Thailand to provide multiple entry visa for tourists

Xinhua, October 1, 2015 Adjust font size:

Visitors to Thailand may apply for a multiple entry tourist visa so they could come and go and come again at their own conveniences.

Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman Sek Wannamethee said on Thursday those coming to Thailand may apply for the multiple entry tourist visa and pay 5,000 baht (about 139 U.S. dollars) in fee.

Bearers of such visa may visit the Southeast Asian country several times over with each visit being allowed to last a maximum of 60 days, the spokesman said.

The multiple visa is primarily designed to help promote Thai tourism which already has become the country's largest foreign currency earner.

It will be available to all travelers including those from Thailand's neighboring states from the middle of next month. Endi
