Do my parents-in-law need travel or COVID insurance to enter Thailand on a visa on arrival?
Hi , my parents-in-law are coming to Thailand from China on visa on arrival for 1 month . Do they need a travel/covid insurance in order to enter Thailand? The Information on the embassy website is inconclusive.
Thank you .
Thank you .
Answer summary
The consensus is that your parents-in-law do not need travel or COVID insurance to enter Thailand on a visa on arrival for one month. However, it's important to note that this policy may change after March 31, 2023, when the visa on arrival duration is expected to reduce from 30 days to 15 days. For longer stays, having insurance might be beneficial, as some tourists have encountered requests for it during their visits.

No they don't. The visa on arrival giving 30 days ends March 31, when it goes back to just 15 days. It might be extended but no official word yet.
