Bangkok, Thailand, January 10, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) clarifies that Thailand continues to welcome all international tourists as part of the full reopening of tourism introduced on October 1, 2022. Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health, HRH Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, said: "International travelers arriving in Thailand will not be required to present proof of vaccination."

Only visitors arriving from or traveling to countries that require an RT-PCR test need health insurance that covers COVID-19 treatment in Thailand.

Furthermore, foreign tourists are not required to present ATK or RT-PCR test results.

As part of the full resumption of tourism, Thailand is also offering visitors a longer length of stay. Until March 31, 2023, the length of stay for tourists from visa-exempt countries/territories is extended to 45 days (previously 30 days), and for those eligible for a Visa on Arrival (VOA) to 30 days (previously 15 days).

Although Thailand welcomes all visitors, it is possible that a country of origin may require a negative PCR test from visitors, including its own nationals returning to their home country.

Thailand is therefore aiming to align its regulations with those of these countries – including China and India. For this reason, travelers from countries that require an RT-PCR test must have health insurance that covers COVID-19 treatment in Thailand.

The campaign “Visit Thailand Year 2023: Amazing New Chapters” invites tourists from all over the world to discover the countless wonderful existing and new tourist experiences, products and services of the Kingdom.
