Thailand will extend the maximum period of stay for foreign visitors between Oct. 1 and Mar. 31 to boost its tourism-dependent economy, which has been booming since the easing of border restrictions.

Taweesilp Visanuyothin, the Centre for COVID-19 situation Administration (CCSA) spokesperson, said Friday that the visa on arrival—which applies to nationals from India, China, and Saudi Arabia—will be extended from 15 to 30 days starting in October.
