'Thailand Pass' registration eased for international arrivals from 1 June 2022

Bangkok, 20 May, 2022 – Thailand's Centre of COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) today approved the simplified Thailand Pass registration and entry rules for international arrivals, effective 1 June 2022.

Foreign nationals are still required to apply for a Thailand Pass (via https://tp.consular.go.th/), but will only need to provide passport details, vaccination, and an US$10,000 health insurance policy. The system will then automatically issue a Thailand Pass QR code for the applicants. Meanwhile, Thais will no longer be required to apply for a Thailand Pass.

Upon arriving in Thailand, vaccinated travellers must undergo entry screening, and will then be allowed entry and are free to go anywhere in the kingdom.

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

The CCSA also approved further easing of nationwide COVID-19 controls with three colour-coded zones: The Pilot Tourist Areas or blue zones, the Surveillance or green zone, and the Areas under Stringent Surveillance or yellow zone.

Night-time entertainment venues; such as, pubs, bars and karaoke lounges in the green and blue zones will be allowed to resume operation, including the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises up till 24.00 Hrs. However, all venues are told to strictly adhere to the prevention guidelines.

The CCSA also lifted the quarantine requirement for the high-risk contact.

TAT Newsroom will be providing updates in detail via www.tatnews.org once the official directives have been announced in the Royal Thai Government Gazette.








Anutin backtracks on July 1 endemic goal - Thai Enquirer Current Affairs

Anutin backtracks on July 1 endemic goal

Covid-19 will not be declared as an endemic disease on July 1, the health minister said on Friday, despite earlier suggestions that it would be.

Senior members of the government have been telling the public over the past two months that the government is planning to declare Covid as an endemic disease in July without providing a timeline or specific criteria.

Those claims were refuted by the health minister.

"No one said that it would be declared on July 1," Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters at government house.

Anutin said the current outbreak with the number of severe cases of around 1,000 patients and the declining number of daily Covid deaths are supporting the move to declare the disease as endemic.

However, the steps toward the declaration will continue to be done gradually and the process currently involves the re-zoning of provinces and hard hit areas to ease domestic restrictions.

Thailand reported 6,463 new Covid cases and 41 related deaths on Friday with 1,037 severe cases in hospitals nationwide.

For facemask wearing, Anutin said the emergency decree's order for people to wear facemasks in public is only a recommendation.

He said some provinces have issued their own mandatory facemask order with fines but they are rarely being enforced.

"There is no need to strictly enforce it because people are cooperating," he said.
