(Photo: Bangkokpost) Deputy government spokesman Kharom Polpornklang said the exemption was proposed by the Foreign Affairs Ministry, and it will take effect from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.
Visa-free entry for Japanese passport holders currently applies only to tourists, and is valid for 30 days.
According to Kharom, the measure will ensure convenience for business representatives from Japan – Thailand’s top investors and third largest trade partners.
He said that many Japanese have entered the country for business and investment talks, and to sign contracts, and the visa exemption will facilitate their entry./.
