Can a Belgian passport holder extend a visa exemption in Thailand, and what are the requirements for COVID-19 before traveling?
I am a Belgian passport holder.
Is it possible to arrive on a visa exemption (45 days)
and extend (30 days extra) at a Thai immigration office?
Do I need a negative PCR test before before boarding?
Do I need a covid covering travel insurance?
Thanks in advance.

Answer summary
A Belgian passport holder arriving in Thailand can enter on a visa exemption for 45 days, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office, as long as the arrival is by March 31st. Post April 1, only a 30-day visa exemption is granted. Currently, proof of vaccinations and possible medical insurance for COVID-19 may be required, especially if traveling to or returning from countries that require a negative PCR test.

Based on news media reports (though not "Official" yet), Thailand is expected (possibly beginning tomorrow), to reimpose some Covid-related restrictions: i. Proof of 2 Covid Vaccinations; and ii. Some kind of Covid-related Medical Insurance IF you will be returning to or traveling onwards to a country requiring a negative PCR Test. Details forthcoming, when new Policy/Rule Officially published in Royal Thai Govt. Gazette.

As long as you arrive by March 31st, you'll be stamped in for 45 days which you can extend for 30 days at your local immigration office.
If you arrive April 1 or after, you'll only receive 30 days visa exempt.
