Wow if you have never travelled to Thailand before and come across this sort of thing its a scam. Simple A4 form you can download from loads of places, or they will give you at airport.

T8 is free

TLDR : Answer Summary
The T8 form, necessary for travelers arriving in Thailand, is being discussed as potentially fraudulent, with many asserting it is a scam since it can be downloaded for free. The form is often offered at a cost by certain websites or individuals who may mislead travelers into thinking there is a fee involved. Comments indicate that the T8 is straightforward to complete and that it is usually provided free during the flight. Users express concern over the commercialization of a free government form and share personal experiences related to the arrival process in Thailand.

Form T8 is a free online download to complete yourself for airline check in and arrival and it is not a health declaration form. Although at the end it does ask if u r displaying certain symptoms. Here you go. I will 'process' it, whatever that means, for just $10....lol:

When you come from Africa into Bangkok. There is health control area where you have to present your yellow fever certification and as they call it at the airport a health declaration form (T8).

Been around for ages its for traceability with your seat number.

Its not a new thing thats been introduced for covid hence those questions its more geared to yellow fever, cholera and malaria

USD55 seems like a good deal with a 30 minute turnaround? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

... but to be fair, this free download has probably not been "featured on the BBC"

I came across this when looking for the T8 form. Not sure it’s a scam as such. Just entrepreneurs making money. 🀣🀣🀣
