Thailand's Tourism Authority (TAT) has announced its
plan to extend visitors' visa-free stays to boost the average length of
stay and per-trip expenditure.
The plan seeks to increase room nights by at least a million across the country, bringing in additional tourism revenue for the community's economy. At present, Thailand provides tourist visas to more than 60 nations; however, most travellers are only allowed to stay for 30 days before needing to extend their visas. Russian visitors were given a 90-day temporary visa in November, with the possibility of extended stays. Last year, more than 100,000 foreign visitors chose the 60-day visa option.
To increase tourism, TAT is in favour of
travel-friendly policies such as halting TM6 forms at border crossings between
Thailand and Malaysia and granting Kazakh nationals admission without a visa.
With 10 million long-haul arrivals or roughly 30% of the 35 million foreign
visitors, they want to surpass records this year. This is a considerable
improvement over pre-pandemic levels when long-haul arrivals comprised 23% of
arrivals and 33% of tourism earnings.
Ten million long-haul arrivals, or thirty per cent of the 35
million international visitors, are expected to set a record for TAT in this
year of travel. With long-haul travellers accounting for 23% of arrivals and 33%
of tourism revenue before the pandemic, this represents a notable rebound.
Airlines will be encouraged to launch new routes to less crowded airports
outside of Bangkok TAT to bolster the market.
