Thai Tourism: Indians Can Visit Thailand Visa Free And Stay Up To 30 Days
Thailand has decided to waive off requirements for Indians as a bid to boost tourism. Indians can visit Thailand from November 10, 2023 to May 10, 2024 without visa and stay there for 30 days. The new arrangement for the visa requirement is for India and Taiwan. In September, Thailand has done the same for Chinese nationals.
After Malaysia, China and South Korea, India is Thailand’s fourth largest shot in the market of tourism. Indian travelers were lured by many countries post the Covid 19 pandemic, during which the Tourism Sector around the globe halted.
This is the second time such news has come in search of Indian wanderlusts. Earlier Sri Lanka has announced visa-free entry up to March 31, 2024, for India and six other countries including Russia and China. The arrangement was as part of the country’s pilot project.
According to data provided by Indian government, within the time span of 2011-2019, the number of Indian traveling abroad rose from 1.4 crore to 2.7 crore. And after Covid 19 pandemic, again rose to 2.1 crore.
Thailand has witnessed a growth of whopping 927.5billion baht ($25.6 7 billion) from January to October 29 as there were about 22 million visitors to Thailand, says latest government data. The country is targeting around 28 million visitors this year hoping to prosper the constrained economic sector.
