Effective March 1, 2024, Thailand and China signed a mutual visa exemption agreement, permitting holders of ordinary Chinese and Thai passports to enter, exit, or transit each other’s territory for stays of up to 30 days for tourism or business. Cumulative stays must not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period.
Separately, Thailand has extended the 30-day tourist visa waiver for nationals of Kazakhstan until August 31, 2024. A Memorandum of Understanding is expected to be signed in April to make the visa waiver permanent.
