In response to an observed rise in criminal activities involving foreign tourists, the government of Thailand has enforced tighter visa regulations for visitors. This policy adjustment aims to enhance oversight and security related to tourist entries.

The introduction of these stricter measures was officially reported in May 2026. The decision reflects concerns over an increase in crimes attributed specifically to foreign nationals visiting the country.
