What are the current regulations regarding visa runs to neighboring countries from Thailand?

@Bill ********

viet is open? Is quarantine needed?

@Bill ********

lol. They have been closed for almost 2 years. We all know this. Vietnam is NOT open. Cambodia opened for air travellers on the 15th… yesterday. And there will be no border runs until things change

@Todd ********

check online some people have been let into viet nam.

@Paul ******

well wont be again because they never did originally, i also checked there website link is above and mentions nothing about it.

Please note we are talking about Thai embassy in Cambodia issuing visas for Thailand

@Todd ********

Border runs can be done by air 😉

@Jon **********

i can understand the enthusiasm.... however in the current covid environment, they cannot.

@Todd ********

Yes I understand you would have to go through the infamous Thailand Pass subscription again... not very convenient

@Jon **********

first, you would need to land, and stay the minimum 5 days in Cambodia. This on it's own eliminates the border run. If all clear in Cambodia, spend your time, apply for thailand pass, obtain your PCR in Cambodia, if you don't have insurance, you will need it to re-enter, and hope that the e-visa process works well in Phnom Penh or that the RTE is willing to issue your next visa and see if you can accomplish that during what could be an extremely busy 5 days in Cambodia. There will be no border runs. Full stop

@Todd ********

Except for people who have all their time

@Jon **********

right.... like me. But then it's clearly not a border run is it? Which simply circles back to my original point about border runs. Ur learning... but it's not a fast process lol.

@Todd ********

Thanks teacher

@Jeremy *******

sure

@Jeremy *******

No only by air

@Jon **********

can produce the news article for this…I know cambodia and Thailand are working on letting migrant workers in but nothing on tourists traversing back and forthzzz

@Jeremy *******

Sorry I didn't find anything, I was referring to what is said here

@Jon **********

it’s only for air travel

@Jeremy *******

Vietnam opening only for organized tour's

Unless they look at Thailand now a Cambodia a change

Because their is pressure to change

Or they just going to be left behind closed

@Maya ******

Depending on the direction the wind blows, all countries will probably fully reopen, but it will take some time. It's not going to happen in one fell swoop. I wouldn't even call Cambodia's announcement as a "full reopening" because it comes with conditions. It's probably as close to being "open" as you've been able to call it, since March 2020 though.

Vietnam has already said the final stage of reopening, meaning full unrestricted access by land, sea and air (meaning from borders with China, Laos and Cambodia) as well as cruises and regular, commercial flights, won't happen until June 2022.

Expect other countries to follow a similar schedule. Anything before June 2022 will only be a partial reopening or come with certain conditions.

@Paul ******

Cambodia already said that you just have to be fully vaccinated. And can enter the county. I guess it takes some time to restart flights and busses and things

Vietnam in the other hand only allows organized tours with 7 day's querentine

They are very hard country

They will open last

And in Vietnam their is growing pressure to follow in Thai and Cambodia steps

@Maya ******

Cambodia requires the following for now:

1) arrival by air

2) medical insurance

3) be fully vaccinated with a certificate to prove it

4) negative RT-PCR test

5) pass an ATK test upon arrival.

There won't be any buses because there are no open land borders or agreements with neighboring countries on this.

Jon Martin-th. The Cambodian border opened today for people entering, but anyone from Thailand will still have to apply for the Thailand Pass before flying back to Bangkok.

@Bobby *******

Some insurances are multi-entry

@Jon **********

insurance is valid for what ever length of time you purchase it for. Nothing to do with amount of entries

@Michael *******

I think Axa allows only one entry

@Jon **********

I seriously doubt that

@Michael *******

I found this "AXA Sawasdee Thailand is a single trip policy insurance. AXA Thailand does not offer an annual "multiple-trip" policy at this time" (bottom of the page, just above section Remark)

@Jon **********

Wow very interesting thanks for highlighting that, people will have to be careful. I had one from Arawan Namak and covered Asean travel

@Michael *******

A few days ago I stumbled on someone saying Axa was cr** for this reason. I also got mine through Arawan Namak, she advised ACS, good price and multi-entry, so I bought that one

@Jon **********

Got to be honest travelled all around the world taking repair crews on Ships and never heard anything like this.
