It also emphasized that visa fees are non-refundable under all circumstances. Additional information on the e-visa system will be provided in due course.

In 2019, more than 2 million Indian tourists visited Thailand, and post-pandemic, Indian arrivals have surged, boosting Thailand’s economy.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s administration announced a three-year suspension of interest payments for 1.9 million borrowers with loans worth $26 billion. Borrowers will also be allowed to reduce their principal payments, easing their financial burden.
