Thailand will no longer require a COVID test upon arrival, as the Southeast Asian country reverses some pandemic-era measures.

Travelers entering Thailand by air will be subject to new entry requirements beginning May 1, 2022, as follows:

For Fully Vaccinated Persons:

Sign up for Thailand Pass.
Include all required documents, such as a passport and vaccination certificate.
Include proof of insurance with at least $10,000 USD in coverage for medical treatment in Thailand (for non-Thais only).

(The COVID-19 test is no longer required both before and after arriving in Thailand.)

For Unvaccinated Persons:

(Option 1 – Exemption from quarantine) Travelers who have received a negative RT-PCR test result within 72 hours of departure must:

Create an account on Thailand Pass.

Include proof of insurance with at least $10,000 USD in coverage for medical treatment in Thailand (for non-Thais only)

(No COVID-19 tests are required after arriving in Thailand.)

PLEASE NOTE: Travelers who have been approved for entry into Thailand under the AQ scheme but wish to enter Thailand under the exemption from quarantine must reapply on the Thailand Pass.

(Option 2-Quarantine) Travelers who are unable to obtain an RT-PCR test result within 72 hours of departure or wish to be quarantined must:

Sign up for Thailand Pass.
