Beginning on November 10, Thailand scrapped the need for visas for Indian visitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visa exemption permits Indian visitors a 30-day stay and will be in place until 10 May 2024. The Thai government later said the scheme could be extended if demand grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thailand Tourism Authority wants more travelers to visit Thailand. In 2022, we received around 965,994 Indian tourists; this year, for travelers from 1 January to 31 October, we received about 1,302,483 Indian tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October, Sri Lanka also introduced a visa-free initiative for travelers from 7 nations, including India, Russia, and China, as a part of a pilot project. This project begins immediately and will be effective till March 31, 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A McKinsey study released in November shows that the number of Indian travelers is set to grow significantly due to economic prosperity and increasing interest in international travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report &#8220;From India to the World&#8221; suggests that if India follows China&#8217;s outbound travel trend (which is possible given the similarity in population size and per capita income trajectory), Indian tourists could take 80 to 90 million trips annually by 2040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it is all about Vietnam could be the latest country to allow visa-free travel for Indians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, keep visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/coursementor.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Course Mentor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:- <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/nri\/visit\/vietnam-may-be-the-latest-country-to-let-indians-visit-visa-free\/articleshow\/105347667.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">economictimes.indiatimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vietnam could be the latest country to allow visa-free travel for Indians: After Sri Lanka and Thailand, Vietnam may be the next big destination to allow Indian travelers to enter without needing a visa.
