BANGKOK — Thailand and China agreed to waive visa requirements for each other’s nationals to facilitate travel and tourism between the two countries, Thai Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara said on Sunday.
The mutual visa exemption takes effect on March 1. Passport holders from both countries will be able to enter and stay for up to 30 days without visas. The exemption will take effect after the Lunar New Year holiday in February, a peak period for outbound Chinese travel, but in time for Thailand’s Songkran festival in April.
