Starting from September 15, Thailand is adjusting its rules for tourists entering the country. Previously, many visitors from at least 60 countries, including all European Union nations, could stay visa-free for up to 60 days. Now, that period will be reduced to a maximum of 30 days. This change is part of a broader effort to manage the impact of long-term stays by foreign visitors. The new regulation is intended to address issues related to crime and public safety. Officials have noted that extended stays can sometimes be linked to illegal activities, including human trafficking and fraud. By limiting the duration of visa-free visits, Thailand hopes to reduce the potential for such activities and better manage the flow of international visitors. Tourists planning to visit Thailand should be aware of this change and adjust their travel plans accordingly. Those who need to stay longer than 30 days will now have to apply for a visa in advance, which may add extra steps and time to their travel preparations. This update reflects Thailand’s ongoing efforts to balance tourism with national security concerns. While the country remains a popular destination for international travelers, the government is taking proactive steps to ensure that its tourism industry continues to operate safely and sustainably.
