Thailand has decided to offer a longer period of stay for visitors from the Gulf nations as part of its full reopening to tourism, Saudi media reported, citing Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Bangkok.

The embassy said the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced the stay period will be extended as of March 31 to 45 days instead of 30 to tourists from Countries eligible for visa-free entry, including Gulf Countries, and to 30 days instead of 15 for those eligible for obtaining a visa on arrival.

Saudi Arabia and Thailand last year agreed to fully restore diplomatic ties between the two countries and to exchange ambassadors for the first time in around 32 years.
