New rules on EU diplomat travel agreed

Thailand and the European Union( EU) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding( MoU) agreeing to accept Laissez-Passer travel documents and ease the burden on traveling diplomats.

She stated that Laissez-Passer is a stable e-travel document provided by the EU for its associates and staff members and that the Member States recognize it as an official travel document.

She claimed that in the past, Thailand had just accepted travel documents from specific EU member states; for instance, if a French EU representative was traveling, the same nation had to issue those documents.

She continued,” From this point forward, EU delegates can enter Thailand using EU Laissez-Passer, which will work exactly like a regular travel record.”

The MoU, she continued, would open up potential opportunities for collaboration in a variety of fields and help travel between the EU and Thailand, particularly for high-level visits and specialized exchanges. Additionally, it may aid Thailand in methodically verifying all EU diplomats’ travel records.

” This MoU will progressively bind Thailand and the EU.” Following the resurgence of the complete relationship in 2019, she claimed that relations between Thailand and the EU have been in a positive dynamic for the past three years.
