Thai visa waiver extended
Print Edition
Thailand will extend until April next year a measure that waives fees for visas on arrival issued to tourists from 18 countries, as it looks to stimulate growth in tourism to spur a slowing economy.
The waivers are part of a US$10-billion stimulus package to boost growth, including a debt moratorium for farmers, loans for smaller businesses, and more money for low-income earners.
鈥淭he Cabinet approved the extension of fee waivers until April 2020,鈥 Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said, adding that the scheme would cover Chinese Lunar New Year and the Thai new year, Songkran.
Foreign tourist receipts make up about 12 percent of Southeast Asia鈥檚 second-largest economy, but arrivals increased just 0.89 percent in June, with visitors from China, the biggest source, declining 7.1 percent from a year earlier.
The waived fee is 2,000 baht (US$65).
