The Thai government, as a measure to impulse tourism and decrease the spread of the COVID-19, has released the Thailand Health Declaration (T.8 Form), an official document that you can obtain by applying here.

Note: Since July 1st, 2022, the Thailand Pass is no longer necessary to enter the country.
