Popular Post webfact Posted October 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2023 THE THAI government website said today (Oct.. 20) that Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin had proposed to China during his visit there this week that negotiations be held on visa exemption for citizens of both countries, Sanook.com said. Currently Chinese passport holders may enter Thailand without the necessity of applying for a visa with this running from Sept. 25, 2023 to Feb. 29, 2023. The temporary visa waiver scheme also applies to Kazakhstan. However it is uncertain whether visa-free entry for Chinese visitors aimed at boosting tourism will be extended. According to the Thai government website, Srettha sees that boosting tourism can bring quick benefits and that is why the temporary visa waiver for Chinese citizens was implemented. by TNR Staff Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin shaking hands with Chinese President Xi Jinping before their talks yesterday.

However giving free visas to China who are slowly going broke may not solve Sretthas woes. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 If Srettha is so welcoming to non-Thais, why not clear out immigration, fire 80% of the staff poking noses, not being able to speak English and enjoying private phone calls and noodle soups during working hours? A lot of those non-Thais who left because they just had it with all this bureaucracy with TM6, TM28, TM30, TM47 and God-only-knows-what-other-TM-forms, might come back. Those retirees are guaranteed and steady income, looking after themselves and need much less human resources (which are literally impossible to find these days) than all those belching, burping and wind-breaking rude tourists from the far North! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted that, he should have asked for a bilateral agreement before giving free entries to the Chinese. Why should China reciprocate now? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
