BANGKOK: Thailand requires Covid-19 vaccination proof from international travelers, according to the country’s aviation regulator.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) on Saturday (Jan 7) said, “Starting January 9, 2023, to January 31, 2023, International travelers arriving in Thailand must have proof of full vaccination; OR proof of recovery from COVID in the last 6 months, OR you may provide a vaccine-exemption letter from a doctor. Travelers who are unable to present such documents will be subjected to COVID test at port of arrival”.
CAAT said airlines would be responsible for checking documents before passengers board and has released a list of how many doses are required for various types of COVID-19 vaccines on its website.
Thai nationals, transit passengers, and children below the age of 18 years are not required to show proof of vaccination.
CAAT added, “Travel Insurance is still highly recommended when you travel to Thailand”.
