Thailand shortens visa-free period for visitors
Thailand has decided to reduce the visa-free stay for tourists from 60 to 30 days, starting September 15, 2026, for passport holders from 60 countries, in an effort to better organize tourist flows. Additionally, a new visa system will be implemented, lowering the maximum visa-free stay from two months to one month, with the possibility of extending the stay by an extra 30 days within Thailand after obtaining approval. Entry rules via land borders have also been tightened, limiting visa-free entry to twice a calendar year, with exceptions for some countries such as Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, and Singapore. These changes do not apply to travelers who entered before September 15, 2026, under the current system.
