Thailand is now open to entry. If you have plans or plans to go to Thailand, the following guide will tell you what preparations you need. Thailand, like other countries, requires some necessary documents in addition to travel documents before entering the country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT), the Royal Thai Immigration Police and other embassies abroad officially announced that tourists must prepare four new documents if they want to enter Thailand——

1. Certificate of Entry (CoE)

All non-Thai nationals wishing to enter Thailand must submit this certificate. The grounds and urgency of each application for entry will be examined individually before the application is approved. If you want to obtain a license, please visit the website (https://coethailand.mfa.go) and follow the instructions to apply. The application process should be completed 7 to 14 days before your travel date. Do not confuse entry certificate and visa as they are different documents.

It is recommended that tourists hold a Thai visa before submitting a CoE application, as you may need to provide a visa on the CoE application platform.

In order for a CoE to be issued, travelers must provide proof of booking confirmation for the ASQ hotel of your choice and COVID-19 travel insurance.

2. Fit-to-FlyCertificate

As the name suggests, "Fit-to-FlyCertificate" is a medical certificate proving that you have no symptoms and are fit to travel. Before entering Thailand, be sure to obtain a certificate signed and issued by a doctor within 72 hours before departure. (The picture below is a template)

3. Virus-free certificate (COVID-FreeCertificate)

Different from the "fitness certificate" certificate, this is a laboratory result that specifically proves that you tested negative for coronavirus and had no symptoms of COVID-19. The test uses the RT-PCR method and must be performed at a qualified medical or testing facility no more than 72 hours before departure.

4. Insurance

All foreigners wishing to enter Thailand must purchase insurance, preferably an insurance policy covering health issues related to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the amount of At least US$100,000. You need to pay special attention when choosing a travel insurance plan, as most travel insurance policies do not cover epidemic infectious diseases. Therefore, always make sure your insurance covers coronavirus disease (COVID-19) before purchasing.

The additional documents may require more preparation time and cost more money, but are mandatory documents to ensure safe travel and prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition to these requirements, the amazing and magical Thailand is waiting for you! These documents should be difficult to obtain, so for most friends, just take a look. If you have to go, at least be mentally prepared. Specific steps after arriving in Thailand

The testing process itself is not complicated, and the results do not take long to come out. If the test result is negative, the visitor can proceed to the next step. However, if positive, the visitor will be referred to a specific hospital for treatment.

certificate) and Health certificate for flying. These documents must be signed within 72 hours of departure.
