BANGKOK: Thailand plans to halve the number of days it allows foreign tourists to stay without visas to 30 days as the South-East Asian nation cracks down on travelers exploiting the waiver to engage in illegal businesses, according to Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong.
Since July 2024, Thailand has allowed passport holders from 93 countries to enter the country for tourism for a period not exceeding 60 days. The reduction to 30 days has been agreed in principle by various ministries, various Thai media outlets reported on Monday (March 17), citing Surawong.
