice in a year. But remember, this only applies to people with passports from Norway or Iceland; they won’t accept other travel documents.For more information, Please click here
