Thailand targets tourism boost with longer stays for visitors, students, 'digital nomads'
BANGKOK, May 28 (Reuters) - Thailand's government said on Tuesday it had approved longer visa stay periods for tourists, postgraduate students and remote workers, and better visa conditions for retirees, in a move to boost its crucial tourism sector as its economy stutters.
Starting in June, Thailand will allow travelers from 93 countries to stay for periods of 60 days, up from the current 57 nations, while more will also be eligible for visas on arrival, government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke told reporters.
The Foreign Ministry said the number of countries eligible for visa-free entry would increase from 57 to 93. The 36 new countries included Cambodia, China, India, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Laos, Mexico, Morocco and Uzbekistan.
Visitors' stays under this scheme were also extended to 60 days, the government spokesman said.
