British tourists flying to Spain face big 2025 change
British tourists flying to Spain face big 2025 change and must provide four pieces of 'evidence' to get in While the revised date has not yet been confirmed, it is expected to occur in 2025. Until then, tourists will still need to have their passports stamped upon arrival and departure. The Spanish government has specific entry conditions for travellers from outside the EU, including the UK. This includes being able to provide 'evidence' of meeting entry requirements when asked by border control officials. Besides a valid passport, the Foreign Office advises that visitors may be asked to show a return or onward ticket, proof of their travel insurance, a hotel booking confirmation or invitation if staying with friends or family, and evidence that you have sufficient funds for your stay, reports the Manchester Evening News. -

Thaksin Vows to Fix Thai Economy Amid Claims of Mismanagement
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath In a stirring address in Chiang Rai's Phan district, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra pledged on Wednesday to dedicate the next three years to restoring Thailand's economy. Thaksin, who remains a figure of considerable influence, albeit operating from behind the scenes, criticised the current state of economic affairs, attributing the decline to past mismanagement. He highlighted a troubling economic imbalance: while people's incomes are dwindling, commercial banks are seeing profits soar by 14% against a modest 3% GDP growth. "The economy has collapsed nationwide," Thaksin stated emphatically, drawing attention to what he perceives as a systemic failure borne out of neglected fiscal responsibilities. To put things into perspective, Thaksin compared the current economic woes to those during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Back then, the turmoil largely affected the upper tiers of the financial system. Now, he argues, the impact is widespread, affecting ordinary citizens across the country. His daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, has her hands full managing state affairs. However, Thaksin reassured his audience that he is providing strategic support to bolster the government's efforts to rejuvenate the economy. He cited his previous tenure as Prime Minister, during which Thailand enjoyed rapid economic growth and consecutive balanced budgets, contrasting it with the ongoing years of budget deficits and mounting debt. Thaksin outlined potential strategies for economic revival. Central to this is the plan to increase agricultural exports to China, which has already agreed to purchase 300,000 tonnes of cassava. This move is expected to elevate market prices, thereby providing relief to local farmers. He also touched upon the critical issue of crop prices, particularly for staples like rice and rubber. Thaksin confidently assured the public of his commitment to discovering viable methods to enhance these prices, thus offering a lifeline to farmers heavily reliant on these crops for their livelihood. With the economy at a crossroads, Thaksin's intervention, framed as a return to prosperity, is poised to be a significant test of his enduring political influence. While some may doubt the feasibility of his ambitious plans, his promises to stabilise and flourish the economy may just galvanise the support he needs from the grassroots electorate. The task ahead is monumental, but Thaksin's resolve to navigate Thailand out of its economic quagmire has rekindled hopes among many. As the situation unfolds, observers will keenly watch to see whether his bold proclamations translate into tangible results for a nation eager for financial recovery, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-01-30 -
