The Tourism Authority of Thailand is contemplating shortening the visa-free stay for Chinese tourists from 60 days to 10-15 days due to various concerns.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is contemplating a significant change to the visa policy for Chinese tourists. Currently, visitors from China enjoy a visa-free stay of 60 days. However, TAT is considering cutting this period down to just 10 to 15 days.
This potential shift aims to address concerns about the impact of prolonged stays on local resources and infrastructure. A shorter visa-free period could help manage tourist numbers more effectively, ensuring a more sustainable approach to tourism.
The decision is still under discussion, and TAT is weighing the benefits and drawbacks of this proposed policy change.
