Hello, I'm looking for some clarification on the current travel ban. I see Thailand is allowing international arrivals starting after April 18th. I also saw something about April 30th. Anyone have the current and correct info? Thanks!

Other users express concerns about travel requirements, including obtaining a medical certificate for COVID-19, amid uncertainty about travel resuming.

The big question I have is how do you obtain a medical certificate for COVID-19 14 days within arrival in Thailand! I am ticketed to return home in Thailand May 6 but it looks like that paper is a mandatory requirement even with a visa? In USA it is not possible to get a medcert with COVID-19 test mention unless your show some serious COVID-19 symptoms 😣 every country in the world reopening travel is going to request for this very soon! I’m a focusing to get one starting next week in USA will see...

. I wouldn't count on incoming visitors being allowed in as early as May 6th. I think this ban will last several months
