If you are unvaccinated and do not want to complete a 5-day quarantine, you will need to complete an RT-PCR test within 72 hours of your travel date and upload the result into your Thailand Pass application for approval.

Is it possible to enter Thailand with a COVID-19 test result from the rapid test method?

Vaccinated travelers will need to complete an ATK rapid test result while in Thailand. It is not required to enter the country.

An ATK test result is not sufficient for unvaccinated travelers who want to avoid the 5-day Alternate Quarantine.

Please note that similar testing techniques, including PCR, qPCR, and RT-qPCR are also accepted.

Do I need to take a pre-departure RT-PCR test to enter Thailand after April 1?

After April 1 you will no longer be required to do a pre-departure RT-PCR test in order to enter Thailand. It is prudent to confirm with your airline carrier and any transit countries if they need a pre-departure RT-PCR test.

After May 1, unvaccinated travelers will need to complete an RT-PCR test if they do not want to complete 5-day Alternate Quarantine.

How much does the antigen test kit cost and who do I pay?

An antigen test kit costs between 50-200 Baht. You purchase an ATK kit from any pharmacy or convenience store in Thailand.

What happens if I test positive for COVID on Day 1 or Day 5 (ATK)?

If you test positive for Covid-19 while in Thailand, you will be notified of how to proceed by medical professionals. The test center or hospital will make all arrangements to admit you to a hospital or suitable hotel (this will be decided on a case-by-case basis). Your expenses need to be covered by your insurance.

Positive Covid cases are assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you test positive on a Day 5 ATK test, you will report to the closest hospital or testing center. Depending on the severity of symptoms, you will be admitted to the hospital or be required to self-isolate in your hotel/accommodation for up to 14 days.

How can I report my Day 5 ATK test result?

On arrival in Thailand you need to download and install the MorChana app:

When you complete your Day 5 ATK test, you will upload the result through the app.

I cannot load my Day-5 ATK result into the MorChana App. What can I do?

If you cannot upload your ATK test result into the Morchana App, speak to reception at your hotel. They will assist with recording the result.

Can I bring an ATK test kit from my home country or do I need to buy it in Thailand?

You can bring a test from your home country, but ATK test kits are available at any pharmacy or 7-11 in Thailand. They cost between 50 – 200 Thai baht.

I have paid for RT-PCR tests but my flights have been cancelled. How do I get a refund?

You can apply for RT-PCR test refund at https://www.thailandpsas.com/refund

Children

I am travelling with children. Can I submit one application for the whole family/group?

All travelers, except children under the age of 18 must apply for Thailand Pass.

What will happen if my unvaccinated child under my Test and Go entry tested positive of COVID?

Covid cases in Thailand are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

If a child is too young to care for themselves, a parent is allowed to stay with them.
If a child is older and can be left unattended part-time, a parent is asked to stay separately from their child to avoid the risk of infection.

If my child is younger than 12, do they need to do an RT-PCR test through the nasal swab method?

No. Children under the age of 12 can conduct their RT-PCR test through other testing methods, i.e. saliva test.

Domestic Airport Transit on Arrival

What is a domestic “sealed flight”?

Before May 1, if you entered Thailand through Bangkok and planned to fly domestically to another location before undergoing your Test & Go, you needed to travel on certain sealed flights.

These flights should be booked as a single international transit itinerary and be a particular flight number.

After May 1, you do not need to book domestic sealed flights to transit inside Thailand.

What are approved sealed flight numbers?

There are several sealed flights available.

Approved sealed flight numbers for Samui begin with PG51xx.

Approved sealed flight numbers for Phuket begin PG52xx.

I booked my flights separately. Do I need to do my 1-night quarantine in Bangkok?

No. After May 1, vaccinated travelers do not need to complete Test & Go or Sandbox. You can book domestic flights to transit from Bangkok on entry.

Will Thailand Pass pick up on flight and quarantine discrepancies?

As part of due diligence, Thailand Pass confirms flight and accommodation details. If you have booked a non-sealed flight to another location and do not show your quarantine in Bangkok, this can lead to a delay or rejection of your Thailand Pass application.

What locations are available with sealed flights?

Sealed flights are currently available from Bangkok to Phuket and Koh Samui.

It looks outdated since Thailand Pass is not needed as of 1 July.
So such as “can not hire taxi in Samui” or “taking covid test after arriving Samui” is not correct any more?
Please confirm.

Hello,

Please can you answer my questions below as confused if we still need to apply for a Thailand Pass and what Covid tests we need to do
1. Our family fly from the UK to Phuket on 10th August via a connection flight in Vienna. Do we have to add Vienna as “Other visited countries within 14 days before arrival”
2. Is BKK our first port of entry into Thailand or Phuket, which do we put as this is a connection flight?
3. We are all fully vaccinated with certificates, do we still need to do a Covid test (if so which one would we need to do and when?)

Hi,

I’ve very recently recovered from covid and I am due to fly beginning of July.

I am not vaccinated and I’m worried that my professional covid test may still show as positive even though I’ve recovered from covid.

Do you accept a covid recovery certificate from unvaccinated travellers?

  Hi Heather,
  
  You can bring you certificate of recovery, if still unvaccinated you need to have negative RT PCR within 72 hours of your flight. If shows up positive , you will send to quarantine facility. Better to get insurance with covid medical coverage with a minimum of USD 10,000.

Our family are traveling to Thailand from the UK to Phuket with a connection flight in Vienna. On the Thailand Pass do I just put the second half of the flight into Thailand on our pass (from Vienna) or do I have to say we visited another country within 14 days ? We are not leaving the airport in Vienna

Secondly, do we put the very first airport we land in Thailand (BKK) or our final destination airport which is Phuket?

Kind regards

additional question:
found this Announcement
“Wednesday, May 25, 2022

Entry Measures for Thai and Foreign Nationals (From 1 July 2022)
– Thailand Pass not required
– Certificate of vaccination or an RT-PCR / Professional ATK COVID-19 test result issued within 72 hours before departure
– Medical insurance not required
– Airlines will check your documents be”

Does that mean that when I fly after 1st of July I do not need thailand pass and an ATK is sufficient which is then checked by my airline?

Reply
1. Rex says:
  
  June 24, 2022 at 4:41 pm
  
  Dear Gerald,
  
  Yes, that is correct. You do not need Thailand Pass. Just come with your passport, visa (if needed) and your COVID test test.
  Thank you.
Gerald says:

June 24, 2022 at 3:45 am

I am unvaccinated. The FAQ says I should apply for Thailand pass not less than 3 days before arrival. At the same time the result of the ATK or PCR test shall not be older than 72h (which is also 3 days). This means I have exactly this 1 second to apply for thailand pass? (since I do not know the exact second I am entering Thailand this is impossible) It seems to be impossible to finish the form without uploading the test result.

The other point is: the FAQ says I do need a PCR and an official ATK test is not suffiecient. In the application form I can also choose ATK. Do I need a PCR or is an ATK sufficient?

Thanks

Hi,

For a layover flight do I need a Thai Pass?

And does staying a night in Thailand Require a pass?

Thanks, Olga

Am fully vaccinated and for Thailand pass I will upload passport, proof of vaccination and proof of the mandatory Covid-19 insurance policy to the Thailand Pass portal.

However, is it mandatory that the hotel booking confirmation is pre-payed or ok to attach confirmation, payment directly at the hotel?

Am traveling on standby basis and therefore exact arrival time/date not confirmed so much in advance.

Thank you for your assistance.

I will be staying in Thailand from 12 June 2022 to 16 June 2022. My Thailand pass says “Valid for Entry until 15 June 2022”. Will this be a problem for me?

Hi,

I am just tested Covid positive fee days ago and my Thailand Pass has approved previously.

May I know if I need to attach any supporting document for Thailand Pass application in future?

Besides that, what extra documents needed to enter Thailand for someone who recovered from Covid-19.

  Hello
  I am travelling to Bangkok arriving in the morning for business and on the same day i have to travel to Vientiane, Laos. Then 2 days later, less than 48h, i will travel back to Bangkok.
  In this case can i use one single Thai Pass for the two entries at thw Bangkok airport? Or do i have to apply to another Pass in Vientiane before traveling back into Bangkok for the second time?
  Thank you

Hi! I just want to know if my fiancé needs to register for a Thai pass because it’s a connecting flight from France, to Thailand, to Manila and then to Cebu city. He needs to wait 2 hours in Thailand airport before his flight here in the Philippines. Should he still gets a Thai pass or not?

I just want to make sure so he will have all the papers that he needs for his travel.

Hello,

We land and depart BKK the same day. (7 hours in Thailand). However, we don’t have a transit flight. We need to clear immigration, collect luggage and check in again.

Do we need Thai Pass or will onward travel ticket suffice?

  Hello,
  
  I do not understand what you mean. I will check in for my flight to BKK in Hong Kong. Then in BKK I will check in for my flight to the UK.
  
  So do I need Thai Pass to clear immigration on arrival and then check in again to depart?

Hi,
I’m wondering if I need a Thai pass if I’m transiting in Thailand.
I booked my flight ticket separately so it’s a self transfer.
And I will have to wait for around 6 hours for the next flight in BKK airport.
May I ask what do I have to prepare ?

Best Regards,

Good Afternoon.
My Thailand Pass QR Reader came after two days. It was labeled “No Quarantine”. However, when I went to register my pass on the the Morchana App. After initial pages and entering my QR Reader, the app came back that “Error, Invalid Thailand Pass Information”. Can you please assist me in this matter.
