Thailand Revokes 60-Day Visa-Free Stay for 93 Countries
Thailand's Cabinet approved revoking the 60-day visa-free stay for 93 countries, expected to take effect 15 days after Royal Gazette publication.
The Thai Cabinet formally approved this revised framework on 19 May 2026. This change primarily affects frequent visitors, remote workers, retirees, business owners, and investors from the 93 countries who previously utilised the 60-day visa-free exemption. Until the new regulations are officially published in the Royal Gazette and take effect, existing entry conditions will remain applicable. Those affected may need to adjust their travel itineraries or seek an appropriate Thai visa for stays longer than the standard 30-day exemption.
