The Thai government’s free-visa policy for Chinese and Kazakhstani tourists has been endorsed in the Royal Gazette and published on Tuesday, September 19th.
The policy, which will take effect from September 25th to February 29th, 2024, will apply to visitors from China and Kazakhstan as announced by the Royal Gazette.
The tourists from the mentioned countries will be exempted from stamping and are allowed to stay within the kingdom of Thailand for a period not exceeding thirty days, as a special case.
The announcement specifies that it is imperative to attract international tourists to Thailand due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector, to stimulate the economy on both local and national scales.
Nevertheless, the scheme might not be an easy fix as we previously reported in details here.
