It’s never been simpler to travel to Thailand and remain there for a long time thanks to the new immigration rules released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In a significant modify, the entry mark will be for 60 days and retractable at an emigration workplace for another 30 days, increasing the number of nations ready for visa-free entry from 57 to 93, including China and India. Up to 15 days of short-term employment in Thailand is permitted, but you must first obtain permission from a labor department or the airport.  ,
If you come from a state not on the request provision record, there may also be good news: Visa-on-arrival is now available for another 31 places, up from the previous 19. But it’s a single-entry mark for just 15 days, and it costs 2, 000 baht.
The maximum amount of health insurance coverage for those on pension visa has been reduced from 3 million to just 400 000.
Additionally, the 40, 000 international students who attend Thai colleges and universities are permitted to stay for a year after graduating, as well as having the option to work in their fields.
