政策急轉彎 60天免簽恐曇花一現
據泰國媒體報導,觀光與體育部長提議,取消去年7月才實施的60天免簽優惠,全面恢復至舊制的30天。這意味著僅實施約一年的便利措施可能告終。部長表示,縮緊政策是為防止免簽被濫用於非法工作等行為,並強化入境管控。未來免簽名單也將大幅精簡,新增國家會從嚴審核。

社論痛批「頭痛醫頭」
《曼谷郵報》社論強烈質疑此政策方向,指出非法打工等亂象根源是執法不力、數據系統混亂及貪腐,與停留天數長短無直接關係。社論警告,政府若只靠緊縮簽證來管理,卻不解決根本治理問題,只是治標不治本。
業界憂心衝擊旅遊與投資信心
社論進一步示警,頻繁變動的入境政策將嚴重打擊旅客規劃意願,並為旅遊業、房地產及服務業帶來高度不確定性。政策的可預測性是市場信心的基石,此舉可能讓投資者卻步,對疫後亟需復甦的旅遊相關產業造成二次傷害。
