ORIGINAL POSTEROk everyone relax! I’ve checked this and still seems factual!
However if anyone disagrees please tell me!
A person can still travel to Thailand without a visa if the stay is less than 30 days? Correct? And yes I know that would be stupid because half the time would be in quarantine.
Just want to know if it’s still correct?
Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, travelers from certain countries can enter Thailand without a visa for up to 45 days under the Visa Exemption Program, provided they meet specific conditions such as obtaining a Certificate of Entry (COE), having COVID-19 insurance, and undergoing mandatory quarantine. Travelers may also extend their stay by an additional 30 days, totaling 75 days without a visa. However, they must comply with the latest entry requirements due to COVID-19.

ORIGINAL POSTERSo after researching still confused? Does there have to be a separate policy for Covid or can the health plan include Covid coverage?

@Gene *********
doesn't have to be a separate policy but must be clearly stated that it covers Covid and med coverage of at least 100,000 usd. Reply to

I thought a requirement of the COE was having a valid visa?.

@Colin *******
no. You need a COE to enter Thailand. My Thai partner needed one. Those on visa exemption will still need a COE despite not travelling on a visa.Reply to

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks everyone! I get on the Consulte General website again! To research further! Great info! Thx!

Yes and then you can extend for another 30 days, so 75 days total without a visa. You still need the CoE, F2F, PCR, Insurance etc.

Insurance plan? Both?
Insurance plan? Both?

ORIGINAL POSTERSo although it’s not a visa sounds like you have to apply for the Visa Exemption program where in the past you just provided a passport?

Thailand has allowed foreigners to enter the kingdom by air under the Visa Exemption Program for 45 days. The foreigners must obtain certificate of entry (COE), provide COVID-19 insurance and undergo mandatory quarantine.

Even 45 days including ASQ and depending on your country

Yes the 30 days visa exempt option is available for certain countries. However, you still need to apply for COE which involves having a flight and ASQ booking along with insurance.
