Thailand will allow visitors from 46 countries vaccinated against
Covid-19 to forgo quarantine from next month, up from 10 previously announced, prime minister
Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Thursday.
The Southeast Asian country is poised to introduce the new
quarantine-free travel arrangements on November 1 as it seeks to revive its vital
tourism industry.
Last week, Prayuth said that at least 10 countries, including Britain, Singapore, Germany, China and the United States, would be exempt from quarantine.
He did not name the extra countries in a Facebook post on Thursday but said the visitors could skip
mandatory quarantine providing they arrive via air, have been
fully vaccinated and have a document to show they are virus-free.
