Thailand has expanded its visa-free travel for Australians from 30 days to 60 days as part of a new tourism scheme.
The visa can be extended up to 30 days more through the Thai immigration bureau.
Ninety-three countries and territories are eligible for the new scheme, up from 57 previously.
On Monday, Thailand also announced relaxed rules for several other visa categories.
The validity of "digital nomad" visas for self-employed, remote workers will increase to five years from 60 days, with each stay limited to 180 days.
The country will also allow visiting students, who earn a bachelor's degree or higher in Thailand, to stay for one year after graduation to find a job or travel.
The changes, which came into effect on Monday, are part of the South-East Asian nation's latest efforts to boost travel and tourism.
