Thailand starts reopening the country
Thailand has officially taken the first step in opening up the country for international visitors. The aim is to help revive the country’s tourism industry while maintaining effective COVID-19 control and prevention measures. International tourists can stay from minimum 30 days up to 9 months in the country with a visa. With all the necessary requirements before entering and during the stay in the country, the Thai government would like to ensure the safety and well-being of international tourists while staying in Thailand.Several Types of visas are offered for international visitors. Tourist Visa (TR) is the most common kind with a maximum stay of 60 days. The Special Tourist Visa (STV), is designed for international visitors who want to stay long in the country for up to 90 days, which can be renewed twice, meaning tourists can stay up to 9 months in the country. Visitors can apply for the STV visa until 30 September 2021. In addition, the holders of Long Stay Visa type O-A or O-X or re-entry permit of the mentioned types of visa are also welcomed to enter Thailand.
The visa will be granted to visitors from countries with lower COVID-19 infection rates, as advised by Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health. Visitors are also required to strictly adhere to Thailand's COVID-19 control measures and must be willing to undergo 15 days quarantine upon arrival at a certified hotel or a hospital that functions as a quarantine facility. In addition, a health insurance coverage of at least US$100,000 is obligatory. Read more about medical insurance here.
To ease the applicants, Thailand’s government has appointed the Thailand Longstay Company to facilitate the necessary procedures for the STV visa applicants up until application for a visa at a local embassy with a fee of 10,000 Baht excluding 7% VAT. The other option for visitors is to apply directly to your local Thai embassy.
