Thai Cabinet approves ‘special tourist visa’ for long-staying visitors
The policy is expected to become effective after the official announcement and will be available until 30 September, 2021.
The Thai Cabinet has approved in principle a proposal by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports to grant a special tourist visa (STV) for long-staying visitors.
Under the STV scheme, long-staying visitors can stay in the country for 90 days, which can be extended twice, each for a further 90 days. The visa will cost 2,000 Baht per 90-day extension. The special visa scheme is expected to become effective after the official announcement and will be available until 30 September, 2021.
The STV will be granted to long-staying visitors who comply with Thailand’s COVID-19 control and preventive measures. They will be required to undergo a 14-day alternative local state quarantine (ALSQ) upon their arrival. They must also prove their long-term residences in Thailand; such as, hotel reservation, rental contract, or evidence of ownership of a condominium or house.
At present, the concerned authorities are preparing procedures and measures to ensure the smooth processes for all travellers.
