COVID-19 Testing and Vaccine Rules for Entering Thailand

As of late 2023, it is still mandatory for travelers entering Thailand to either present proof of vaccination or provide documentation of having completed an RT-PCR or Pro-ATK test, particularly for those who are unvaccinated. While evidence of this paperwork is not obligatory prior to departure from one's home country, it is important to note that airline staff and Immigration Officers are conducting random checks of passengers upon arrival in Thailand. 

Additional noteworthy travel-related developments include:

• All tourists intending to stay within Thailand's borders must submit a mandatory TM30 notification of residence form.
• Face mask restrictions have been relaxed and are now only applicable to specific establishments, such as hospitals and the BTS/MRT. Despite this, wearing a face mask is strongly recommended.
• While travel insurance is optional, its acquisition is highly encouraged for the well-being of travelers.
• The Certificate of Entry (COE) and Thailand Passes are no longer obligatory for entry into the country.

For additional details, visitors are encouraged to consult the Thailand Embassy official website.

The Thai Visa Exemption Scheme enables tourists from 64 countries to enter Thailand without the need for a visa. Travelers can explore Thailand for a maximum of 30 days, whether they enter through an international airport or a land border checkpoint from a neighboring country.

Based on Thailand's immigration regulations, foreign nationals visiting Thailand under the visa exemption program need to provide proof of financial capability to support themselves during their stay. Therefore, Indonesian nationals are advised to adhere to the following:

1. Ensure their passport is valid for at least 6 months.
2. Provide proof of a return ticket.
3. Show evidence of accommodation/hotel booking for their stay in Thailand.
