India waives visa fee for Thai nationals
India has waived the visa fee for Thai nationals, granting them a 30-day e-Tourist visa with double entry. This arrangement will remain in effect until December 31, 2027, or until further notice. Thai citizens can apply for the visa through the official online portal. Indians, on the other hand, can enter Thailand without a visa.
The move comes as Thai tourists are also granted a 30-day visa exemption for India. The earlier Indian visitors could stay in Thailand for up to 60 days under the visa-exemption scheme. Individuals wishing to stay beyond 30 days can apply for an appropriate e-visa through Thailand's official e-visa portal. The revised scheme will come into force after the relevant announcement is published in the Royal Gazette.
