India Offers Thailand Free 30-Day Double-Entry e-Tourist Visa Until 2027
India has introduced a new visa-fee waiver allowing Thai nationals to obtain a 30-day double-entry e-Tourist visa free of charge, creating easier travel opportunities between the two countries. The arrangement, announced by the Embassy of India in Bangkok, will remain valid until 31 December 2027 or until further government instructions are issued. The move is expected to support tourism growth, strengthen bilateral ties and encourage more Thai visitors to explore India’s cultural, historical and natural attractions. Travelalerts
The new measure provides a financial benefit for Thai travellers planning short visits to India, while maintaining the existing requirement for an approved electronic visa before arrival. Under the updated arrangement, eligible Thai passport holders can apply online for a 30-day e-Tourist visa with double-entry permission without paying the standard visa fee.
