Thailand Extends Visa-Free Policy for Indians
Thailand has made it easier for Indians to visit by extending their visa-free policy until May 2026.
This means Indians can stay in Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa.
Starting from May 2025, travellers will need to apply for a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at least three days before they arrive.
If someone wants to stay longer than 60 days, they can ask for a one-time extension of up to 30 more days.
This is great news for people who love to travel and want a last-minute getaway during the Republic Day long weekend.
