Thailand is looking to draw in more foreign visitors to begin planning to travel to Thailand as the new inclusion of an additional 15-day extension for on-arrival tourist visas will hopefully help to counter-balance the mandatory 14-day requirement for quarantine. However, despite this announcement of extension people who do not already possess a previously issued visa may not be legible for this on-arrival tourist visa as the country is still under its lockdown until 2021.
For those tourists who do possess their issued visas, this is good news, as the 15-day extension will help to make up for the loss of time and already 56 countries have been approved for this visa-extension while more is being planned to be implemented in order to help counter-balance the previous 7-month long quarantine that has left the tourism sector in shambles. But, it is still advised to always check, double-check and triple-check with Thai embassies before making plans.
