Why this verdict
The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi states that the 60-day visa exemption for Indian ordinary passport holders for tourism and short-term business engagements remains effective until further announcement. This corridor is deliberately marked medium confidence because Thailand's exemption policy has been actively discussed in 2026; confirm the current allowance on the Thai Embassy or Thai e-Visa site before travel.
