Indians can now visit Thailand for up to two months without a visa. The Thai government has extended its visa free hospitality, allowing individuals from various backgrounds, including employees, students, and retirees, to enjoy longer stays. Indians are expected to benefit from the new visa-free regine.
This new policy includes a total of 93 countries, including India. Thailand has eased visa regulations to attract more visitors as the country jumps back to normalcy post the pandemic.

Remote Workers To Benefit
Thailand will also permit remote workers, graduate students, and retirees from 93 nations to stay for up to 60 days. This move aims to enhance tourism and stimulate the economy. For remote workers, the visa validity extends to five years, allowing stays of up to 180 days at a time.
Thailand is a favourite destination for travellers. In 2023, the country welcomed around 24.5 million international tourists. With these new initiatives, the Thai government aims to increase this number, targeting 25 to 30 million foreign tourists annually.
In the first three months of this year, Thailand recorded 9.4 million foreign tourists, contributing an estimated 454.6 billion baht (£9.7 billion) to the economy. The country aims to reach a record of 40 million tourists this year, nearing its pre-pandemic figures from 2019.
