Thailand expands visas on arrival list

The Phuket News - Tuesday, 31st May 2011 10:10

The government has added six countries to the list of those whose citizens qualify for 30-day tourist visas on arrival in Thailand.

Five of the countries are former Soviet bloc states – the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. The sixth is the tiny European principality of Lichtenstein.

 

The visas-on-arrival list now totals 48 countries.

 

At overland border checkpoints, with the exception of Malaysia, the visa-on-arrival period granted is 15 days.

That article is about as clear as mud. I think it is stating that those countries have been added to the visa waiver scheme but they talk about the visa on arrival scheme.

It is clear now - starting 11.8.2011:

 

Dear all,

 

please be informed that passport holder from following countries will get 30 days-tourist visa exemption on 11th August 2011 onwards.

 

-Czech Republic

 

-Hungary

 

-Liechtenstein

 

-Poland

 

-Slovak Republic

 

-Slovenia

 

Best and kindest regards
