Thai Health Minister to Launch Healthcare Registration Scheme for Foreign Nationals and Stateless Individuals
Thai Health Minister Cholnan Srikaew will introduce a registration scheme on January 1 focusing on improving healthcare access for foreign nationals and stateless individuals, particularly in border areas with Myanmar. The scheme aims to streamline access to public hospital coverage and is not for foreign expats or tourists. There are exceptions for certain categories of expats, and rumours of a 300 baht entry tax for foreign arrivals remain unconfirmed.
