Thailand will shorten the visa-free stay period for Israeli tourists from 60 to 30 days. The change, which has been discussed in recent months, will take effect on September 15. Those who enter Thailand before that date will be able to stay according to the period approved for them upon entry. Additionally, the new regulations also apply to land border crossings. Under the new exemption, entry through land border crossings will be limited to twice per calendar year. Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore have been excluded from the restriction, and Israelis are not among the exceptions.
