TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the health certificate required for entering Thailand due to COVID-19. It addresses whether the requirement applies to all nationalities or only specified ones, clarifying that the health certificate must be obtained through a doctor or involve a COVID-19 test. There is confusion regarding the applicability of the law, with many community members sharing experiences and examples of different scenarios related to their nationalities and travel plans.

I was at the Don Muang airport today. They told me there's no health certificate required when coming to Bangkok. The lady said they maybe will ask about it if you come from risk zone country but for the moment no official requirement at the airport

lets see what happens on this thread

Flying tomorrow does not make any sense. Get organised and relax, you can not apply for the Visa until Monday, so even if you fly on Sunday you still have time enough to find a hotel.

This is what every body talks about and as far as I know Thailand and Indonesia are not mentioned as disease effected zones

Lucy *********

@Lucy ********

So im british .married to a thai got a daughter house im buggered .because i work offshore in the uk
Benjamin ******
If you have a valid Non-O visa or an extension of stay, you should be able to re-enter, right?
Austin *********
So this form can't be done in whatever country you went to to get your Thai visa, for example Laos? It must the done in Thailand? That's weird to me.
Lucy *********
When you say a standard health document, is that just a letter from the doctor declaring your current health condition? I am arriving tomorrow from the UK, my doctor is unclear what exactly I need. It's not possible to get a covid19 test in the UK if you are not currently at risk or unwell.
Bobby ********
@Lucy ********
. When you say you are arriving in Thailand, have you left the UK?
Colin **********
@Lucy ********
outlooks like you need a covid19 test before you fly and a declaration from your doctor your in good health, the post I read said it should be presented to the Tgai embassy in the uk (if your from the uk) suspect in reality it will take a week for immigration to get their act together. You should download the AOT app which requires the info of where you will stay

@Lucy ********
where can we get that form? Thanks
Pil *****
@Lucy ********
may i know. Where I can get this form and print it out? So I need to bring this form to hospital to let the doctor fill it in or we can fill it in ourselves? Please advise
Lucy *********
Ok thanks, but he bottom part cannot be filled out as they cannot test us....any advice?

So basically it has not been confirmed as yet?
Rex ******
According to Gen. Prayuth it is required for ALL nationalities except Thai. Maybe he was just pissed at the media people when he said it.
Rex ******
Thais will get 'Fit-t-Fly' document but not health insurance.
Duncan *******
@Rex *****
including Thai according to Khaosod
