Thais have canceled visitor visa of all Indians.They cancelled only 3 nationalities from entering visa free and must obtain visa on arrival — Serbia, Somalia and India .
They said they want to promote “quality over quantity” of tourists.
Indians must do a self introspection at this immense insult — do a deep soul search.
A tiny country known primarily (in the west) for prostitution and lady boys is calling you “low quality”. Putting you in same league as Somalis.
WTF 😳 is going on folks. This is Pearl Harbor moment for Indians.

Thailand has ended the 60-day visa-free entry scheme that applied to 93 countries, including India. Most nationalities now get 30 days visa-free instead. India (along with Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Serbia) has been moved to the Visa on Arrival category, which allows a 15-day stay with a fee of about 2,000 baht. This is not a full cancellation of visitor visas for Indians. They can still enter Thailand but must go through the visa-on-arrival process at the airport or border instead of getting automatic visa-free entry. The government says the changes aim to promote “quality over quantity” tourism, reduce overstays, illegal work, and related issues.
Thailand Scraps 60-Day Visa-Free Stay For Indians, Can Visit Via Visa On Arrival
Thailand is now looking beyond visitor numbers and placing greater emphasis on attracting “quality tourists”.
Thailand, one of the most visited destinations for Indian travellers, has introduced a significant change to its entry rules, impacting how tourists plan their trips. The country has cancelled its widely used 60-day visa-free scheme for all 93 countries and territories, including India, as part of a broader effort to simplify and reorganise visa categories.
The revised framework, approved by Thailand’s Cabinet, shifts the focus towards more streamlined entry processes and clearer regulations. For Indian travellers in particular, the change marks a notable shift, especially after the relatively recent introduction of extended visa-free stays in July 2024.
