REOPENING OF THE BORDERS:

Since 1^st July 2022, Thailand lifted the "Thailand Pass" registration scheme.

Foreign visitors are only required to show the proof of either a COVID-19 vaccination certificate or a negative RT-PCR or RAT (Rapid Antigen - NOT self-Antigen) test result within 72 hours of travel.

Unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated travelers who are unable to show proof of a pre-arrival negative COVID-19 test have to undergo a RAT test upon arrival. 

The health insurance requirement of US$10,000 (EUR 9,500) for foreign arrivals entering the country has also been lifted.
