The Ministry of Interior announced on September 30 that some foreigners will be allowed to stay in Thailand by applying for a special tourist visa, designed specifically for a stay of 90 days and which can be extended twice by 90 days.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) emphasized that Thai embassies and consulates around the world should prepare guidelines for the implementation of the Special Tourist Visa and asked them to publicize the new visa type to the public.
According to the MFA, the first requirement for the new visa application is that the applicants come from a country with a low risk of COVID-19, as categorised by the Ministry of Public Health.
Foreigners who are interested in applying for the special tourist visa can ask for more information at Thai embassies and consulates in their home country./.
