Ghanaians Can Return to Thailand: Tourists Finally Accepted

The COVID-19 pandemic shattered travel dreams and nearly buried the tourism industry in most parts of the world. However, after an agonizingly long wait, the contemptuous tide is receding in all major world tourist destinations. More so in Thailand where the beautiful scenery is now even more welcoming to the adventurous Ghanian travelers. It is an opportune time for travelers who want to immerse themselves in Thai culture. There are many new incentives for tourism post-Covid. Thailand will no longer require people from other countries to take a COVID-19 test for entry. This is regardless of their vaccine status and began May 1, 2022.

It is now much easier for visitors to visit the beautiful beaches of Phuket or venture into the vibrant streets of Bangkok. If you are one of the thousands of Ghanaians planning to take advantage of the 90-day visa, it is time to rekindle your wanderlust. It is even better for those contemplating long term stay in the alluring country.

Thailand's Re-Opening Strategies

Thailand had been inaccessible for a long time during the outbreak of the pandemic. However, the country has been slowly loosening travel restrictions, allowing some groups of visitors in. It began accepting fully-vaccinated travelers in 2021. In February 2022, the country relaxed the restrictions even further, allowing fully-vaxxed visitors without a quarantine period. It was still a little confusing and caused many travelers to pick different destinations.

The most recent rule change is a huge relief. Travelers who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to apply for entry under the Test & Go scheme. When applying for a visa, foreigners are only required to show their vaccination certificates and proof of insurance. Thai citizens will only require a vaccination certificate.

Travelers who have not been immunized will have two options. The first option requires them to undergo a PCR test 72 hours prior to entering the country. Alternatively, they can quarantine in an approved hotel for at least five days before taking the PCR test on the final day. All other requirements for entry into Thailand, such as a visa and passport, remain unchanged.

Enjoying Thailand

Including Thailand on your vacation bucket list is always a great idea. The land's calming weather is exactly what you need after the agonizing two years of being tethered at home. However, in order to fully enjoy your stay, you should learn a little bit about the country.

It is nearly impossible to pick the best places in Thailand because there’s no end to what’s available. The country is strewn with breathtaking scenery, the majority of which could be on a list of ‘not to miss sites’.
