This means that other tourist visas, such as e-Visa and visa-on-arrival, apart from the new TR and STV visa will still be on hold for now. This move thwarted the hopes of a turnaround in the tourism industry for the 2020/2021 high season.
“The country will continue opening to businessmen, technical experts, high-level workers and those in the medical field for now. 14-day quarantine will continue for now with many countries still in the grip of the pandemic,” Pipat said.
