(TAN): The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has clarified that Thailand continues to welcome all international tourists under the fully-reopen-to-tourism policy that was introduced on October 1, 2022, TAT said in a statement.
Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health, Anutin Charnvirakul, said: “International travellers arriving in Thailand are not required to show proof of vaccination.”
In addition, foreign tourists are not required to show ATK or RT-PCR test results.
As part of the full reopening to tourism, Thailand is also offering a longer period of stay for visitors. Effective through to March 31, 2023, the period of stay is extended to 45 days (from 30 days) for tourists from countries/territories entitled for visa exemption, and to 30 days (from 15 days) for those eligible for a Visa on Arrival (VOA).
However, while Thailand is welcoming all visitors, a visitor source market may require incoming visitors including their own nationals returning home to have a negative PCR result.
Thus, Thailand is aiming to correspond with rules of these countries – among them are China and India. Therefore, passengers from a country that has requirements for RT-PCR test must have health insurance covering treatment of Covid-19 in Thailand.
