The Thai government, aiming to boost tourism, recently announced that from December 1 to February 28, 2017, travelers to Thailand can enjoy a waiver of the 1,200 baht visa fee, but with a daily limit of 2,000 slots, leading to a mad rush among applicants. On December 9, the Thai Trade and Economic Office posted a notice stating that starting December 12, the quota will be removed and all travelers can apply for a visa fee exemption.
