The Embassy of Thailand in Sri Lanka has announced that the effective date of its new visa measures will be revealed soon. Currently, applicants can still apply for a Thai visa at the Embassy, with the standard processing time being two working days.

In a recent notice, the Embassy indicated that Thailand is finalizing new visa measures, with the start date to be announced after completing legal procedures. The new visa scheme includes three types of visas: Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), Visa Exemption (60 days), and Visa on Arrival (VoA).

Sri Lanka is among the countries benefiting from the new visa exemptions, allowing for tourism and short-term business visits for up to 60 days.
