Thai authorities have announced that foreign tourists will again be allowed to visit Thailand. However, getting into the “Land of Smiles” will now be quite difficult, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Foreign visitors who want to relax on Thai sandy beaches and enjoy exotic Thai dishes will need to obtain a visa at the Thai embassy.
Candidates will have to confirm their financial wellbeing – namely, the possession of at least 500 thousand baht (about $16,580) on their bank account. In addition, it is necessary to take out extended medical insurance for at least 3 million baht (about $99,500).
But that’s not all. All foreign nationals arriving in Thailand will need to be quarantined for 14 days and visitors from most countries would be able to obtain a visa for 60 days only.
