Visa application is one of uncomfortable
things that tourist will be face before they are going to travel aboard. The application
includes at least two or three documents such as passport, bank statement,
hotel address, photocopy, and so on. This causes deterring tourists from
applying visa and changing their trip.
In “Visa rules for Chinese coming to the UK to be relaxed” points out that UK will make visa application easier
to apply for Chinese visitors because the UK wants to show that it open to trade
and investment and UK businesses would be appreciate at this plan.
After I read this article, I
think to the agreement between Thailand and Japan three months ago that waives
visa requirement for each other visitors who have purpose of travelling. Japan
government want to boost its economy by tourism, and it think Thai people is potential
tourist due to increasing of Thai tourists in consecutive years. For Thai
people who want to travel and live in Japan not over fifteen days, they do not
need to apply a visa; they just use their passport for entering Japan. I think
this happens because Thailand and Japan have a good relationship, they think
each other is trustworthy.
Thai government is going to have
same kind of agreement with China in coming day, after visiting of China prime minister.
China is the world largest number of population, with over one billion people,
and Chinese tourists who have to go aboard are increasing every year. Simplified
visa application to Chinese tourists will be beneficial to Thailand economy and
helping Thai tourism businesses.

I think giving visa easier is a good idea to increase the country revenue. Sometimes I think why do I can go to Singapore without asking for visa but Japan. what's wrong with Thais in perspective of each country?
ReplyDeleteI also have heard that, apart from most of Asean members, there are more than 20 countries which don't require visa from Thais such as Brazil, Maldives, Russia, or South Africa. I do think purposes of this agreement are the same as you say.
ReplyDeleteWaiving gives the advantage for both the host and guest countries; on the other hand, it may cause the social problem for the host since some people move to the host country for other reason; for example, they move to work without the permit or make illegal things. I think the host country should profoundly consider before make the decision about this issue.
