Idk from which country u from but most are still allowed even for tourism purposes.

It is a bit complicated and expensive getting in as you must quarantine in gov approved hotels (around 1000$ usd)

Only some african countries and uk might be harder to get allowed in because of "variants".

Idk, but you should contact the embassy of the country you are currently in, they will know the answers.

I believe receiving medical treatment (as long as it isn't covid related) is a valid reason to be granted access.

The Thai embassy will know

China are pushing their agenda that only a Chinese produced vaccines are to be used for entry into their country and without doubt they will be soon asking other countries to join them in this venture - you have been warned Thailand - be careful of free donations from China as there are always strings attached to their gifts - nothing is for free from the Chinese schemes 🍉🍉🍉

No it don’t as you don’t leave air port as no different passing any air port only time it applies is when walk on uk soil and boarder security and costume hop this helps passing and transmitting in air port dose not mean staying in it’s destination only passing hop this helps hence no visa needs to be filled and applied and that only applies to the country you plane to walk on the soil and have holiday and spend time as long in air port and passing by no don’t need it hop this helps

The problem with this legislation is it's totally subjective and open to interpretation So many grey areas if you have a valid legal reason and either an email or letter of invitation who's to say whether its genuine or fake and then worst scenario you get landed with a huge fine refuse to pay and end up in court Any solicitor worth their salt would have it dismissed The fine is simply a scaremongering tactic to deter people from flying to Europe One more thing if this declaration form were to be worth the paper its written on it would be mandatory to complete it electronically as with the Passenger locator form Absolute shambles of a Government

From my perspective yes, but rules and regs may differ. You may need proof of appointment. Might be worth finding a clinic that does free consults and get a letter
