In a bid to attract more tourists, Thailand has waived visa requirements for arrivals from India and Taiwan. Starting November 10, Indians can travel to Thailand without a visa and stay there for up to 30 days. The visa-free access for Indian passport holders is available from November 10, 2023, to May 10, 2024.
The decision comes days after, Sri Lanka announced its visa-free entry initiative for visitors from India and six other countries including China, Russia, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia and Thailand.
Thai government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke quoted the authorities hoped that the scheme would attract 1.4 million extra tourists, generating additional 55 billion baht or $1.5 billion in revenue.
