It has been in the National Saudi newspapers today that any Saudi wishing to visit Thailand should
1 Own a company.
2 Have a current running contract with a Thai company for import or export.
3 Get a permission to visit Thailand letter from the Saudi chamber of commerce
Any Saudi who doesn't meet the 3 requirements and visits Thailand for pleasure will have his passport revoked for 2 years upon the Saudi authorities discovering a Thailand entry stamp in his passport.
I know that some people will say good as Saudis are not the most popular people but no reason has been given for this action either political or otherwise. Comments please guys.
