Reentry into Thailand in 2022 for Foreigners with NIB Work Visa, Extension of Stay Stamp, Work Permit, and Thai Social Insurance.

[guyfromtheweb2]

If a foreigner lives and works in Thailand and has job, a NIB visa extension of stay stamp for working, work permit, and Thai social insurance card, what are the rules for reentry into Thailand?  Does the foreigner still need to show proof of $50K USD or $100K USD Covid-19 health insurance, or is the Thai social insurance card enough?  What are the other requirements for reentry?  

 

This is another topic that I hear rumors about but cannot find anything official online on Thai government websites.

You do not need the Covid-19 insurance to enter the country or to apply for a Thailand Pass. You only need proof of your social security coverage. You can find lots info on the Thailand Pass website.

The problem is showing the Thai social security card to airline check-in staff at your home country airport in lieu of insurance. Social security card is written in Thai script only and airline staff cannot read the info written on the card.
