Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 All visitors to Thailand require medical certificate, insurance and monitoring system BANGKOK(NNT)-The government has announced that citizens of and those arriving from South Korea, Italy, Iran, as well as China and two of its territories Macau and Hong Kong, are to experience the kingdom’s most stringent screening. Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam announced that the government has stepped up its measures to screen all incoming passengers, while placing major emphasis on those arriving from the listed high-risk nations. The new measure requires all nationalities arriving in the kingdom to show a medical certificate, issued no more than three days prior to their arrival, have purchased an insurance plan for COVID-19 and giving consent to allow authorities to install a monitoring application on their smart phone. Earlier, the kingdom temporarily revoked visa free entry for ‘high-risk’ countries, namely South Korea, Italy and Hong Kong, as well as canceling eligibility for visa-on-arrival of another 18 countries. Those needing to visit the kingdom during this time will require a visa issued by a Thai Embassy abroad. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-03-17 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroveHillWanderer Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I don't see any change on the Ministry of Public Health website from the announcement they made two days ago. It still says that only those people coming from Disease Infected Zones need a certificate and health insurance. Passengers from other countries still don't need these things, at least according to the MoPH site. MOPH coronavirus page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Consent to keep the phone functioning as identified at the airport, and to allow the app to remain in place," is a much different English sentence.

NO insurance company, inside or outside Thailand is doing that, declared pandemic or any other''known" cause = nil cover Health certificate ... best of luck getting one from anywhere ... this is all theatre, there'll be a new show by Friday. health insurance covers it - pacific cross confirmed for me on friday cost of testing and treatment 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link to that? Smart traveller site doesn't say that at all. They do recommend returning soon if you choose to as commercial options (flights etc) may be harder to get soon, but there is no mention of shutting any border.

Many have banned Thai citizens outright - this includes Israel, Bahrain and Qatar. Malaysia has banned everyone for 2 weeks. Actually, Thailand should just ban everyone for 2 weeks too, to get this over and done with. Every day there is a new, more stringent requirement being announced. This just keeps getting better and better. What's next, all visitors to Thailand will be quarantined for 2 weeks at a military facility? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to cross check between what's in the news, your government's advice and IATA's country database. Requirements are changing daily.
