Good news for travelers from India! Thailand On Your Travel Bucket List? Easier planning for your holiday. The Thai government has announced a 30-day visa exemption for those holding Indian passports. Indians can now remain in the country for 30 days without having to apply for a tourist visa. This is just for more visitors from India and to help international travel. And also less costly.

What has changed?

Thailand will continue its visa-free entry scheme for Indian travellers but has slashed the maximum period of stay to 30 days. There were earlier questions on whether the visa-free policy would continue, but now the latest announcement confirms that Indian tourists can still enjoy hassle-free entry without getting a visa in advance.

You can now: If you are going to Thailand for tourism,

• Stay in Thailand visa-free for up to 30 days

But travellers need to carry a valid Indian passport, proof of return or onward travel, accommodation details, and any other documents as requested by Thai immigration authorities. Also, be sure you follow all local immigration regulations while you are there.
