On 12 September 2023, Thailand’s cabinet approved a visa-free policy for visitors from China and Kazakhstan, effective from 25 September 2023 to 29 February 2024.
The aim is to attract more visitors and spur spending during the year-end high season.
In addition, waiving visas for Chinese visitors will help to reach the target of 5 million Chinese tourists.
And the visa-free policy is being applied for Kazakhstan visitors because they are increasingly traveling to Thailand.
