Fees for 45 day Thai tourism visas will be waived again from April 1 as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs extends the tourism stimulus package. However as the current scheme expires tomorrow, Friday March 5th, people planning on applying for a 45 day tourist visa for Thailand in the near future would do well to wait about 3 weeks.
The Phuket Gazette reports that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok will be extending the tourism stimulus plan, waiving visa fees, for another year from April 1 2010. The current scheme finishes tomorrow, Friday March 5th.
Less than one month after Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed Thaivisa.com that the free tourist visa scheme would end on March 5, 2010, the Thai Government has announced that the tourism stimulus package will continue for another year, along with US$10,000 worth of free riot insurance for tourists.
The extension will be effective from April 1, 2010 and go through to March 31, 2011 and appears to leave a three and a half week window in which tourist visas for Thailand will be charged for.
