Thailand’s Cabinet OKs New Tourism Package to Lure More Foreign Tourists
BANGKOK – Thailand’s Junta Government on Tuesday approved a tourism promotion package aimed at attracting more foreign tourists to Thailand to meet the government’s ambitious goal of earning two trillion baht in tourism revenue from 38 million tourists.
The package includes double-entry visa for six months for tourists who apply for tourist visa at Thai embassies or consular offices abroad with visa fee remaining at 1,000 baht and re-entry permit for tourists to visit neighbouring countries and then return to Thailand without the need to apply for entry visa and can stay on in Thailand within the period specified in the visa.
Also, tourists who visit Thailand and then visit neighboring countries and return to Thailand will not be required to have their visas stamped at the ports of entry within a period of 30 days since they first leave the country.
