problemfarang Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi, i read somewhere (cannot find now where) that if you are out of thailand (for visit home country or else) and coming back to thailand, if you have a work permit and non-b visa and if you have social security number (thai government insurance -that white small paper-) provided from your work you DONT need to make any covid insurance when entering to thailand. is it true? Also i couldnt find anything about non-b and work permit holders or maybe i missed it in this forum. Can someone provide what we need to enter thailand if we have non-b and work permit. Im planning to visit my country for 2 weeks in April or May. And i dont want any surprises when coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 You will need to apply for a plastic social fund card at your local social fund office. This is to ensure your social fund payments are up to date. They are valid for 2 years from date of issue. They cost 10 baht and take 1-2 months processing time. They are posted to your employer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory it was my original passport and original work permit, a copy of my passport, a copy of my work permit and an authority letter for the admin staff who went to the social fund office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 @problemfarang I haven't heard of anyone using their social fund cards to apply for a ThaiPass. If you do this perhaps you could start a separate topic to keep others in the same situation up to date. I don't wish this upon you at all, but I am wondering what happens to someone with this card who tests positive on day 1 or day 5. I really hope nobody has to find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thedemon Posted February 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2022 You don't need a physical card (which are no longer routinely issued) to apply for Thailand Pass. Go to: https://ssoconnect.mywallet.co/ and enter your SS number and mobile phone number. If you don't already have a wallet app on your phone then just follow the instructions on the above site to install. You should then see a screen like this; Take a screenshot of that and upload that as your proof of insurance for Thailand Pass. I know it works because I have done it and there were no issues. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that having SS coverage might well be a big advantage. I would outright refuse to pay for any private quarantine on the basis that I am already covered in exactly the same way as a Thai citizen likely would. It is the hospital doctors that make the decision whether or not to allow home isolation and once they realise there isn't a satang to be earned from detaining you the chances are very good they will allow you to go home. Of course that is assuming you had no or only mild symptoms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 @thedemon Thanks for the details about the online SSO card. I will give that a try later. I just tried to sign up, but the website said it was doing an update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded SSO Connect app, and entered my SSO number and password that was registered on their website: https://www.sso.go.th/wpr/main/login Shows menu where I can see all payments going back decades. Doesn't show the QR code like yours, though, in any of the menus. That's on iOS. Just total paid in, along with last month payment, and icons for various health services, as well as payment details page and one where you can make payment. The settings page is all inactive. Overall, a very poorly written app. Explains 2 star rating in AppStore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
