Thai Prime Minister, Srettha Thavisin has announced that Thailand and China will permanently waive visa requirements for each other’s citizens from March.
Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy, which relies heavily on tourism, in September waived entry requirements for Chinese tourists until February this year.
“This will upgrade the relationship between the two countries,” Srettha told reporters.
China’s foreign ministry said both countries were enhancing people-to-people exchanges by mutually exempting the visa requirements.
The ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, at a regular briefing said “Competent authorities of both sides are communicating closely on the matter and we are looking forward to the implementation of the relevant arrangement.”
In 2023, Thailand welcomed 28 million foreign tourists, slightly above its target, generating 1.2 trillion baht ($34.93 billion) of revenue, government data showed.
