Pretty simple question. Sorry if it has been asked, but I did search before posting and didn't see a clear answer.
I am planning to fly back to the US to visit and return, which is easy for me as I have a PE visa, proper Thai health insurance, vaccinated, etc.
However, my friend wants to fly back with me under the new Nov 1 /Thailand Pass/1 night quarantine entry.
Can he enter on a 30 day visa exemption (+30 day extension), or is that not available at the moment?
He would, of course, obtain all the other requirements, like health insurance, vaccine, etc.
Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the entry conditions for a friend planning to travel back to Thailand under the new Thailand Pass rules. Comments confirm that it is possible for the friend to enter Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption and to apply for a 30-day extension based on tourism. An alternative option is to secure a tourist visa that provides a longer stay.
