On 1 June 2023, Mr. Asi Mamanee, Director-General of the Department of European Affairs, and H.E. Mr. David Daly, Ambassador of the European Union to Thailand, signed the Agreement between Thailand and the European Union on Thailand’s Recognition of the Laissez-Passer issued by the European Union as a Valid Travel Document. The ceremony was witnessed by H.E. Mr. Don Pramudwinai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. MFA executives, as well as representatives from the Thai authorities concerned and the Delegation of the European Union were also in attendance.

The Signing is expected to encourage more exchanges of high-level visits, facilitate EU experts’ visits to Thailand to advance cooperation in various sectors of mutual benefits, and promote the sharing of best practices and know-how. The Agreement will also benefit the operation of Thailand’s internal immigration procedures.

The Laissez-Passer Agreement represents the continued efforts of both sides to maintain the dynamism of Thailand-EU relations following the successful conclusion and signing of the Thailand-EU Comprehensive Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) in 2022 and the launch of the Thailand-EU Free Trade Agreement (Thai-EU FTA) negotiations earlier this year.
