📌 60-Day Thailand Visa Exemption Update:

Thailand granted 93 countries 60-day visa exemption with the option to apply for a 30-day extension - totaling 90 days to visit Thailand.

The 60-day visa exemption allows for extended stays and visits for traveler’s visits to Thailand. We see this being great for stays like a summer trip or a 90-day “test run” of expat life.
