If you are planning a trip to Thailand, you may need to rethink how long you can stay. Thailand’s Cabinet has approved the end of the 60-day visa-free entry scheme for travellers from 93 countries, bringing the permitted stay for most visitors back to 30 days. The decision was finalised by Thailand’s minister of tourism and sports, Surasak Phancharoenworakul, and the core Cabinet.
The change, introduced as part of a wider crackdown on overstays and crimes involving foreign nationals, will affect travellers from major tourism markets including the UK, US, Australia, and India.
