BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Thirty-day visas have been extended by 15 days to cover the time needed for foreign visitors to stay in quarantine. The Cabinet on Tuesday (Dec 22) approved the visa extension to 45 days for short-stay visitors, said government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul.

The move was proposed by the Interior Ministry since foreigners who enter the kingdom on a 30-day visa or visa-exempt stamp must currently quarantine for 14 days.
