Travel to Thailand

[Sarah secord]

When can you travel to Thailand without all the papers that go with it ie covid test papers insurance paper fit to fly paper and enter Thailand permission 

[strikingsunset]

How could any of us here have any idea.

Suggest you just watch for official announcements.

Hang on, I'll just check my crystal ball and get back to you.

You're asking about the only country in world that decisions are made based on what side some minister woke up on. No one can give you an answer. Maybe 2022 or in 2h.

You can't travel here. They just want to make it look like you can. Show face, look good.  Look what we are doing  . We so good. We so smart 

[geisha]

I think plans are in the making.  Maybe visas for everyone, the insurance obligations will remain , who knows. Certainly the fit to fly certificate will be here for a good while. That’s why the authorities are taking so long to open borders to tourists in my opinion.

I saw the stipulation once again about the $100,000 medical insurance for covid to get in. What company in their right mind would write such a policy? What would the premium be? Enquiring minds... 

[Jaxxper]

No one on TV can give you an answer. I think a lot will depend on the outbreaks that might or not happen once the current list of eligible people are back, healthy and back in the community.

You could follow this topic which doesn't exactly answer your question in detail but you could ask them, or......

As / if I find out more, I shall update it (rather than reply to other topics) but they're difficult to get hold of on the phone at the moment.

Most companies cover it under Accident and Emergency, not a problem

Next life mate! lol.

[RBOP]

Sometime in the 2nd QR of 2021 my guess.

[Paul DS]

Until you have a valid vaccine!  And even then they will still want a certificate of Virus free and insurance, most likely for ever!

It won't happen overnight but it will happen.  

Just No one knows.

I still hope for october 2020 or so. My speculation is that when one country or touristic region such as Bali or Vietnam opens up, the others in the region will quickly follow not to fall back, not to let tourists and their money go their way to another destination.

 

But I confess: This is sheer hope, and it is speculation.

Yes exactly, but please get in shape by jumping through all of the hoops and obstacles we will place in your way. Mountains of paperwork, duplicate copies we will loose and say we never received as well as the brown envelope we need with your quarantine funds for a stay in a palatial estate

Considering cases are going up each month globally - I really doubt it will be this year.  even if they will pe opening up you will probably need to take a covid test 72 hours before , probably get your visa/letter at a thai embassy (highly doubt VOA will be allowed) along with other hops ...

I personally wouldn't bother.

 

There will probably be a second covid  wave in september so I really lost hope that anything can be salvaged this year in terms of tourism.

 

The relaxation happening now in Europe is dumb. We'll be again up there by september.

I am a time traveller from the year 2245 and checked our old historic records. Thailand opened up their borders for all tourists on August 14th 2021. However, hardly any tourists came because everything had been closed for more than a year and never managed to re-open. There was nothing to see or do.

By the time covid-19 has been eliminated, covid-20 will be here to take its place and the whole circus starts again.

[richard_smith237]

Oh come on... You lot are useless... 

 

Restriction free travel into Thailand will commence from September 2nd, 2020....  

Next weeks lottery numbers are 347258

I even got the time 6pm 44 min 12 sec

I am caught in my home country too.

Got myself busy with other stuff now. Do not care anymore, Thailand will not open anyway. That is what I accepted.

That's the right attitude to forestall frustration.

absolutely, manage your expectation and look on it as an opportunity, because there is nothing you can do, and for sure many are in a worse situation than you, and to mis-quote Vicomte de Valmont; it's beyond your control.
