Thailand Cuts EU Tourist Visa-Free Stay from 60 to 30 Days Citing Crime

Thailand will reduce visa-free stay for EU citizens from 60 to 30 days starting September 15, 2026, citing efforts to combat foreign crime, including sex tourism and drugs. The move marks a policy reversal from a 2024 extension and may affect tourism flows, though exceptions are planned for certain travelers. The measure signals tightening immigration controls amid broader regional security concerns.
