Featured Replies

This global travel list is updated daily so last minute things might not show up. The IATA is the International Air Transport Association, a trade association of the world's airlines.

Anyone traveling to or from Thailand to another country should check this list and also look at any countries of connecting cities. For quarantines, some countries are not including transiting an airport and other countries are including it.

 

This is current Thailand info as of March 14:


THAILAND - published 13.03.2020
1. Passengers arriving from China (People's Rep.), Hong Kong (SAR China), Iran, Italy, Korea (Rep.) or Macao (SAR China) must have a Health Certificate as well as Lab Test COVID-19 to prove they are free from Coronavirus (COVID-19). They must be under doctor's observation 14 days before issuing date. The Health Certificate and Lab Test COVID-19 must be valid for not more than 2 days prior to departure.

- This does not apply to airline crew.

2. Passengers arriving from China (People's Rep.), Hong Kong (SAR China), Iran, Italy, Korea (Rep.) or Macao (SAR China) must have a medical insurance with coverage of 100,000 USD.

- This does not apply to nationals of Thailand.

- This does not apply to airline crew.

3. Passengers and crew members must present a completed T.8 health questionnaire to Health Control Office upon arrival.

4. Crew members not based in Thailand arriving from China (People's Rep.), Hong Kong (SAR China), Iran, Italy, Korea (Rep.) or Macao (SAR China) will be quarantined at the hotel until next departure schedule.

5. Crew members based in Thailand arriving from China (People's Rep.), Hong Kong (SAR China), Iran, Italy, Korea (Rep.) or Macao (SAR China) will be quarantined at home until next departure schedule.

6. Based on the travel advisory restriction issued by United Arab Emirates Government, nationals of United Arab Emirates are not allowed to travel to Thailand.
7. Nationals of Bulgaria, Bhutan, China (People's Rep.), Cyprus, Ethiopia, Fiji, Georgia, India, Kazakhstan, Malta, Mexico, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu and passengers with a Chinese Taipei (on the cover: Republic of China Taiwan) passport can no longer obtain a visa on arrival.

8. Nationals of Italy are no longer visa exempt.

I don't see the UK on that list but I wouldn't be surprised if it does very soon.

 

We're going to Thailand next month and in preparation, I've called 111 and my local hospital. Neither are offering tests for COVID-19 unless you are showing genuine symptoms, however Thai Immigration are more than happy to charge you 7500 baht per person for a test upon arrival.

Only 7,500 baht? I'm seen lots of people on this site claiming the hospitals are charging 10,000 baht so Immigration is 25% cheaper? That's a surprise.

6,100 for a test at Phaya Thai hospital in Bangkok.
