When Thailand returns from the UAE on Saturday, Deputy Foreign Minister Jakkapong Sangmanee stated that he will try to talk with the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) about the possibility of them starting a visa-free program.
According to Mr. Jakkapong, who spent next Thursday until Saturday in the UAE to enter a World Trade Organization meeting, this may be a part of the government’s efforts to increase the availability of Thai visas.
Thailand’s No. 1 is the UAE. He claimed that Thailand and the UAE were the region’s number one trade partner, adding that last year’s trade volume was roughly US$ 9 billion ( 81.18 billion baht ).
The visa-free program may help increase comfort for travelers from both nations while Thailand continues to negotiate free trade with the UAE, he said.
He claimed that nearly 200 000 persons from the UAE flew into Thailand last month, and that there are now five direct flights between the UAE and Thailand every day.
