Thailand has announced a new policy that will waive some visa fees and cuts visa-on-arrival costs for tourists from 18 countries (Ukraine is enlisted too) for a period of three months.
Tourists from Andorra, Bulgaria, Bhutan, China, Cyprus, Ethiopia, India, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Romania, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan will not be required to pay the 1,000 baht (US$28) fee for visas sought at Thai embassies and consulates in the period from December 1, 2016 until February 28, 2017.
Also, a 2,000 baht fee for visas on arrival will be cut to 1,000 baht.
The fee reduction is primarily intended to attract more visitors to Thailand during the period and increase earnings related to tourism.
