I have a Burmese passport. I've heard that citizens of our country will no longer need a visa to enter Thailand. When will this new regulation come into effect, and how many days can we stay in Thailand without a visa?

Citizens of Myanmar can now travel to Thailand visa-free for up to 14 days if they arrive by air. The corresponding agreement came into effect on August 11, 2015, and also grants Thai nationals visa exemption for a stay of up to 14 days in Myanmar. Currently, 23 airports in Thailand are available for scheduled flights. However, the same regulations still apply at all land borders and immigration checkpoints: Myanmar citizens still require a visa if they enter Thailand by land from a neighboring country.
