Coronavirus (COVID-19) travel restrictions in Thailand – updated 11 October 2022
Who can travel to Thailand?
From 1 October, passengers will be no longer required to present COVID-19 related documents such as a certificate of vaccination and COVID-19 test results upon arrival in Thailand. Entry requirements for Thailand are the same for all travellers, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status. Travel insurance is still highly recommended. More information here.
State of emergency in Thailand due to COVID-19 – 26 March 2020
Thailand's government has announced it will be imposing a one-month state of emergency, starting Thursday 26 March, allowing it to impose stricter measures to control the coronavirus.
Travel restrictions due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in Thailand – 24 March 2020
On 30 January 2020, the WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak that originally emerged in Wuhan, China. On Wednesday 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.
Starting 22 March 2020, all travelers both foreigners and Thai residents (regardless of countries they are traveling from) are required to present a medical certificate signed by a medical professional confirming no evidence of the coronavirus infection in the previous 72 hours, and evidence of travel insurance of no less than US$100,000 which covers COVID-19. Failure to meet these requirements will mean passengers are not permitted to board their flight.
On 21 March, the Bangkok Governor announced 26 venue types will be closed until 12 April. This includes shopping malls, restaurants, food halls and similar food consumption areas, hairdressers, swimming pools, golf courses, and arcades.
Supermarkets, stalls selling food and fresh produce, restaurant takeaway services, pharmacies and other business that sell essential goods are exempt from the guidelines. Provinces surrounding Bangkok will implement similar measures for the same period.
The Chaing Mai Governor implemented similar measures to be in place from 23 March until 13 April.
Follow the advice from the WHO: wash your hands consistently, maintain at least 3ft (1m) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing, and if you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early (call before visiting your doctor).
Travel alert for Southern Thailand - 2019
On Tuesday 5 November, 15 people were killed by gunmen in one of the worst attacks Thailand has seen in years.
This serves as a reminder to all travelers that the region bordering Malaysia in Thailand's south is listed as "Do Not Travel" by many government travel advisories. This includes Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla.
Violence in this region is not new – thousands have been killed in southern Thailand since a separatist insurgency gripped the region in 2004.
If you are planning on entering Thailand via one of its land borders, read our tips here on which crossings are safe, and which borders should be avoided.
Tropical storm Pabuk - January 2019
Koh Samui Airport and other airports in southern Thailand are open however there may still be delays, so check with your airline prior to travel. Ferry services between the mainland and Koh Samui have resumed. The ferry service between Pattaya and Hua Hin has also resumed.
Thailand is preparing for Tropical Storm Pabuk as it makes its way westward into the Gulf of Thailand, where it's due to make landfall on Wednesday 3rd January in southern parts of the country and continue to cause damage until the 5th January. Popular tourist spots such as Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Krabi, Koh Lanta, Koh Tao and other islands will be impacted, with a high risk of heavy rain and coastal flooding.
The storm has already produced torrential rains and flooding in Vietnam and Cambodia. Meteorologists are continually monitoring the storm system as there are concerns it could gather strength in the Gulf and evolve into a cyclone.
Numerous beaches have been closed in the areas to be impacted by the storm system (often marked with a red flag). Follow all local warnings and signage regarding beach closures and do not swim.
Authorities have issued warnings to the public and all hotels, resorts and tour operators. Ferry services from the mainland to the islands and inter-island have been canceled. The ferry service between Pattaya and Hua Hin has been suspended until further notice due to high winds and rough conditions in the Gulf of Thailand.
Several airlines have canceled flights to/from Koh Samui and flights are also affected flying to/from Phuket and other airports in southern Thailand. Travelers are advised to check with their airline prior to departure.
Please check with authorities for more information, follow any official warnings and listen to local news reports to monitor the situation.
Martial law
Travelers are reminded that a military junta is in charge of Thailand and martial law may be re-imposed in tourist areas at short notice. Martial law allows the authorities to make laws by decree, and to detain, arrest or deport people without reference to the judicial system. These powers are often given to local commanders – basically, the local police or army chief can make it up as he sees fit. Decrees made in one area may not apply elsewhere.
Death of the Thai King - October 2017
Travelers to Thailand are warned that circumstances had changed in the country following the death of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej on October 13th, 2016. The 88-year-old monarch was much loved and widely respected in Thailand, it's advised to show respect and sympathy to the Thai people. A year-long period of mourning has recently ended with a five-day funeral ceremony finishing on October 30th.
Before you buy a travel insurance policy, check your government travel warnings and health advice – there may be no travel insurance cover for locations with a government travel ban or health advice against travel.

I am a middle aged lady and due to travel April 2-18 from Dublin Ireland to Bangkok and surrounding islands and I think it is wise for me at this time with the Coronavirus spreading to cancel my flights. I am also a solo traveller. Can you please help me to understand my rights and info on cancellation and refund if I'm eligible
Kind regards Rose
Last year we booked 4 premium economy flights to Thailand in November 2020 - travelling on to Cambodia. We are all in our 70s but have insurance. When is the best time to see if we can claim our money back - if it's too soon I assume the airline will say it's too soon to say we're not allowed to go & try to make us cancel with no refund?
What redress has anyone re insurance claims if the fo say it's OK to go but at our ages......
I’m coming to Thailand in December 2021.
I’ll be arriving with My Autistic son who is half Thai.
Will I still have to quarantine? For the 14 days?
I have had both the AstraZeneca vaccines.
My son is only 15 years and there are no vaccines available for anyone under 16.
I am also want to travel in March 2 nd week but due to outbreak of corona ,cancelled my current trip to thailand and my advice is that please do not travel please think for other days but see thailand ,my drean country in all aspect.
Go n enjoy in Thai , i am from india
I’m leaving from San Diego to Thailand next week and can’t wait!!
I m traveling to bangkok in June 2020
Does this apply to passengers in transit?
Is Bangkok opening for tourism in June? I am planning for a trip to Bangkok from India with my boyfriend.
Hi Srinandini,
I would err on the side of caution with planning any trips in the near future. My best suggestion would be to contact your airline if you have a trip booked already, or perhaps leave it to the last minute. If things to open back up in June, maybe flights will be cheap right beforehand?
I wouldn't book anything now though.
Cheers,
Milly
Last week I booked a round trip ticket on a United/ANA code share from Seettle to Bangkok with a short connection in Yokyo Haneda for 401.00 US round trip This included all taxes, etc. The dates I booked were 7 June to 7 July. While I'm grateful to get such an affordable fare, the lack of information coming out of Thailand regarding what happens after May 30th, is maddening. It's fantastic that they're allowing hotels and restaurants to reopen, but how long will they remain open with no tourists? Thailand isn't really a destination that you decide to visit at the last minute. There's a significant amount of preplanning involved for most people. The current situation makes it impossible to plan anything in the short term. I don't think it's too much to ask for some more definitive guidance from Thailand on what happens after May 30th. I just don't want to find out on June 1st that I need a visa before I arrive and that I can't stay in the places I've booked. I have to assume ANA has permission from the Thai government to run that flight to BKK with arriving tourists or they wouldn't have scheduled it.
Hi William,
It is certainly a very frustrating time for us all. Best to be patient and prepared for any last minute changes, and try to be flexible with your plans. Stay up to date with the latest news, and keep an eye on the Thailand tourism updates: https://www.tatnews.org/category/thailand-tourism-updates/
I hope you have a safe trip. All the best.

Hi
I booked a family holiday in January
To travel to Thailand in August this year.
2 adults 2 kids.
Just wondering if anyone else has booked to go Thailand for this summer
And do you think your holiday still might go ahead.
I'm really looking forward to it & hope I can still travel. But if there is restrictions where we have to where masks all the time then I wouldn't go.
It just wouldn't seem like a holiday especially for the kids.
Hi Cas
I’ve done exactly the same as you and booked a trip in November for August. I’m supposed to be travelling to three destinations and an elephant sanctuary. Really looking forward to it but dont know if there will be restrictions or self isolation in which case there is no point in going. I’m going with my 4 children. I’ve cancelled some of my accommodation for now as they were refundable but there’s some accommodation that’s non refundable and also the flights both there and internal flights. I don’t know whether to cancel the elephant sanctuary trip and lose 10% or just wait and see. It’s all a bit frustrating.
I have booked for 1st 2 weeks Sept Bankok then chang mai then Koh samui, so looking forward to it as both our kids are going to Uni was going to be a big trip before they go. I have paid my balance yet which is due 27 June am holdingout at the moment am still hopeful we can travel but have just read in the telegraph that no internation flights until October! If anyone knows any different please let me know too ...I pray we all get on our much needed holidays
So sad its looking unlikely that we will be visiting family in August. Was due to be our first trip to koh samui since 2015! Just hope we get insurance payout so we can go another time
Hi I have just been issued by Thai airways my new ticket to Thailand for the 1st July i am uk citizen as you know I can’t get covid cover from uk to cover me in Thailand and their is know doctors cert either so will I be denied entry at airport do you have any advise in this matter thanks
Government announcement from yesterday: https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1166281-foreigners-allowed-to-enter-thailand-on-case-by-case-basis/?utm_source=newsletter-20200530-0704&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=news
You need $100,000 health insurance and will have to quarantine for 14 days. The tourism ministry is pushing for tourism to re-start but unlikely to let anyone from the UK, Italy, France, USA or other countries with high infection rates in for months though. I live in Thailand and don't know when travel within the country will be allowed. Not possible to even leave or enter the island we live on (Phuket) until 1st July at the earliest.
Guys guys don't buy tickets yet airlines kind of will say anything to get money they in bad situation now we all must wait for Thailand government announcement nobody know anything yet maybe only three people knows when. all of us stuck we must wait and keep eyes on news and not CNN fake news only here and Bangkok post
Agree with Mohamed
Appreciated
Hi I'm due to travel to khon kaen in late October and early November from the UK I will be staying with y Thai family during this period do you think it is wise to do so thanks in advance
I got to Thailand on March 21st for a 5 day trip and tomorrow is June 30th. The latest news is that Thailand "may" open in September. They are starting to let in rich travelers, those who will spend 30 days in expensive hotels on the islands, business travelers and skilled labor. There are only a handful of flights daily, mostly Korean, Asiana, Qatar, etc with others supposedly starting to fly here in middle of July but that, like everything else, is subject to be moved back. Air Asia has no flights at all until July 16th but again, they can move them back like they have every month since March. About 1/2 the hotels are still closed including Landmark, Marriott Marquis, Doubletree, etc. Some restaurants are open and some are closed, several for good. Parks reopened in May as they and the malls were closed for a month. You have to scan QR codes, and wear masks, to get into about everything. No bars are open as of today and even if they do (suppose to July 1st) there are lots of restrictions about no talking, no dancing, can't be within 6' of another customer, etc. I wouldn't even consider coming here until at least September. Nana and Soi Cowboy are totally closed for those of you coming for nightly entertainment and have been since March. Nok/Scoot Airline has liquidated and are no longer flying, totally out of business. Thai Airlines has filed for bankruptcy. I would highly recommend staying in your home countries and waiting until at least fall before even considering coming to Thailand. But, the rules change every day.
Anybody know when Thailand will open? I mean for us not special cases
Hi Mohamed,
I have just updated the information here to reflect the latest changes. International tourism won't be allowed until a later date (not yet specified), but 11 groups of Thai and non-Thai nationals are permitted to enter from 1 July - the full list is available here: https://thailand.prd.go.th/ewt_news.php?nid=9811&filename=index
Keep an eye on the latest news, and when the entry ban is lifted for travelers, follow the advice of your government in case they have a travel ban on their own citizens.
All the best,
Amelia, World Nomads
J'aimerais savoir que mon voyage a Bankok en septembre 2020 aura lieu
Have been continually rescheduling my return flight to Manchester on Emirates only to receive constant cancellations. Last attempt with Emirates online chat was offered late July but no guarantee.
Due the constant misinformation from Emirates deciced rebooking one way on Qatar whom genuinely appear to be offering some semblance of flights operating has advertised.
Understand need Covid-19 health certificates 72 hours prior departure.
All the best for your upcoming trip, Jim. If you have any tips for travelers when you do arrive safely in Thailand, please share your experience with us here in the comments!
Stay safe,

Hi I have retirement visa valid untill 15 August have you any idea when I can come home to Thailand thank you chris
I'm currently in Thailand where I've lived since 2007 under a type "O" non-imm visa , and want to travel to UK in August for return to Thailand in September. Understand that as of now with a valid type "O" visa and valid health insurance docs for minimum $100,000 cover you can apply at Thai Embassy in London for the required Certificate of Entry and Fit to Fly Certificate which , if approved , allows you to fly to Bangkok where you will do the mandatory 14 day quarantine at a designated venue (hotel) at your own expense. Can anyone agree with this ?
Hi Amelia,
from the latest news seems that travel to Thailand will be not easy also in August.
But Europe from July start to accept Thai tourists.
Do you know if a Thai national (with thai passport) can flight from Bangkok to Europe ( always on August) for just a leisure trip: without any problem, and without quarantine when back in Thailand? (Obviously with the usual rules visa etc etc.)
Thank you
Max
Hi Max,
I will update the information in our alert to reflect this - thank you for flagging the August notice!
Please check with your airline for the most up to date information for your circumstances.
Cheers,
Amelia, World Nomads
I wanted to spend a couple of weeks in a Thai monastery from 16 July ....the monastery have okayed it...but any idea if I would have to quarantine for 14 days ...I appreciate there may be no news yet ...don’t know if you know if there is any chance of it being ok or not...
My travel plans have me returning to Chiang Mai in November 2020, I live in Massachusetts where our numbers are way down for Covid19. I plan to be tested for both active Covid19 and antibodies. I spend three months in Chiang Mai each year to study Thai Metal arts at Wat Sri Suphan. If Boston remains in a flattened numbers state, what is the possibility that I can travel? Will I be required to quarantine in Bangkok, which I am happy to do.
KarenC I really don’t think they will make a state by state evaluation on which USA citizen will be allowed entry
Can you keep me informed regarding entry to Thailand
Wait until after July 31st. Current ban extends until then. They will either extend the current one or move into the next phase which should be limited tourism (pre 72 hour boarding COVID test) with the possibility of arriving there and being sent into a 2 week quarantine. Kinda risky if one of the immigration officials are having a bad day. I guess we will see in 2 weeks.
hi i am planning to travel to thiland for medical tourism when that will be allowed ?
I really hope they open soon. I work at sea and left my home and girlfriend on January 28th to go to work and have not been allowed back since. I am still stuck at sea because I cannot renew my visa and I cannot be granted permission to enter Thailand because I cannot be issued a visa due to working internationally and not being married. It is more likely that the decision makers have the virus than myself but I am still not able to travel with the proof of my isolation at sea. Prying for some good news on the 31st July
Currently in Thailand having lived here since 2007 under a type "O" non-imm visa. Want to travel to UK next month with Thailand return in September. Understand that as of now you can get the necessary Certificate of Entry from a Thai Embassy abroad with a valid type"O" visa and valid health insurance docs for minimum $100,000 value , then once granted can get the necessary Fit to Fly certificate and once landed at Suvarnabhumi have to go into mandatory 14 day quarantine at a government designated venue (hotel). Does anybody agree with this ?
I’m from Philippines do I still need to go for quarantine? I have a boyfriend from Slovenia we want to meet there. Is he need too to go for quarantine also?
Jean , thank you :)
Jean, Depends on if Phils & Slovenia are included in "The Bubbles". See below.
Taweesin Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Thai Government’s Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration, told the media recently that the so-called “travel bubbles” will allow people from countries who have the same level of virus to visit without the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
He said travellers will need to have completed "health checks" before and after arrival as well as valid medical insurance. However, he did not give a date for the selective reopening, adding that talks over coming days between health and tourism officials will outline the next steps.
Not worth the aggravation or money lost. Just stay in your home countries until this passes. I have been waiting since February to leave the USA to get to Thailand and my wife is a Thai National. Not worth it, save your money you will be glad you did because once its back to normal you will have the cash to spend .
I booked a trip to Bangkok on October 28th. It appears that the travel ban may be less restrictive then. Have any new guidelines been issued for August yet, and where would quarantine for 14 days if that is a condition of entry into the country?
Hi Art,
Contact your airline for the latest information on restrictions and measures that apply to you. Depending on where your flight is departing from and what category of visitor you fall under, your requirements for arrival may differ to others.
As the situation changes, stay up to date with the latest, as October is still a while off :)
All the best,

Hi, I am in Melbourne, Australia right now we are on stage 4 lockdown as we have been dealing with big numbers of Covid 19 cases since mid July..
I was planning to take my family to Phuket this Christmas for a holiday , lucky I haven’t booked flights or accommodations, was planning to do that in May but things we not looking good and still doesn’t look good anyway..
Any idea if everything is back to normal in Thailand? I know everything is in a mess right now everywhere around the works but we need to have some sort of our lives back to normal as this is insane...
Hi Sadia,
Our travel alerts are based off official announcements from government travel advisories. Unfortunately, we don't have any information on what the future holds and can only provide information on what has been announced by official sources.
The best thing to do is stay up to date with the news, sign up for alerts to let you know when travel to Thailand is possible – perhaps your airline will offer email alerts for this type of information, check their websites to see if this is available.
All the best, and stay safe in Victoria!

Hi, Amelia.
I am currently in Australia and have been since new years day, I am married to a Thai and I have a son over there too, My question is, I am allowed back in but I have heard I cannot get on Thai repatriation flights so I would need to fly on a commercial flight do you know which airlines are going to Bangkok right now from Sydney?.
Thanks for any help. Regards Neville
Hi Neville,
Contact your local Thai embassy to see if they are able to help you out, or try getting in touch with various travel agents who may be able to help out!

Hey was looking to book 5 days in Bali (Nusa Dua) & 5 days in Phuket I was under the influence that Phuket was open to travellers (coming from the UK) also can I get some info of Bali what is the deal with tourism in either destination.
Thank you in advance
We've booked to go to Thailand on the 31st of October before the pandemic, and now I'm crossing everything in hopes we can still go. Are new updates provided at the end of every month? We are based in the UK. I really don't want to move our trip to 2021 so trying to keep positive.
We’re with you buddy! Been keeping us going the thought of going away, will be so gutted to change everything now.
What’s more fustrating is not knowing anything, so you get all of your shots and buy the things you need and rush to get everything sorted a few days before or start now to be even more disappointed.
Thailand is has been rated the safest place to be as of today, here in the UK we are seeing 1 death a day, really don’t understand why things are still the way they are, I doesn’t need to be this restricted (at this stage).
Fingers crossed, they want us there as much as we want to be able to be there (economy-wise) - Just don’t know what will happen if we are forced to quarantine for 14 days, are you still able to get money back as technically you can still travel..
Hi Amelia and World Nomads crew,

I have plans to travel to Bangkok November 26 through November 30, 2020. I am coming from the United States. Do you think there will be any quarantine or will the country be open by then? I know you don’t know now but what is your prediction based on previous behaviors of the government?
Hi,
Is there any official link where we find an official information?
I am planning to show up in Bangkok in December but still could not figure out if It is allowed or not
Thank You
Hi Mehmet,
We are getting the latest information from the Thailand Foreign Office PR Department (https://thailand.prd.go.th/) as well as resources including official government travel advisories and flight information from IATA (https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm).
For information on flights already booked, I'd recommend contacting your airline who will have the most reliable information.
There is news circulating that tourism may reopen in Phuket in October, however there are no official details at this stage.
Whether or not travel to Bangkok for tourism purposes in December is allowed remains unclear at this stage.
Sorry I'm unable to provide any extra information.
All the best,
Amelia, World Nomads

Hi! So I’m trying to go to Thailand for a month and half or 2 in feb 2021. do you guys think they would allow US foreigners in the country by that time?
Hi Ann,
It's hard to say – and nobody knows for sure. Set your expectations low, and at the very minimum, plan for two weeks quarantine on arrival. Hopefully by then the tests will exempt travelers from quarantine but it really is anyones guess.
As your departure date nears, contact your airline and accommodation provider for their insights as well.
Cheers,
Amelia, World Nomads
Thank you Amelia! I really hope thing changes over there! I had to cancel 3 trips this year! I’m hoping to travel next year. I need to get on a plane lol
Sounds bleak for the foreseeable future for travel to Thailand from USA.
Amelia,
These updates are indispensable. THANKS MUCH.
Hi All,
I want to say upfront that Thailand and SE Asia is a great place to visit and I mean no disrespect to the people of Thailand and the other countries that make up SE Asia. But SCREW the leadership in Thailand. And I do not care if you put me on the no fly list because I truly do no care. If you do not care about your people and the difficulties they are going thru due to the lack of income and lack of tourism, then who needs you.
And I am sure there will be some haters to my comments, bring it on. Because I know I am a rational thinker and truly understand we need to be safe. But it’s all about “balance”!!! That’s fine you want to keep tourists out, but the Thai Government needs to understand that for every action there is a reaction...and they are taking it to an extreme...and yes, I am the guy who will say what most people are thinking.
I will end this on this note, the Thai Gov can do what they want, that’s certainly their choice. But I am going else where and it’s a shame. Or I should say, unfortunately it’s the Thai people’s loss as a lot of people are going elsewhere.
I wish them and you, And even the haters to my real comments to be safe, stay happy and keep smiling...

Hi,
I live in Thailand.
Since Thailand is allowing long stay visitors from certain countries, I wanted to know if I can travel to these countries as well and will not have to quarantine upon return to Thailand.
Thank you
Now is big problem
When thailand opens borders
They want big thai insurance policy on every visitor
And premium cost depends on your country
If your from usa
U will pay the most $$$
Also want negative covid test
Also ckear to fly letter from your closest thai embassy
I hope to retire in Thailand, probably Phuket. Preliminary travel date in May '21. Think I understand the financial, testing and quarantine requirements and willing to comply. What are chances of obtaining Non-Immigrant Visa under these circumstances?
i cert of no covid 219 insurance but cannot get gov hotel can get hotels to stay for quarantine . what xcan i di
I traveled to Thailand earlier this March, before the whole world went to hell. It was the best 3 weeks I've ever had! needless to say i was hooked on Thailand and cannot wait to go back! The food and Women are amazing!, i must of had at least 3 a day. Its looking grim for US travelers, Quarantine upon arrival and health insurance is mandatory now.
For the time being all i can do is re-watch my pictures and videos of that distant Asian Paradise.
WOW 3 WOMEN A DAY,ARENT YOU THE BIG MAN
Thailand's embassy in India is issuing TR visas but saying that holders must book semi-commercial flights themselves (Can't fly on special repatriation flights embassy arranges). A Tourist Authority of Thailand press release dated Dec 23, 2020 "Thailand continues to reopen..." also mentions TR visas. I thought I'd fly DEL-DXB-BKK, but the EK website says that "Tourists and Transit/Transferring passengers will not be accepted." Very confusing.
Im in narathiwat, Thailand
I want to know its true the visa extension available for tourists now ???
Hello I just want to ask if the tourist is allowed already to visit Thailand?I'm from Philippines and my boyfriend is from Denmark we are planning to meet to Thailand this year is that possible ?
greetings from ZA
Will I be able to visit my son in Thailand once I received my J&J vaccine ? and would I still have to quarantine?
60 days extension is available? I now have a TR Visa (60 days), does this 60 days extension apply or just 30 days?
Can I apply for the extension right after leaving the quarantine? Or I have to wait with it till the end period of my 60 days stay?

I have a flight booked to Bangkok, will I be able to enter the country and stay in Bangkok by just going to Bangkok, or do I have to land at a different airport?I saw that it was not permitted, is this true?
When I applied for the Thai Pass at the end of December I looked for the required COVID health insurance.
TUNE offered insurance that satisfied the Thai Pass requirement. I purchased it and submitted it was part of the application. It was approved. Upon arrival in Thailand I was tested for COVID and that evening I learned the result was positive. I was forced to quarantine in a hospital for ten days. The hospital filed the claim and after waiting for five hours after a ten day quarantine the claim was not paid. I paid it and the hospital called the next day to inform me TUNE would not pay the claim. The hospital bill was 75,864 baht
which I had to pay. If you want to avoid non-payment of a legitimate claim do not purchase TUNE insurance.
