Can't go now even though I have multi for Vietnam. Impossible to obtain the insurance and medical for return. My trip was just social. For folk like yourself needing to obtain your next 90 it's becoming serious. Thai government must be aware of this but are not providing people with advice. Anyway regarding this medical and insurance, why play games. Australia just imposed no entry into Au unless you are citizen or resident. Achieves same result without the rubbish.

So yes. That is what it means. You should get tested in Thailand before you go and complete your stay in Laos within 72 hours. Do you know this from experience?

Miami007 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 A little late but pretty much what most countries in Europe, Middle East and North America are doing - we don't need a piece of paper to return to the USA but would have to self quarantine It's a completely different story whether these measures will make an impact as the virus by now is established in the countries anyway. No need to ban foreign citizens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No certificate, no visa. Talked to the embassy here in Canada about getting home to my wife in Thailand. They told me I needed the 100,000$US travel insurance (which no-one is selling here, now), and I need to be tested for COVID-19 and show negative within 48 hours of departure (right now there's a 4/5 day wait for results non urgent results). No insurance, no visa. No medical certificate, you'll be turned away at Suwannaphum. So now I don't know when I'll see my wife again. ???????????? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Cigna coverage is fine, in fact they just sent me an advisory mail telling me I was covered. we are talking about travel insurance not health insurance - people with current policies are generally fine but if someone goes to get new travel insurance for a holiday generally it is excluded so we are talking about two different thing my friend ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xvend Posted March 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2020 I think many are missing the point. The new requirements effectively block all visitors to Thailand. Exactly what the government intends. They know it's impossible to meet the requirements. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingOrders Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Quite honestly, we know that Governments can grind the world to a total halt, and they have. Fair enough, I wonder if they can judge when to turn it back on? Tourism is now zero. Trade shipments are curtailed. And its very bad. What are the parameters to start back up? that is what I want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 why don't they just man up and close the borders until this thing is under control - nobody wants to come here for a holiday anyway as once here you are in the lap of the dogs and could very well end up stranded I now have 4 friends due here on holiday over the next 3 weeks and they have all cancelled, 2 that just arrived are now wishing they had cancelled and are trying to cut their holiday short and go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phkauf Posted March 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2020 Forget the details of what is required, they set the bar so high as to make it impossible. All this does is put the responsibility on someone else (the individual and airlines) so they can save face and say we didn't place a travel ban. So when this mess is over, you can bet TAT will announce Thailand NEVER had a travel ban unlike all the other countries, please come to visit us and not those bad guys. Similar to how Thailand claims it was never colonized, but in reality every time they were confronted they just gave up land and other things (according to my Vietnamese friend it was their women). 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
