The opening is taking place in stages. It actually began last July. At that time, foreign travellers were once again allowed to stay on the island of Phuket without quarantine. However, the constraints associated with the so-called \"Phuket sandbox\" were not convincing. <strong>The island will have attracted fewer than 50,000 visitors over three and a half months<\/strong>A far cry from the million tourists a month to which it is accustomed.<\/p>\n<p>The authorities have obviously drawn the necessary conclusions. <strong>The opening on 1 November of 17 Thai provinces, including Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Chonburi (Pattaya)<\/strong>It simplifies a number of formalities. <strong>People from 42 countries can once again come to the<\/strong>. This includes most European Union countries (including France and Belgium) as well as Switzerland. Luxembourg is not currently on the list.<\/p>\n<p>The new rules apply to visitors who have spent at least 21 days in one of the authorised countries before entering Thailand and who <strong>only for arrivals by air<\/strong>. <strong>A QR code must be included, which acts as an entry certificate and will be available from 1 November at https:\/\/tp.consular.go.th\/. This will enable you to obtain a visa.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">More flexible measures<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Thailand's demands include<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A medical certificate certifying a negative PCR test less than 72 hours old<\/strong> (or a <strong>Covid healing certificate<\/strong> for any infected person dating back less than three months are required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A vaccination certificate proving that you have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days before departure<\/strong>. Just like a <strong>Covid insurance<\/strong> offering cover of up to 50,000 US$. It was previously 100,000 US$.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A hotel room must be booked for at least one night. <\/strong>In order to observe a 24-hour quarantine and find out the result of a new PCR test on arrival. This stay must be in an approved hotel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travellers must install a tracking application<\/strong> during your stay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If visitors test negative, they are free to move wherever they wish in the reopened provinces. The next steps include the reopening of bars and nightclubs on 1 December and the opening of other provinces. <strong>Before the kingdom fully reopens on 1 January 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Economic rescue<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>This sudden acceleration is taking shape to alleviate an unprecedented economic crisis<\/strong> in the country, which will be heavily dependent on tourism until 2019. Several million people have lost their jobs as a result, and the outlook for economic recovery remains bleak. <strong>GDP growth in 2021 could only be in the range of 0.7% to 1%<\/strong> compared with previous estimates of 4% at the start of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Thailand is once again leading the way in terms of opening up, even outstripping Singapore, the first country in South-East Asia to reopen its doors.<\/p>\n<p>And in any case, the Kingdom is doing better than its neighbours. The<strong> Cambodia, for example, has announced that it will reopen on 1 November.<\/strong> to tourists from all over the world. Except that this reopening comes with a quarantine of 7 days for \"normal\" tourists and 3 days for business and investment tourists. The medical argument for this difference is hard to find. Just like <strong>Bali<\/strong>which requires a 5-day quarantine. And all this for duly vaccinated travellers...<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/thailande-durcissement-entree-20230109.html\/\" data-id=\"139761\">Thailand partially tightens entry conditions<\/a><\/p><\/aside>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangkok is once again accessible to vaccinated travellers, with no quarantine and minimal restrictions compared with other destinations in South-East Asia.
