If you are travelling to Thailand, here is what you will need to know if you want to visit during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All travellers must provide proof of an insurance policy that covers treatment for COVID-19 up to the cost of $100,000 and a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of departure.
A PCR test must be taken on arrival, after which all travellers must quarantine at government-approved quarantine facilities or Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) facilities. This can include luxury hotels, some of which have developed quarantine packages.
Does my Buddy Travel Policy meet the Thai COVID-19 requirements?
The short answer is Yes.
Here is all the details on on of COVID-19 protections included on every policy:
