Popular Post NanLaew Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 If you have a valid Thai WP, a medical certificate stating you're not Covid-19 infected (no more than 72-hours old) and health insurance with minimum US$100,000 coverage and specifically states it covers Covid-19, your best bet would be via KLM out of Amsterdam. I think they have two flights/week to/from BKK using 787's Or wait until 1st July or later. The State of Emergency is reported to be lifted on that date with borders reopened and international passenger flights allowed. Between next week and 1st July, there will be more clarity on flights, visas, insurance, etc.. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present it is ONLY Thai nationals, with a limit on daily arrival numbers for them, as well as compulsory government-provided 14-day quarantine. Don't bother booking anything until July at the very least. I guess it will also largely depend on your port of departure for Thailand and where you have resided prior to that.

blowin Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 After the first of July borders will be reopened. But you have to wait to see what stipulations come with that news. Maybe tomorrow there might be some more news on this . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best line below, carry on clampdown.... "Authorities will have serious discussions because after the emergency decree ends, other laws will be used instead," he said.

WP holders are now seemingly permitted on the repatriation flights, as long as they jump through the other hoops. This was released yesterday and there's been some mention in the news about it. Page 2 gave the conditions, roughly as per post 3. The flights can only booked via an Embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykopite Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 There are no flights from the U.K. to Thailand and if there was you have to meet to conditions set by the Thai Government 1, Every foreigner entering Thailand must now have $100,000 insurance policy stating in the policy that you are covered for Corona 19 ( this only applies to foreigners not Thai nationals ) 2, A medical certificate must be issued prior to flying the certificate cannot be older than 72 hours before departure and must confirm that you are free of Corona 19 ( this includes all Thai nationals as well as foreigners entering b from other countries ) As a foreigner if you fail to have the above you will be refused boarding onto your flight. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont write on here when you dont know what your talking about!!! Sorry but @umlungu2012 is right! Here are the rules as for today on the airlines IATA base : Quote Thailand Published 27.04.2020 Flights to Thailand are suspended. - This does not apply to state or military aircraft, emergency landing, technical landing without disembarkation, humanitarian aid, medical, relief and repatriation flights. Passengers are subject to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. Airline crew must observe self-quarantine during their stay until the next flight schedule.

There was an order a few days ago for people with PR or WP, but no date on when this will apply. BTW, if people with family in Thailand were able to enter soon, you could be sure that there would be a huge thread about that on this forum ! Sadly those with family are not in the priority list... No date for them yet. Edited June 2, 2020 by Pattaya46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No date for them yet. Only Work Permit, not PR, and it applied immediately. However it also mentioned it should be applied for 10 days in advance of planned travel so there's probably no-one taken advantage of it yet. When it starts, they'll be on repatriation flights, not scheduled services, so the IATA rules will not apply (although most of them still do) and will not be used to deny boarding if the Embassy paperwork is in place.
