Thailand has relaxed its rules to enter the kingdom via visa exemptions as part of measures to promote tourism and encourage longer stays, Interior Ministry spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul says. The directives took effect on Monday.
The directives include a new list of countries eligible for visa-free entry into Thailand, increasing from 57 to 93, enabling visitors from these countries to stay for up to 60 days, including a possible 30-day extension. Travelers from Nordic countries, including Finland, are eligible for this new visa exemption.
Thailand will also nearly double the number of countries eligible for visas on arrival, from 19 to 31. In addition, the country will introduce the Destination Thailand Visa service, targeting digital nomads, freelancers and visitors looking to perform or learn skills such as cooking and Muay Thai.
The new visa type, valid for five years, allows holders to stay up to 180 days.
