According to Thai media reports, on January 2, Thai Prime Minister and Finance Minister Saitha revealed in an interview with the media after the cabinet meeting that day: The Thai government has implemented a visa-free policy for China in 2023 to attract tourists from the country. This policy will Expires February 29, 2024.



Saita said that the Thai government has always been committed to improving the influence of the Thai passport, and the best result is that the two sides (China and Thailand) are visa-free for each other.



He added that since last month, China has implemented a temporary visa-free policy for five countries, which does not include Thailand, but the real reason is that it was negotiating a permanent visa-free policy at that time.

Now, China will permanently exempt Thailand from visas starting from March 1 this year, which means that no visa is required to travel between the two countries. This move has enhanced the relationship between the two parties and increased the importance of the Thai passport in terms of people's travel needs.



In addition, Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Banpi said that Thais will be able to enter China visa-free. This policy will take effect on March 1, 2024. It is also an order issued by Prime Minister Saitha since the end of last year.
