Due to the significant impact on local tourism following the passing of the Thai King, the Thai Cabinet meeting on the 22nd approved a tourism stimulus policy. It was decided that from December until February next year, visa fees will be waived for three months, and the on-arrival visa fee will be reduced from 2,000 Thai baht to 1,000 Thai baht. The discount applies to as many as 19 countries, with Taiwan also included in the list of beneficiaries.

1The national mourning period has had a significant impact on Thailand's tourism industry, with all entertainment venues closed1for months, tourist attractions closing earlier, and in addition, Thailand has strictly regulated zero-dollar tour groups in recent months, resulting in fewer mainland Chinese tourists visiting. The Thai government hopes to use visa fee waivers and reductions in on-arrival visa costs to attract tourists back.

This year’s New Year celebrations will not include fireworks, but other events will proceed as normal, and Lunar New Year activities will also take place as scheduled. Travelers are advised to take advantage of the visa fee waiver period to visit Thailand. As the daily quota is limited to 2,000 people, many travelers have been queuing up early. Those planning to visit Thailand should pay special attention to the daily limit status.
