A month ago, Thailand had announced that fully vaccinated travellers could visit the country without any quarantine or sandbox. Thailand had reopened its borders for fully vaccinated tourists from over 60 “low risk” countries including India. But now, Thailand has reimposed quarantine for fully vaccinated international travellers in view of the new COVID-19 omicron variant. The nation will not accept any more new applications for the test-and-go programme. Thailand has detected around 63 cases of Omicron, one of which is a local transmission.

Travellers Need To Spend At Least 21 Days In The Approved Nations

Before travelling to Thailand, travellers need to spend at least 21 days in the approved nations. Returning Thais and foreign residents who had previously travelled from Thailand are exempted from this requirement. One thing to be noted here is that direct flights to Thailand from India have not resumed yet. However, IndiGo Airlines and GoFirst have launched charter flight packages to the island country for tourists with prices starting from ₹40,000.
