CartagenaWarlock Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I wonder why India was not included in 30-day scheme. That will trigger lots of freelancing Indian to visit and stay Thailand for 30-days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Now speculate what the special attraction for the Kazakhstani is. Due to TAT statistics about 100'000 in the first seven months from a 19 million country with a GDP of about 10000 USD/capita. Way more travelers than from all other neighboring countries except Russia. Edited September 19, 2023 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it wasn't raised at the same time the Chinese matter was being raised... nevertheless it is now being considered... well at least some commentary on Asean Now was posted.

Exempt from stamping? How will you know how long they've been in the country? If they mean "stamped in under the visa exemption scheme", how does that make them a "special case"? Top reporting as ever. Edited September 20, 2023 by JayClay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
