The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) confirmed this decision, with officials at the Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi acknowledging that the visa-free entry policy has been extended indefinitely.
Visa-free travel offers significant benefits, simplifying entry procedures for travellers and bolstering the host country’s economy. Key impacts include:
- Increased tourism revenue: Higher demand for accommodations and tourism-related services like dining, tours, and local transportation.
- Job creation: The tourism sector gains from the uptick in demand, providing jobs and economic benefits in local communities.
