starship 24 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'm in a similar situation but have left Thailand already a couple of days ago to Malaysia. I have flight booked to return on the 9th, but view that as unlikely to happen now, as the restrictions could well be in place by or before then. I could try a land crossing tomorrow if possible, but it would be good to hear from anyone who has entered Thailand today, to clarify if they were asked to prove vaccinations etc for entry.

anymajordude 28 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The website for Thai Visa Service is pretty informative on policies at land borders and is updated frequently. So far I see nothing about requiring proof of vaccination at land borders. https://www.thaivisaservice.com/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, there is no requirement for vaccination or tests. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the news articles on this so far have specified that the restrictions are for travelers arriving by air. I haven't seen anyone addressing land borders yet.

The guy I replied to has a flight booked for the 9th back from KL, personally, I'd bring it forward if I could to avoid the hassle.

So far the news articles seem to emphasize that this new rule only affects "air passengers". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malone99 67 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 2 hours ago, Sambo5000 said: Is it safe to assume land borders will impliment same policy on 9th? It looks like immigration officers will not check the requirements, but leave that to the airlines to check documents prior to boarding. So for the moment it's just for travellers coming in by air, i guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably better to err on the side of caution. Last year they checked vaccination certificates at land borders, so it could very well happen. It might even be enforced inconsistently. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcheech 982 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) It was reported by a backpacker couple, on a facebook page. they were asked for proof of vaccine at Nongkai bridge crossing last Saturday, days before any of this was supposed to be in effect. Meanwhile Anutin has just said nevermind, hard U Turn, no proof of covid vaccinations needed. Still that might change by the end of the day, ha, LOL at LOS.
