Thailand Abolishes Visa to Win Chinese Tourists

Thailand's new permanent visa-free policy, effective March 1, combined with its previous decision to provide temporary visa exemptions to Chinese tourists, has created a growing appeal among Chinese tourists to explore the wonders of Thailand.

The decision to permanently lift visa requirements for Chinese citizens, announced by Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on January 2, has made Thailand one of the three most preferred destinations during the New Year holiday among Chinese tourists.
