Thailand has ended its 60-day visa-free entry scheme for Indian travellers. Under the new rules, Indians can now visit the country through a Visa on Arrival system. The visa will allow a stay of up to 15 days. Thailand said the changes were made due to concerns over security, illegal work and transnational crime. The new policy will come into effect 15 days after official publication in the Royal Gazette. Thailand had introduced the 60-day visa-free scheme for Indians in 2024 to boost tourism.
