COVID Vaccination always required when coming to Thailand?

[Such a Hairy Guy]

Hello, we have friends in Myanmar who are thinking about leaving (temporarily at least) to come to Thailand to wait out for a few months to see if things will change - hopefully for the better. They are not Myanmar nationals.

 

However, currently extremely unlikely they can get a vaccine before leaving as things are at a standstill.

 

Is there any chances they could come to Thailand without being vaccinated first? They are willing to do the quarantine of course.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thailand has currently no compulsory requirement for the nationals of any country to be vaccinated against Covid-19 prior to entry into Thailand.

Nope, a Covid-19 vaccination is not required. 

 

IF you have a Covid-19 vaccination - the quarantine period is 7 days.

IF you DON'T have a Covid-19 vaccination* - the quarantine period is 10 days.

 

 

*and are not coming from a country which the MOPH has announced as being at additional risk of having a high incidence of variant strains - currently African nations (nothing racist there by the Thai government / MOPH).

I have American friends there that were teaching. The wife is Thai. I hope they get out as well. Good luck to your friends. Might be the same people. Regardless, I hope everyone is safe. Sounds like a horrible situation over there right now.
