The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) on Monday said non-Thai travellers arriving in Thailand must have a fully vaccinated certificate, proof of recovery from Covid in the last months or a vaccine-exemption letter from a doctor.

Only visitors coming from or going to countries which require an RT-PCR test need to have Covid-19 insurance, the TAT said in a statement.

Passengers from countries that have requirements that may prevent them from going back because of Covid-19 will be required to have health insurance covering at least $10,000 for treatment of Covid19, it said in a statement.

Those with business arrangements, including flight crew and students, should have a letter from the host or other form of insurance to cover such needs.

“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,” the statement stated.

Thailand is aiming to correspond with the rules of these countries and does require Covid insurance for visitors or visitors to Thailand continuing on to these countries, in the case they test positive while in Thailand, it said, adding that China and India are among such countries.
