Thai Cabinet Extends Visa Waiver for Kazakhstani Tourists

 

The Thai Cabinet announced on Tuesday that tourists from Kazakhstan will have their visa-free entry extended for another six months," said Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin during a press briefing after the weekly Cabinet meeting. The extension means that tourists from Kazakhstan can visit Thailand without a visa until August 31.

Thailand had initially allowed visa-free entry for tourists from Kazakhstan starting from September 25, 2023, with the waiver scheduled to expire on February 29. Under this arrangement, tourists from Kazakhstan could stay in Thailand for up to 30 days.

Prime Minister Srettha explained that the Cabinet decided to extend the visa waiver for Kazakhstani tourists because they contribute significantly to the Thai tourism industry by spending generously.
