What are the latest COVID-19 entry requirements for Thailand regarding vaccination and insurance?
Ok. so we’ve got some media reports of what’s come out of a meeting today. None are confirmed actual happenings but just speculation of what may transpire. As Douglas Adams said “Don’t panic”. It may transpire that you’ll need to prove covid shots (no mention of those that haven’t had a vax). It may transpire that you’ll need insurance in the case that you’re going to be traveling to a country that requires a PCR test. Guessing what will actually be the case is just crazy at the moment. We don’t know. The government don’t know. Immigration officials don’t know. The next couple of days may clarify what the new rules will be. Speculation prior to that is just that. Speculation.
Answer summary
Recent media reports suggest that Thailand may soon require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for all entrants and health insurance for travelers coming from countries demanding a negative PCR test. However, these are currently speculative and not officially confirmed. Discussions among expats indicate that clarity on the new regulations is expected in the coming days, with varying opinions on the need for vaccinations and insurance among travelers.

Billy Brown Not speculative, if reported by reliable News Sources.

willful blindness from the population - including from governments that perhaps can't connect excess mortality with the covid shots - half a million adverse reactions from MRNA gene therapy jabs in UK? Pfizer trial data fraud? Just conspiracy theories right? Yet all the masked sheep still trust their governement health advisors who of course have no conflict of interest.

you're grossly underestimating the power of these psychological operations. Folks have been conditioned over decades. Finely tuned and perfected so that subjects remain subjects. Now, this is the big one. It's had more funding than all the others combined. You're using your brain Simon, it's forbidden. 4 shots per year and think nothing else. Say nothing else. Strength through Unity. Unity through faith 🙏

BREAKING NEWS: Proof of Covid Vaccinations requirement upon entry reinstated. In addition, Thailand is Mandating Covid insurance for foreign visitors from countries that require negative RT-PCR test results before returning home (or traveling onwards to).

That’s a media report. Not law. No real details in it either.Robert ************
@Stuart ********
Well Aware what it is. But it's all we have for the moment. Some info. better than none, especially from reliable sources. FYI -- As a Harvard Law Grad, and a long-time appointed Arbitrator Judge on the Thailand Arbitration Commission, I think I know the difference between a media report and Law.Nontiya ***********

same as doctors, so accurate and smart since 3 years... 555 only sheeple believe those retards !Stuart *********

@Jo *********
Thank you. 👍

@Robert ***********
yes in the past two years what I read about Covid Rules changing in the Bangkok Post turned out always to be accurate. There are those people who get hung up on it being published in the Royal Gezette.Robert ************
@Stuart ********
Why are we arguing about this? I understand, as well as you, that news reports are not same thing as official. Still, the folks out there trying to plan their Travels NOW, need to have latest info. available (provided it is at least reasonably reliable), wouldn't you agree?Stuart *********
OP@Robert ***********
As a long time resident I’m also aware of the difference. What the Bangkok post prints that a Thai minister says is going to happen is not always the case. When it’s published in the gazette then I’ll believe it.

Thanks 🙏

At this point the consulate said only people from China will have to show proof of vaccination statues
John *******
Still use a condom in thailand you should be ok 🤣🤣🤣
Shane *****
So the first 2 shots or a gazillion boosters too?
Frank-Steven ***********
No problem. Just show the vaccination certificates that every sane person possesses 3 years into / after a pandemic already anyways. And having a travel-health insurance for a few bucks should be a no-brainer for everybody (of going to one of the few PCR requiring counties after, or not. The only thing I hope for is that they don't resort to implementing some pre-screening, upload all your crap and get a separate confirmation document again (Thailand Pass).

@Frank-Steven **********
don't panic is the key takeawayFrank-Steven ***********
@Tea **********
Yes. I am not. Cause I am fully vaccinated and have good, global health insurance. So free to travel. Others will have more time at home browsing esoteric social media content again. So, win-win, I guess. 😂Josephine ************
@Frank-Steven **********
oh dear, you poor soul
Lindsey **********
The new rules are show vaccine status for anybody entering Thailand
Josephine ************
@Lindsey *********
that is what the media printed, but the consulate said it only affects people coming from China.Stuart *********
OP@Josephine ***********
Unfortunately many embassies and consulates aren’t up to date with changes. Many have been known to give out incorrect information as they are just not aware of the current rules (as they change).Josephine ************
@Stuart ********
it is a waiting game at this pointRobert ************
@Josephine ***********
NOT CORRECT. Thai Minister of Health specifically denied that restrictions would be any different for Chinese!Josephine ************

well, we called themLindsey **********

Which countries fall under the PCR test on return?, China, India any others ATM?
Stuart *********
OP@Steve *****
That I don’t know. From the press reports it’s any country that requires a PCR test if you come from Thailand, China and a few others. We will have to wait for specifics to be sure.Steve ******
@Stuart ********
All i can think of is China and India.

Seemingly Thailand is on the list of “bad” countries. Who makes up that list or who uses it is not known to me.Activity
