The Thai Foreign Ministry today downplayed reports suggesting that Japan may consider cancelling visa-free privileges for Thai tourists, due to an increase in the number of Thais overstaying their visas.

 

Deputy Foreign Minister Jakkaphong Sangmanee said that it is normal for Japan to review the programme periodically, to enhance its effectiveness, adding “Thailand also reviews its visa privileges granted to other countries every three years.”

Nothing beats being pro-active and on-the-ball.

Wow. Even when you are told the truth, you still come up with excuses. We all probably know a few people working there that may have stayed a little longer than their visa limit.
