This was posted by Thai Examiner, but lacked much detail.

 

“Thailand announces relaxed visa measures to stimulate tourism, including a 60-day visa exemption, a new “Destination Thailand” visa, permission for foreign university students who studied in Thailand to stay for a year after graduation, and changes in regulations for long-stay visas for retirees.

 

The details include:

 

- Increase the number of visa-free countries from 57 to 93, including Albania, China, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Laos, Jamaica, Romania, Sri Lanka, Panama, Mexico, Morocco, Uzbekistan, etc.

- Extend the period of visa-free stays from 30 days to 60 days.

- Expand the list of countries eligible for visa arrivals from 19 to 31.

- Extend the period of stay for digital nomads, remote workers, freelancers, Muay Thai students, Thai food students, etc., from 60 days to 180 days.

- Extend the period of stay for foreign university students to one year after graduation, allowing them to work in professions not restricted to Thais only.


These measures are expected to come into effect in June.

 

Other measures set to take effect in September include:

- Doubling the number of locations offering e-visa services from 47 embassies and consulates-general to 94.“
