Registration for the “Thailand Pass” will be simpler for international visitors starting on June 1, 2022.

The Centre of COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) in Thailand has authorised the simplified Thailand Pass registration and entry procedures for overseas arrivals, which will take effect on June 1, 2022.

Foreign nationals must still apply for a Thailand Pass (through https://tp.consular.go.th/), but they just need to give passport information, vaccination records, and proof of a US$10,000 health insurance policy. After that, the system will generate a Thailand Pass QR code for the applicants. Thais will not be required to apply for a Thailand Pass in the meantime.

Vaccinated travellers must face entry screening upon arrival in Thailand, after which they will be granted admission and free to travel within the country.

Unvaccinated/not completely vaccinated travellers who upload proof of a negative RT-PCR or professional ATK test via the Thailand Pass system within 72 hours of travel will be allowed entrance and will be free to travel anywhere in the kingdom.

The CCSA also established a three-color-coded zone system for nationwide COVID-19 controls: Pilot Tourist Areas (blue zone), Surveillance (green zone), and Areas under Stringent Surveillance (yellow zone).

Nighttime entertainment outlets in the green and blue zones, such as pubs, bars, and karaoke lounges, will be allowed to reopen, including the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises, until 24.00 hours. All venues, however, must rigorously follow the preventative standards.

The quarantine requirement for the high-risk interaction was likewise eliminated by the CCSA.
