Thailand will allow 30-day visa-exempted entries by visitors from India, after a proposal to scrap visa-free entry led arrivals from the South Asian nation to drop in a blow to the vital tourism industry.
An initial proposal, which had not come into effect despite being approved by the cabinet in May, had caused confusion for Indian travellers and resulted in a decline of arrivals from the country, Tourism Minister Surasak Phancharoenworakul said after a weekly cabinet meeting.“The cabinet therefore approved a 30-day visa-free entry to align with the travel behaviour of Indian tourists, who represent a large market for Thailand,” Surasak told reporters after a weekly cabinet meeting. “If problems arise from this measure in the future, the government can review it then.”
