		</div><p>Thailand is lifting a pre-arrival registration requirement for foreign visitors that was seen as onerous and a drag on the recovery for its ailing tourism industry.</p>
<p>The government’s Covid-19 centre also said on Friday that an outdoor mask mandate would be dropped as of July 1 except in crowded venues. The mask mandate was not controversial in Thailand and generally obeyed.</p>
<p>Thailand began gradually easing entry requirements late last year. But through April, it still required even fully vaccinated travellers to undergo PCR tests upon arrival and stay in a government-approved hotel for one night until the results were known.</p>
<p>Registering for the Thailand Pass required online copies of vaccination documents, insurance policies and other documents to be submitted, after which visitors would receive a QR code for use during travel.</p>
<p>The requirement had already been dropped for Thais and will be dropped for foreign visitors on July 1.</p>
<p>The registration process, beset at times by delays and glitches, was seen as discouraging tourists to Thailand, where the lucrative tourism sector was battered by the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>Arriving foreigners must still show proof they have been vaccinated or provide negative Covid-19 test results, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration announced.</p>
<p>But a requirement to hold an insurance policy has been dropped.</p>
<p>Many countries in Southeast Asia count on tourism as an important source of revenue, and in the past few months have eased their entry requirements.</p>
<p>Thai health officials said on Friday that 1,967 new cases and 19 deaths related to Covid-19 were confirmed in the previous 24 hours. The country has had more than 4.4 million cases and 30,422 fatalities since the pandemic began.</p>
