arfandy Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Is every requirement regarding entry to Thailand by air (for ASEAN) back to pre-covid time? I had 2x sinovac vaccines and vaccine card issued by hospital in Bangkok last year 2021. I dont know if it is still valid to enter the airport without having to show 48-hour pre-test PCR result as per today? Do i still need to apply for normal 30-day tourist visa from embassy?

ubonjoe Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Info for entry requirements follow. Your 2 does of vaccine will be accepted. A tourist visa you apply for at a embassy or consulate allows a 60 day stay that can be extended for 30 days. You can enter without a visa and get a 30 day visa exempt entry that can be extended for 30 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would like to know if booster shots are required for those over 60 yrs. of age. I read that a Malaysian woman was denied entry because she did not have a booster.

Boosters are not required (but are a good idea). This page provides the details on vaccination requirements: https://www.tatnews.org/2022/06/covid-19-vaccine-guide-for-travellers-to-thailand/ Your record of two vaccinations inside Thailand will be acceptable.

This from the bottom of the image (click the image to enlarge it). Thailand does not require booster shots for entry to the country at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohinga Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Okay, thanks for that. It was in a Malaysian newspaper last month that I read about that incident. Pretty sure it was a land border crossing; so it may have just been on a whim of the immigration officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphasia Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Sorry to pop up in this thread but is there any limit of entries on visa exempt by air? I used to have 1 year multi non O based on my Thai child before but the last one expired during Covid period. I am working in Vietnam now and coming back very often to Thailand since the travel become easier. I usually come now back to Thailand every 2 weeks for a long weekend. Only by plane as they are direct HCM-Phuket now. I have not been asked anything yet by the immigration. Only 2 times they can see on their system that i used to have a Non O visa and said they can't find a new visa on my passport now. And i believe they see all the visa exempt stamps already. I won't mind to apply for a proper visa but i don't have much time and the visa section of the Thai consulate in HCM is only by appointment now and i understood they are not issuing multi entry visa. I could of course apply for a single Non O (I am over 50) but i would need enough time in Thailand to get the 1 year extension with multi entries re-entry... Any advise?

If you are going to Malaysia 3 doses is considered vaccinated. Most other countries in the world two doses is considered vaccinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your travel pattern, only staying a weekend, you should not have an issue. Having said that the oil and gas workers were (not all) using visa exempt entry. Perfect for one month in one out. Immigration started to suggest they should have marriage extensions if married. Similarly it may be suggested to you are some point. Can't imagine refused entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best option is retirement visa as i am over 50 and have the financial riquerement. My son is 23 years old now so might be to complicated. I am divorced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume most people would check to see what is required to enter the country they are traveling to. Malaysia does have some stringent requirements for entry.
