December 12, 20232 yr From Thai PBS World The Cabinet agreed today to exempt Japanese businessmen making business trips to Thailand, of no longer than 30 days, from requiring a visa. Deputy government spokesman Kharom Phonpornklang said that this visa exemption will come into force on January 1 and last until December 31, 2026. He said that the measure is intended to facilitate travel to Thailand by Japanese businessmen, adding that Japan has advanced technology in green industries, medical science, biology and the digital economy, among other areas, and Thailand wants Japanese investors to explore new business opportunities in Thailand.
December 13, 20232 yr That there are already 6,000 Japanese businesses operating in Thailand, the new visa measure makes a great deal of sense. The surprise is it was not enacted earlier.
December 13, 20232 yr How are they going to tell who is a businessman and who is not? More of the bureaucratic surreality like we're seeing with the 4am closing time.
December 13, 20232 yr No doubt these Japanese businessmen will all require letters from their companies to say what good chaps they are and how essential to new businesses they will be. And of course, the letters will all be in Japanese with the Thai elves and goblins in their attics (my new name coined a few posts ago which I rather like) reaching for their google translate apps.
