samisaurus Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Coming back to Thailand again in November after having left Sep 2020. I'm curious what are the current entry requirements for an unvaccinated individual ? Do I need insurance/PCR/ etc? Also is it currently possible to do visa online (60 day Tourist visa) or does it still have to be done through a consulate? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TucsonDavid Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The published entry requirements and what the Immigration Officer does at the airport are two different things. A medical doctor friend of mine returned last week from 3 months in Sweden and had a difficult experience at the Suvarnabhumi airport Immigration counter. He was never asked for his vaccination record but the officer demanded that he have insurance and a recent PCR test. The front line officer and the supervisor both said the same thing, unfortunately never of them had any English speaking skills. Fortunately my friend has a Thai wife whom he called and after a 40 minute conversation he was allowed to enter Thailand. So be prepared for either a smooth entry or a difficult entry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the beginning of the statement it says that a certificate of covid 19 vaccination is required which could be interpreted as a single vaccine will suffice . Drop down a couple of paragraphs and it mentions " not fully vaccinated travellers " ( no info given ) , Also the article says that travellers aged between 5 & 17 should have had at least 1 approved vaccine more than 14 days before travelling to Thailand , so is fully vaccinated 1 , 2 or 3 vaccinations ? I do not wish to be pedantic but the details are not clear . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, and this is almost 6 weeks after the requirements for entry were dropped on July 1st. Crazy to thing how behind some departments with relation to what the official new rules are.
