Thailand has extended its visa-free entry for Indian passport holders, allowing stays of up to 60 days without a visa. This extension, which was initially set to end on November 11, 2024, has no end date for now. The change is seen as a significant boost for tourism from India to Thailand.
Indian tourists visiting Thailand can also apply for an additional 30-day extension after the initial 60 days. This flexibility makes it easier for travelers to explore the country without the hassle of a visa.
This initiative aims to boost tourism and support the local economy, particularly in the tourism sector, by attracting more visitors from India, a key market. It will also create more employment opportunities for locals in tourism-related industries.
Thailand's Tourism Authority believes that this extended visa-free policy will make the destination even more attractive to Indian tourists, simplifying the travel process and potentially increasing tourism revenues.
