Thailand has exempted Saudi citizens from entry visas for 30 days, the Saudi Embassy in Thailand reported on Tuesday.
The embassy stated that the visa exemption period established by the Thai government was also not subject to any fees.
«The embassy would like to clarify to Saudi citizens that the government of the Kingdom of Thailand has agreed to allow Saudi citizens to enter without a visa for 30 days free of charge,» the Saudi Embassy said in its statement.
The date of implementation of the decision to allow Saudis to enter Thailand without a visa will be announced soon, the embassy added.
Citizens entering Thailand must provide proof of medical insurance in the amount of at least $20,000 through insurance offices, the embassy reported in March.
Travelers must also attach a one-day hotel booking, as well as quarantine at one of the hotels approved by the Thai Ministry of Health until receiving the result of a PCR test for COVID-19 taken no more than 72 hours before the date of arrival.
Saudi Arabia and Thailand announced in January the restoration of full diplomatic relations and a planned exchange of ambassadors after 32 years.
