Thailand reduces its visa-free stay limit from 60 days to 30 days for dozens of countries and territories, effective 15 September. The change applies to more than 60 destinations, including travelers from China, the United States, and European countries.
Multiple outlets report that Thailand replaces the previous 60-day visa-free scheme with a 30-day exemption. Legit.ng adds that the rules are published in Thailand’s Royal Gazette on 31 August, formalizing the change before it takes effect on 15 September. Euronews specifically highlights that EU travellers will be affected from that date, with the allowance halved.
Across the coverage, the main points are consistent: the start date is 15 September, the visa-free period becomes 30 days, and the policy covers a wide range of countries. Differences are mainly in emphasis, with some outlets focusing on the overall number of affected countries while others underline impacts for EU visitors and list examples.
