The Kingdom will extend the time of visa-free period for Russian citizens to 45 days.
According to ATOR, Russians will have the opportunity to stay longer in the country of smiles without a visa.
On August 19, the local government adopted a resolution to increase the length of stay for Russian travelers. Previously, it was 30 days. Now it has been extended to 45 days and will be valid from 1.10.2022 to 31.03.2023.
Citizens of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are also waiting for good news. Instead of 15 days, they will be able to freely stay in the territory of the country for 30 days.
At the time of arrival, you will need to have a vaccination certificate or a negative result of a PCR test for covid. The test must be taken 72 hours before the trip or earlier.
You can get to Thailand from Istanbul, Dubai, Delhi or Doha. Direct flights from Russia will soon resume. As expected, they will start at the end of October. The air company is supposed to be Aeroflot.
Nevertheless, some experts believe that the new measures will not have a significant impact on the number of tourists from the Russian Federation. Most of our compatriots visit Thailand for up to 2 weeks.
But an increase in the number of cities for departure and the creation of direct flights could significantly increase interest in this region.
