Thailand eases Covid-19 travel requirements for tourists entering country

Footage shows passengers at the Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, on February 24 as the country eased its requirements to enter the country.

Ministers scrapped the requirement for a PCR test on the fifth day in the country. Visitors and returning residents will now need to register for the 'test and go' scheme, which needs a negative PCR test within 72 hours before their flight and a PCR test taken during a one-day quarantine upon arrival in Thailand. Mandatory travel insurance has also been dropped from $50,000 of cover to $20,000.
