Thailand Ends 60-Day Visa-Free Entry for Indians, Citing 'Quality Tourist' Focus
Mubarak ho bhai, baaki duniya mein toh muh kaala ho hi gaya tha, ab Thailand ne bhi Indians ko laat maar di. Toh yaar hua kya hai ki ab tak agar aapko Thailand jaana hota toh Indians ke liye ekdum visa free tha. Koi application ya fees nahi deni, bas ticket karao aur 60 din tak aaram se ghumo. Lekin ab Thailand mein ek naya system aa gaya hai jismein actually yeh 60 days ka visa free toh sabhi deshon ke liye hatt gaya hai. Aur mainly teen naye system hue hain jinmein in countries ke liye 30 days, inke liye 15 days visa free hoga. Aur last hai visa on arrival jismein visa ki fees lagegi. Aur Thailand ne Indians ko 15 din ka visa free dene layak nahi samjha. Reason yeh hai ki bhai quality tourist chahiye aur hum Indians ka civic sense jaisa hai na, main galat bhi nahi kahunga. Socho Indians third number pe aate hain Thailand ke tourism mein, fir bhi itni buri halat kar di ki unhe visa karna pad gaya. Sadak pe kutton ki tarah nachne lagenge, har jagah kalesh kaatenge aur bhai sahab pata nahi loud hone se humein kya obsession hai. Har jagah literally yahi haal kar rakha hai. Abhi pichhle hi mahine mein Kazakhstan mein tha, saare bade clubs mein Indians ki entry ban hai. Jo Indians waha reh rahe hain na, woh khud ko Indians batate hi nahi hain. Keh rahe bhaiya beizzati hoti hai, koi poocheta bhi hai na toh hum Azerbaijan, Sri Lankan, kuch bhi bata dete hain. Toh badhai, ab ghumo Goa ke sade hue beaches pe, hamari harkatein achhi jagah deserve hi nahi karti.

Breakdown
Policy Change Details The claim accurately states that Thailand has ended its 60-day visa-free entry for Indian citizens [1]. The country is indeed implementing new visa policies, which include options for shorter stays and visa on arrival with associated fees [1][3].
Thai authorities have cited reasons such as security concerns, illegal employment, and misuse of visas for these changes [1][5][8]. Nuances in Visa Options and Reasons However, the claim's specifics regarding the new visa-free durations for Indians are not entirely consistent across the provided sources.
While some sources suggest a reduction to 30 days for many countries including India [3][5][6], others indicate a shift to Visa on Arrival with a 15-day stay for Indians [1]. There is also mention of a temporary 30-day visa-free period for Indians that was set to expire in November 2024 [4].
The claim's assertion about specific disruptive behaviors like 'dancing like dogs on the street' as the primary reason for the policy change is not directly and fully supported by the provided references, although general concerns about 'bad behavior' and 'national security' are mentioned [6]. Unsupported Claims The parts of the claim concerning Indians being banned from major clubs in Kazakhstan and avoiding identifying themselves as Indian in Kazakhstan are not present in the provided web context and are therefore unsubstantiated by the given references.
