**ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS TO THAILAND

All those hare brained entry requirements they announced last week are rescinded.

*You do NOT need proof of vax to board a flight

*You do NOT need proof of insurance to board a flight

*You do not need a negative covid test to board a flight

Entry is back the way it was BEFORE they thought up those crazy changes.

NOTE:

** It does state that people who will return to a country that requires a negative covid test to enter will be checked for proof of insurance ((insurance is for the duration of your stay PLUS 7 days)

Thanx one and all for the updates on posting the policy (y) **

TLDR : Answer Summary
Recent policy updates indicate that travelers to Thailand no longer need to show proof of vaccination, insurance, or a negative Covid-19 test to board flights. However, for those returning to countries that require a negative test for entry, proof of insurance for the duration of their stay plus an additional 7 days is necessary. Travelers are encouraged to stay updated with the latest regulations, as circumstances may change.

Nothing is sure or complete only complicated. Got from Thai Embassy suggesting, 1 week before departure Europa I should check travel rules for Thailand and keep original vaxin documents and copy of travel insurance with me

the way they wrote it was that if your airline let you board but you're going to a country that requires a negative covid test you can buy it here when you stamp in

These flip flop changes cost me $50 in an unnecessary border run. I know a lot of people have lost much more but still very annoying

The stress of it too is crazy. If Thailand loses lots of tourism and goes bust its their own fault
