Free for All! Thailand waives tourist visa fees for all nationalities

Last month we announced that, through high-season, the government decided to waive tourist visa fees and halve visa on arrival fees for visitors from 19 countries to encourage tourism.

Now, the government has extended this program to everyone, from everywhere.

From yesterday through the end of February, everyone that goes to get a single-entry tourist visa from their local Thai embassy will not have to pay anything and those opting for a visa on arrival will only need to fork over THB1,000 instead of the usual THB2,000.

Tell your friends and family to book their tickets now.

Check out the announcement here.
