Thailand expects to welcome a record 2.7 million Indian visitors in 2027, following its decision to grant 30-day visa-free entry to Indian passport holders. The move, approved by the Thai Cabinet and awaiting publication in the Royal Gazette, is projected to lift arrivals from an estimated 2.55 million in 2026. Tourism authorities are also banking on expanded air connectivity from Tier II and Tier III Indian cities to sustain demand. The policy is expected to stimulate leisure, group and FIT bookings while reducing documentation barriers, creating fresh opportunities to package Thailand holidays for India’s fast-growing outbound market.
