Abolish Schengen Visa for Thailand

17/07/2024

With the addition of Malta, Romania, Cyprus and Bulgaria to the visa free country list, Thailand has effectively reciprocated the Schengen country list. During the ongoing negotiation for allowing Thai citizen to visit the Schengen countries , this issue will be brought forward. Thai Citizen will be able soon to visit Malta, Romania, Cyprus and Bulgaria with no visa , because Thailand allows the citizen of those states to visit Thailand visa free, Another hurdles removed.... Well done Mr.

Sure there are some businesses that have all too loose if visas are abolished. But since France and Germany and Switzerland have formally declared to be ok with visa exemption for Thais, Italy will most likely follow........

Thailand is moving fast toward several Visa free agreements.. All countries who are accepting Thai citizen tourist without imposing a Visa, see their tourism expanding fast. Japan was the first (2004). What are you waiting for Europe?

Thailand and Australia have agreed to consider the possibility of introducing a mutual visa exemption scheme to facilitate travel and business activity between the people of both nations.

It will happen with Italy , France and Germany when the Schengen visa is abolish for Thais (same as Japan did )

Thailand saw a tourism deficit with Japan for the first time during the first half of 2023, as the number of Thais heading to Japan exceeded inbound Japanese visitors to Thailand.

Interesting. Our EU leader are so concerned about LGBT rights and reward Malaysia, a country with Islamic religious police, free access to Europe with no visa. Hope not to meet an Islamic religious policeman in holiday in Rome.....

Malaysia's Islamic religious officers broke up a large Halloween party attended by the LGBT community and arrested 20 people for cross-dressing and allegedly encouraging vice, activists said Sunday.

I wonder why..... maybe because Thais are not needing a Visa to go to Japan????. Italy would be the first chioce of Thais if our EU smart government could understand that the Schengen Visa is useless.....................

Late last month, after a period of more than two years, some good news arrived at last for Thai tourists, after the main Asian outbound markets -- Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan -- announced the full reopening of their borders.
