Kazakhstan citizens are granted visa-free stays in Thailand for up to 60 days
The Tourism Authority of Thailand included Kazakhstan among countries now eligible for more extended visa-free stays in Thailand. Under the updated rules, Kazakh citizens and nationals of 92 other countries and territories can enjoy visa-free travel to Thailand for up to 60 days, up from the previous 30-day limit. This stay can be extended by 30 days at local immigration offices.
Thailand has introduced the Destination Thai Visa (DTV), tailored for remote workers, digital nomads, freelancers, and participants in activities like Muay Thai courses, Thai cooking classes, sports training, medical treatments, seminars, and music festivals. The DTV also includes benefits for spouses and dependent children of visa holders.
These visa changes are part of Thailand's strategy to revive its economy by attracting more international visitors, including those from Kazakhstan, and encouraging longer stays.
During a visit to Thailand in April, Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu signed an agreement exempting nationals of both countries from visa requirements. Nurtleu also held discussions with leaders of major Thai companies in Bangkok to explore opportunities for investment, trade, and economic collaboration.(Source:astanatimes)
