Earlier this year, the Royal Thai Government extended its Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme for Indian and Taiwanese nationals from 11 May 2024 to 10 November 2024. Recently, the country announced a further extension of this scheme indefinitely, which means Indians can enjoy visa-free travel to Thailand till further notice. This holiday season would be a good time to take advantage of the facility. Earlier, Indians required a visa-on-arrival to travel to Thailand, which allowed them a stay of up to 15 days. The visa-free entry allowed Indians to stay in Thailand for up to 30 days. That limit has now been extended to 60 days. Details here.

Indian citizens travelling to Vietnam require a valid visa to enter the country. Indians can apply for an e-visa online, which will be processed within 5-30 working days after the immigration department receives the completed application along with the visa fee, which is currently priced between Rs.2,111 and Rs.4,223. The e-visa is valid for a maximum of 90 days, after which an extension can be granted, but only from within Vietnam. Details here.
