Thailand extends visa waiver for tourists from India and Taiwan

The move comes after a successful trial period of visa-free entry for several countries in the past four months, which resulted in a 40% increase in tourist arrivals from China, India, Russia, and Kazakhstan, said government spokesperson, Chai Wacharonke.

The government is expanding the visa-free policy to cover a total of 93 countries, up from the previous 57 countries. The duration of stay for visa-free visitors has also been extended from 30 days to 60 days.
