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 threadRobert *******
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

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
Helio *****
@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?
Maureen ****************
OP@Lucy ********
Thank you so much LucyColin **********
@Lucy ********
this form is the declaration form that should be supplied from your doctor before you travel,

ALL passengers who traveled specified area within 14days. Including Thais. (Thai people only don't have to have insurance but need to have medical certificate to fly home if traveled those area.)

Still awaiting confirmation of details.

OP@James *******
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.
