Thailand eases visa rules to allow longer stays for tourists, students

Beginning in June, travellers from as many as 93 countries will be eligible travellers to stay in Thailand for up to 60 days, an increase from the current list of 57 nations, according to the government. The government's strategy includes extending stay limits for on-arrival visas from 30 days to 60 days. The measure is aimed at promoting the tourism sector which is a key growth driver of Thailand's economy and a major source of employment.
