Can I travel to Thailand now?

Yes. Thailand has now fully reopened for tourism, and effective 1 July 2022, travellers, including Thai nationals and foreigners, are NO longer required to register for the Thailand Pass scheme.

Thailand Pass: Everything You Need to Know About Thailand’s Entry Registration System

General tourists are not required to apply for a Thai visa. Visitors from countries under the visa exemption list are not required to obtain a Thai visa in order to travel to Thailand for tourism purposes.

The Thai Immigration Bureau will allow foreigners to stay in Thailand for 30 days. Tourists will have the option to apply for 30 days visa extension at any local immigration office in Thailand. The visa extension due to COVID-19 is valid for 60 days.

From 1 July 2022, travellers are only required to present either a certificate of vaccination, a negative PCR test or a professional ATK test result within 72 hours of travel. Thailand’s airport authorities will also conduct random checks on arriving passengers at international airports and land border checkpoints (in 22 provinces).

Travellers have simply been categorised under the two new schemes as follows:

Vaccinated travellers

Pre-arrival requirements

Vaccinated travellers must have the following documents for entering Thailand:

A valid passport, or a border pass for arrivals via border checkpoints.
A Certificate of COVID-19 Vaccination
- Everyone 18 years of age and older must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 with an approved vaccine at least 14 days before travelling to Thailand.
- Travellers 5-17 years of age travelling to Thailand unaccompanied must get vaccinated with at least 1 dose of an approved vaccine at least 14 days before travelling to Thailand. Those travelling with parents are exempt from this requirement.

On-arrival requirements

Upon arrival in Thailand, all travellers must undergo entry screening including a 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.

Please note that 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.

During the stay

While in Thailand, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, or not fully vaccinated travellers are advised by authorities to strictly follow the health and safety standards. Travellers who are experiencing COVID-like symptoms should get tested. If testing positive, they must get the appropriate medical treatment.

Unvaccinated travellers

Pre-arrival requirements

Unvaccinated/not fully vaccinated travellers must have the following documents for entering Thailand:

A valid passport, or a border pass for arrivals via border checkpoints.

On-arrival requirements

Upon arriving in Thailand, all travellers must undergo entry screening including a body temperature check, and present the required documents to the Immigration/Health Control officer to carry out the checks.

Unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated travellers who have proof of a negative result from an RT-PCR test or professional ATK within 72 hours of travel will be allowed entry and are free to go anywhere in the kingdom.

The unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated travellers without a negative test result within 72 hours of travel are required to follow the public health instructions and guidelines as deemed appropriate by the Health Control officer at the point of arrival.

Please note that all expenses incurred will be the responsibility of the travellers.
