No Thailand Pass Registration

One great news from Thailand Authority states that foreign travelers travelling to Thailand will no longer need to do the Thailand Pass registration and the US$10,000 health insurance from July 1; this was a requirement earlier. This requirement was already lifted for Thai nationals from June 1, but was still applicable in case of foreign nationals.

So if you are planning to pack your bags for Thailand, you will only need to show either in print or digital copy of your vaccination certificate or a negative RT-PCR or a professional ATK (Antigen Test Kit) test result within 72 hours of travel.

US Travel: Covid Test not required

In a recent travel update the United States has announced that Covid-19 tests would no longer be needed for international travelers arriving by air. That certainly is a major step in the country's gradual lifting of pandemic restrictions.

Earlier, all travelers needed to show a negative Covid viral test taken shortly before travel or proof of having recovered from the virus in the past 90 days before they boarded their flight. Now you can start making your plans for long awaited US.
