If you click on 'e-visa' on the official gov site you get a pop-up in the upper right corner. Currently only 30 day visas for tourists, and you must be from one of the 100+ countries with reciprocal vax agreement. If in doubt send them a mail.

"Might as well start testing at Makro, and entrance to the parks" Don't come to Thailand now , Wait until the country realize that covid is going to be here for decades , we have to learn to live with it like a flu. If Thailand want tourists the only cure is vaccinate 100% of the population and make it mandatory if necessary, only that will bring down the cases significantly until there is vaccin that can give a life long immunity. Unfortunately there is a problem here in Thailand that ignorant decision makers make up new rules on the fly, and I'm sorry to say it won't help... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadSpottedDog Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 They need to stop this already. The treasured tourists who've jumped through hoops to get here, get yet another slap in the face. If they don't believe the vaccines work to prevent spreading covid, then why are they even necessary? Are people seriously going to be subjected to the jab every 6 months, or be punished? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 What is really required, is for these Swabs to be made much, much larger , and to be inserted where the Sun dont shine into the people that dreamt up this nonsense. At least some good could come of it, as they walked along KSR, they would at least sweep the street clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
