Dave8237 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Firstly I will appolgise if this has been answered many times ( I've been off the site for nearly 3 years, and stuck in the UK) Going to visit my wife in Issan , in October (it was easier for her to come to UK for 6 months last year). so this is what i understand, after getting my flight re booked after it was cancelled 2 times in 2020, TM6 not required (recommended if you are doing anything with immigration), no travel insurance ( but again recommended) and show proof of vaccination. so the question is does immigration accept the UK NHS Covid 19 travel pass app from your phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are we back to the pre-covid scenario where no additional paperwork, insurance, etc is required if you're passport country is on the visa exempt list?

It would be illogical if it was no longer accepted. A printout will be necessary in case your phone battery dies. TAT states the current rules as: "Upon arriving in Thailand, all travellers must undergo entry screening including body temperature check, and present the required documents to the Immigration/Health Control officer to carry out the checks. The vaccinated travellers will then be allowed entry and are free to go anywhere in the kingdom. *For arrivals by land using a border pass, they will be allowed a stay of no longer than 3 days within the specified areas only." It is specifically mentioned that the insurance requirement has been lifted. You should check the TAT website as the most up-to-date source.

So are we back to the pre-covid scenario where no additional paperwork, insurance, etc is required if you're passport country is on the visa exempt list? Last two times I have entered Thailand at Suvarnabumi airport (last week and 2 months before) there were no additional checks upon arrival in Bangkok beyond the standard Immigration. There were no MOPH checks, no checks for vaccination status etc - on ARRIVAL. BUT... there is still a requirement to be vaccinated or take an ATK on arrival. (Qatar Airways at check in Last week didn’t know about the ATK part, and were expecting everyone to show proof of vaccination, I told them the were mistaken, but they said they were following IATA guidelines)... My Vaccination status was required at the point of departure when travelling to Thailand at both check in and while boarding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use the old warning "I'm coming back, lock up the women and children", but it's probably not PC enough for current times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
