Hi, everyone I was wondering if you could help me with some info before I book tickets this evening.

What is the latest information on the entry requirements for Thailand (mixed reports on google)  Is it still open and vaccination and quarantine free?  (Is there a reliable website to get up to date info?)

Do you have to show proof of accommodation for your entire stay, we normally used to book the first few nights and wing it for the rest of the month?

Thanks so much for your time : )

TLDR : Answer Summary

The latest information indicates that Thailand is currently open with no insurance or vaccination requirements for entry. If applying for a visa, the consulate may require proof of accommodation for the full stay, though many allow booking for just the initial days. For visa exemption, travelers only need a valid passport. It is also recommended to have travel insurance despite its non-mandatory status.

Travel insurance is always recommended. Lots of gofundme stories of people that didn’t have some.

All those above comments apply.

If you're Visa Exempt you get 30 days

If you're looking to extend your say ,you need to apply at the

Immigration office for the visa ,normally 30 days. Make sure your passport is up-to-date and you will need to fill another 3 forms you will be directed there.

A passport photo is needed to complete your application there's a kiosk nearby by

4 photos for 100 baht.

Now here's the CRUNCH LINE from my experience.I had booked paid hotel accommodation which they just casually looked at...the Immigration officer said you need to show a private persons details that can be contacted

Luckily i had my girlfriend's details which they accepted and stamped my form to proceed to get a visa

1900 baht cash only

the officer wasn't interested in flight departures

Always be polite and patient otherwise you could be in for a very bad day

No requirements for insurance or vaccination.

If you’re applying for a visa then that’s up to the consulate you’re apply at as to whether you’d need accommodation for the full time. Most will accept the first few days.

If you plan coming visa exempt then you literally just need your passport.
