Where do you register to come into the country? I have friend that has work permit and needs to return. He would be a business traveler from what I understand. This was posted today but I see no link to give him to register. Any advice?
The government plans to allow seven groups of foreigners to enter the country, Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, the spokesman of the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, announced today (June 22). The committee has divided these into two main groups.
The first group may be required to undertake state quarantine on entry:
1. Businessman and investors (around 700 have registered to enter).
2. Skilled labourers and exporters who need to inspect factories or for specific business purposes (around 22,000 have registered).
3. Foreigners married to Thais, or permanent residents of Thailand (around 2,000 have registered).
4. Medical and wellness tourists (around 30,000 have registered).
The other group comprises travellers who won’t need to go into quarantine on entry:
1. Businessman on short-duration stays, including those coming into the country for business discussions. This group might need a specific area and intense screening both before travel and at arrival at airports.
2. Government guests who are invited for ceremonies or specific seminars.
3. Tourists under the travel bubble.
The CCSA aims to discuss the issue in depth with the Cabinet after finalising the details.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The registration for entering Thailand varies depending on the category and current government plans regarding COVID-19 restrictions. As of now, specific processes might be in place for business travelers and other foreigners, but these plans have not yet been fully formalized or implemented. It's advised to wait for official announcements from the Thai government regarding entry requirements and procedures.
