Thread: Thailand quarantine and entry conditions

^^ When I applied for a Thailand pass back in April I'm sure it was also valid for 3 days after the application date. Things must have changed just for May?

Anyway, I applied for another today and it was issued 1 minute over an hour. Easy.

I was also issued a 'Health Beware Card' about monkeypox.

Thailand to temporarily exempt immigration forms for international passengers traveling by air to reduce congestion


The Thai Cabinet has agreed to temporarily exempt the use of immigration forms “Tor Mor 6” for foreigners entering and departing from Thailand at all international airports to reduce congestion at Immigration checkpoints.


Government spokesperson Traisulee Traisornkul said on Tuesday, June 14th, that the exemption aimed to facilitate foreign travelers and reduce the congestion at the airports as the number of incoming tourists has increased significantly after the country reopening.


Foreigners traveling by land and sea are still required to fill out the forms because the arrivals are not significantly increasing as by air. The immigration forms are still practical in terms of crime prevention and tracking. Without the form, the physical information of incoming tourists entering that country will be collected via biometrics and their tourism information/destinations will be collected from the tour operators and airlines.

Despite the temporary exemption, the health screenings according to preventive measures against the spread of Covid-19 Coronavirus still has to be conducted, according to the deputy spokesperson.


As of press time, the unpopular but simplified Thailand Pass program also remains.

And I wonder when someone will be whispering to the witless fucker that came up with this idea that it has a knock on effect on TM30's, extensions of stay, 90-day reporting....

Bingo!

Bangkok, 17 June, 2022 – Thailand’s Centre of COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) today approved the removal of the Thailand Pass registration scheme and an US$10,000 health insurance requirement for foreign visitors, effective 1 July, 2022. Both requirements were initially removed for Thai nationals from 1 June, 2022.

From 1 July, 2022, foreign nationals are only required to show proof of either a certificate of vaccination or a negative RT-PCR or professional ATK test result within 72 hours of travel. These can be in a print or digital format. Random checks will be made on arrivals at Thailand’s international airports or land border checkpoints (in 22 provinces). Unvaccinated/not fully vaccinated travellers who are random checked and who are unable to show proof of a pre-arrival negative test will be required to undergo a professional ATK test at the point of entry.

So I started thinking about this today after reading this news then suddenly realised that the kids would lose wifi somewhere around Sadao Border, approx 1.5hrs into a 7hr drive.

Without the kids I would probably fly.

Then it's just me and the Mrs...

...and a Casino.

Maybe do a recce first with the lads.

no games / movies or spot how many yellow cars

I picked up an Everest the other day so I could sit them all the way at the back out of communication range then the Mrs could sleep in the middle seats and deal with their shit as required.

Either way it's got disaster written all over it.
