Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin wants to discuss visa-free travel to and from the Schengen countries
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has announced that Thailand will expand its visa waiver to citizens of more countries, following an earlier waiver for travelers from China and India. The move is aimed at revitalizing the tourism sector, crucial to the economy of Southeast Asia's second largest economy. Discussions are also underway about visa-free travel with Australia and countries within the Schengen zone, in an effort to promote travel and business.
Traveling from Thailand to China will soon be visa-free for travelers with a Dutch passport
From December 1, Dutch people can travel to China visa-free for a period of fifteen days. The temporary measure, which also applies to some other European countries and Malaysia, is part of China's efforts to revive post-pandemic tourism and improve its international image.
Thailand has risen six places to 65th in the World Passport Power Ranking based on the number of locations its holders have visa-free access to, according to a recent survey by Henley & Partners Holdings Ltd
Schengen visa question: Visa-free travel for family members
If I, as a Dutch citizen, married to Thai (she lives in Thailand) want to go on holiday together in Europe – but not in the Netherlands – will she be able to claim this visa?
It was completely unclear to me whether I need to arrange a visa to stay in Thailand for 3 months. Just like corona measures, entry and residence rules were constantly changing.
