Thailand, Malaysia, and Kenya Waive Visa Requirements for Indian Travelers
In a game-changing move for Indian tourists, Thailand, Malaysia, and Kenya have announced visa waiver programs for travelers from India. These new policies are expected to boost tourism in these countries and provide Indian visitors with easier access to some of the world’s most popular destinations.
Thailand’s visa-free travel program for Indian and Taiwanese visitors will be in effect until May 2024. Visitors from these countries will be allowed to spend 30 days in Thailand without a visa. India ranks fourth in the number of tourists visiting Thailand, with 1.2 million people traveling to the country this year alone.
Following in Thailand’s footsteps, Malaysia announced that starting December 1, tourists from India will be allowed to stay for 30 days without a visa. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated that only security screening would be sufficient for Indian and Chinese travelers. This move is part of Malaysia’s efforts to achieve better growth in the tourism sector.
In a surprising twist, Kenya has also waived its visa requirements for travelers from all around the world. President William Ruto announced that the new policy will come into effect in January, allowing visitors to enter Kenya without the need for a visa. Foreigners will be able to use a new digital platform to secure entry into the country. This decision is anticipated to lead to a significant increase in the number of tourists visiting Kenya, home to famous wildlife sanctuaries such as the Maasai Mara, Ambosali, and Savo.
These new visa waiver programs are poised to make travel easier and more accessible for Indian tourists looking to explore the diverse landscapes and cultures of Thailand, Malaysia, and Kenya. As countries around the world continue to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, these initiatives aim to jumpstart the tourism industry and revitalize international travel.
