India Waives Visa Fee for Thai Nationals Until December 2027
India has waived the visa fee for Thai nationals applying for a 30-day, double-entry e-Tourist visa valid until December 31, 2027. Thai travellers must still apply online and obtain approval before visiting. Meanwhile, Indian tourists continue to enjoy visa-free entry to Thailand for stays up to 30 days, with longer stays requiring an e-visa. This reciprocal arrangement aims to facilitate tourism and strengthen ties between the two countries.
