What happened
Thailand's cabinet has signaled a proposal to limit visa-free entries to just two within a calendar year for most nationalities. This change is not yet officially in place and will take effect 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette. The move aims to prevent 'visa runs' to the Cambodian border but has raised concerns for travelers who use Bangkok as a base for regional travel. Currently, visa-free stays are typically 30 days, and limiting entries rather than days spent could significantly impact frequent flyers who make multiple short trips. The proposal is still under review and subject to potential correction
