Thailand COVID19

Please send all your documents to our office in: Bern

At the moment all citizens need a visa for Thailand to enter the country and all visitors have to be in quarantine for 2 weeks.
In order to be eligible for entry, you have to follow 3 steps:

1. Step - Visa Application:
   Currently there are only 10 eligible categories for entry into Thailand. Under "List of categories of persons authorized to apply" you will find all 10 categories. For the moment we have listed the two most requested categories. But if you need information about the other categories, please feel free to contact us.
   
   

2. Step - CeO (Certificate of Entry):
   Once the visa is issued, an entry certificate must be applied. We can apply for the CeO for you after the visa has been issued for an additional fee. If you would like to take advantage of this service, we will inform you as soon as possible which additional documents we need.
