Thailand has approved visa-free entry for a 30-day period to Maldivian tourists with effect from April 14, the Maldives foreign ministry announced Saturday.
Maldivians are presently required to apply for 30-day visas with an MVR1,000 (US$65) fee to the Thai consulate in Malé.
Thailand is among the top five destinations for Maldivians to travel for vacation, business or medical purposes, according to an annual survey by the central bank.
Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid discussed formalising the visa waiver arrangement with the head of the Thailand delegation at the UN Conference on South-South Cooperation in Argentina last week.
