Requirements to Visit Thailand

Considering the situation that the world is facing at the moment, expect that traveling these days could be a bit different and requires more effort and patience.

Quarantine-free travel in Thailand has been made possible for the convenience of travelers, like you and your family. What are the requirements for you to have quarantine-free travel in Thailand?

Travelers are granted a quarantine-free entry in Thailand if:

  • They are traveling from approved countries.

  • They are traveling by air.

Those travelers who are not from approved countries, who are not fully vaccinated, and not traveling by air can still travel to Thailand but is subject to a mandatory quarantine or stay in an approved secured facility for a required number of days.

If your children are under age 12 (for quarantine-free travelers) or under the age of 18 (for blue zone travelers), they will not need to register for Thailand Pass and receive a QR Code. The parents will have to add them to their Thailand Pass Registration under the “Personal Information” section.

Certificate of Vaccination

Only the vaccines approved by the Thai Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and World Health Organizations will be accepted. And it shall be at least 14 days before your scheduled travel.

Travel Tips on Traveling to Thailand as Family with Kids

Traveling with kids can be a little bit complicated but worth it experience for the family. So, how to travel to Thailand as a Family with Kids?

Do Research for Family Friendly Locations in Thailand

As mentioned earlier, Thailand offers a lot. There is a wide variety of choices where you could stay for the fun, for travel, for relaxation. Plan your trip, plan where to stay, plan and research everything.

If possible, prepare an itinerary for the whole stay in Thailand and follow the prepared itinerary.

Consider your Family’s Choices

You are traveling as a family, not an individual. You are not the only one who needs the vacation, your children need it too. Consider what is fun for them, not just yours.

Consider the activities that could benefit the whole family.

Prepare Food and Water

Always bring snacks and bottled water with you every time you are going out for an activity. Children can be unexpected sometimes and will need extra care during trips.

There could be a possibility where they do not like Thai food, so prepare foods they like.

Prepare Medications or Medical Kit

Do your children have special needs? Please bring their personal medications and prepare for medical kits. There could be a possibility that you will have a hard time finding medications in a different place like Thailand.

Bring Travel Papers or Required Documents

There could be a possibility where your documents will not only be checked in the airports upon arrival. Documents might be checked by hotels and other establishments that you stumble upon during your stay in Thailand.
