What is Thailand Pass?
The Thailand Pass system is a free-of-charge web-based system designed to make the documentation process of travelers entering Thailand more efficient and faster. The Thai Pass QR code is required for all travelers entering Thailand.
The application will be approved by the central authorities in Thailand and not the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate. Therefore, please allow sufficient time for approval after registering for the Thailand Pass.
The goal of the system is to help support the country’s “Ease of Travel” system after it reopens and to expedite filling out information and uploading travel documents.
Required Documents for Travel to Thailand
Please have the following documents ready.
- Passport
- Visa (if required)
- Buy Thailand Travel Insurance
- Flight Itinerary
- Hotel Booking Confirmation or Thailand Address
Incorrect documents will delay the entry screening to Thailand.

Who Can Apply for the Thailand Pass
Thai Pass is required for all travelers entering Thailand, whether they be Thai nationals or foreigners.
From May 1, 2022, Thai Pass application and approval requirements will depend on a traveler’s vaccination status.
- Fully Vaccinated travelers will be able to enter Thailand under the No Quarantine program. A vaccinated traveler does not need to book 1 night’s accommodation in an approved SHA+ hotel or complete an RT-PCR test on arrival.Fully vaccinated foreigners will need to provide proof of COVID insurance and their vaccination certificate when applying for Thailand Pass. Thai Nationals only need to provide their vaccination certificate as insurance is not required. Unvaccinated children under 18 years old may travel with vaccinated parents without quarantine. The parents must include the children’s personal information in the application.
- Unvaccinated travelers will have 2 options for entering Thailand:
- Unvaccinated travelers will be able to enter Thailand under the existing 5-day Alternate Quarantine program; OR
- Unvaccinated travelers will be able to enter the No Quarantine program by completing an RT-PCR test and uploading the result into their Thai Pass application. The test cannot be older than 72 hours before their departure date.
What are the Requirements for the Thailand Pass
To support “Ease of Travel’, entry requirements have been eased from May 1, 2022. You can now apply with fewer documents and obtain a QR entry code faster.
The document requirements are listed below.
Vaccinated travelers (No Quarantine)
- Your passport profile page
- A certificate of full (2 doses) vaccination or vaccine card
- A medical insurance policy with at least USD$ 10,000 minimum coverage
Unvaccinated travelers (No Quarantine)
- Your passport profile page
- An RT-PCR test result no more than 72 hours before your departure date
- A medical insurance policy with at least USD$ 10,000 minimum coverage
Unvaccinated travelers doing Alternate Quarantine program
- Your passport profile page
- Confirmed booking of SHA+ hotel 5-day Alternate Quarantine package
- A pre-booked RT-PCR test on arrival (if not included in your package)
- A medical insurance policy with at least USD$ 10,000 minimum coverage
Passport
You must scan your passport or take a photo of your passport profile page similar to this example:
Proof of Vaccination
For vaccinated travelers entering under the No Quarantine program, you must prepare your vaccination certificate or card. The file must be in JPG, JPEG, or PNG.
For unvaccinated travelers who would like to enter Thailand under the No Quarantine program, instead of submitting a vaccination certificate or card, you must submit a negative result of the RT PCR COVID-19 test issued within 72 hours before traveling to Thailand.
Flight Details
The next step of the process is to book your flight to Thailand. Although it is not required to submit a proof of flight booking, the Thai Pass system will require the following information of your flight:
- Country of Departure
- Date of Arrival in Thailand
- Flight Number
- Estimated Exit Date from Thailand
Hotel Booking or Address in Thailand
The Thailand Pass system does not require travelers to provide a hotel booking as well. However, you will be required to provide an address in Thailand. If you will be staying in private accommodation you may provide the address.
For travelers staying in a hotel, we highly recommend using Agoda.com when booking your hotel:
- Bangkok Hotels: https://www.agoda.com/search?cid=1897011&city=9395
- Phuket Hotels: https://www.agoda.com/search?cid=1897011&city=16056

How to Apply for Thailand Pass
The Thailand Pass System is a QR code generating system. To obtain a QR entry code or Thai Pass ID, travelers will have to:
- Register at the official web portal
- Input personal details
- Upload the required documents per their vaccination status
- Receive a confirmation email after registration (within seconds after registration)
- Wait for the approval (normally within 1-3 days)
And if approved, you will receive an email with your QR Entry Code or ID, which you will use upon entering Thailand.
1. Apply for Thailand Pass by Yourself
You may apply for the Thailand Pass directly on the MFA website: https://tp.consular.go.th/
If you have already applied by yourself and you need to check the status, please go to: https://tp.consular.go.th/en/check-status
If you already applied and you still did not get the QR code or you were rejected, please email: [email protected]
2. Thailand Pass Application Service by Siam Legal
Application for the Thailand Pass is free-of-charge and you do not need any assistance to apply for it. However, there may be instances where some individuals may voluntarily choose a paid service provider such as a law firm to provide consultation, assist them to prepare their documents, and submit them on their behalf.
Individuals may encounter problems with their documents that are not being uploaded properly or are deemed unacceptable to the Thai embassy or consulate. This may cause delays or rejection of your application, so it may be helpful to retain a service provider to assist you with the application. These paid Thailand Pass services offered by Siam Legal are listed below.
Step-by-Step Guide for Thailand Pass Application
Thailand has recently reopened the country to travelers, both Thais and foreigners whether vaccinated or unvaccinated. In this newsletter, you will learn about the Step-by-Step Process of Applying for a Thailand Pass.
Step 1: Visit the official website
You may go to the official website: https://tp.consular.go.th/
Once there, you may choose the option of Air Travel or Land Travel.
After that, you will be directed to a page where you can begin your registration:
When you begin the registration, you will be directed to the entry program which is No Quarantine:
No Quarantine program for fully vaccinated travelers entering any international airport or selected land borders in Thailand or unvaccinated who have RT PCR test results issued within 72 hours before departure to Thailand. Unvaccinated children below 18 years old must be added to their parent’s or guardian’s application.
Step 2: Details of your Arrival
In this part, you will provide the purpose of travel to Thailand whether for tourism or if you are a returning resident.
You will also provide your country of departure, airport of arrival, flight number, date of arrival.
Step 3. Provide your Personal Information
In this part, you will provide your full name as stated in your passport or travel document, nationality, passport number, date of birth, contact number, and email address. Please make sure that you check the correct spelling of your personal information before you proceed to the next step. Also in this part, children under the age of 18 years will be added to the parent or guardian.
Step 4. Upload Proof of Vaccination or RT PCR Test
In this part, you will provide your vaccination information. You will provide the name or brand of your latest vaccination. You will be able to upload a JPG or PNG file of your proof of vaccination.
For faster processing of your Thailand Pass, it is recommended to also upload the QR code of your vaccination document if it is available.
Note: If you are you are not fully vaccinated, you may upload a copy of your RT PCR or professional ATK test result in lieu of a vaccination certificate issued within 72 hours before departure.
Step 5: Provide Your Hotel Details or Address in Thailand
In this part, you will be required to provide the details of your address in Thailand or your hotel reservation.
If you are staying in a hotel, you can also validate your reservation if you booked through Agoda.com:
Step 6: Submit your Travel Insurance
In this part, you will provide the COVID 19 Insurance. You must upload the certificate of insurance. Based on experience, it is recommended to use AXA Thailand Insurance as it is the best insurance provider and they will issue a one-page document written specifically for your Thai Pass application.
Step 7: Review the Summary of your Thailand Pass Application
This is the last part of the application process. You will have a summary of your application. Please check all information that you have provided and if everything is correct, you may submit the application.
You will then receive your 6-digit access code which will appear on your screen and it will also be sent to your registered email.
How long does it take to Process the Thailand Pass
The processing time for the application is up to 2 hours depending on the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Disease Control office. There are instances when the registration will take a couple of minutes to a couple of hours. It is recommended to apply for the Thailand pass at least 2 days before your intended departure.
How to Check the Status of Your Application
To check the status of your Thailand Pass application, you may go to: https://tp.consular.go.th/en/check-status
If the status states ‘Reviewing’, it means you need to wait a day or two for the result.
If the status states ‘Approved’, you can download the file or save it on your mobile phone.
Once you have been approved, you can download your Thai Pass QR code or you will also receive it through email. For vaccinated travelers and their dependents, they may use the Thai Pass QR code within 3 days after the estimated arrival date in case of flight delays.
Take note that Thailand Pass is not a visa and it is not a permit to stay in Thailand. It is just a permit to enter Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sample Thai Pass QR Code
Recommended Thailand Pass Insurance
Based on experience, the common problem for the applications being rejected and travelers being denied boarding their flight is that some insurance policies are not properly worded.
Your COVID 19 insurance must expressly state that it covers up to $10,000 USD medical expenses, including COVID 19 related incidents, and it must cover your whole stay in Thailand.
The Thai Pass system only accepts one attachment therefore it is important to have a one-page Certificate of Insurance with all the required information. To purchase the most reliable insurance that has never had a problem with the Thai Embassy or airline, please click the link below:

Top 20 Questions on Thailand Pass
Do we still need RT-PCR on arrival after April 1?
No. RT-PCR will no longer be required for vaccinated travelers when entering Thailand.
Unvaccinated travelers who do not want to do a mandatory 5-day quarantine will need to complete a pre-departure RT-PCR no less than 72 hours before their arrival date and will need to upload the result into their Thailand Pass application.
Is there a list of SHA+ hotels in Bangkok?
You can find a list of approved SHA+/AQ and the list of normal hotels in Bangkok at Agoda.com
When should I begin the Thai Pass process? Will the pass expire?
You should begin applying for your Thailand Pass a minimum of 5 working days before your flight date. Yes, it will expire after 7 days from the date of arrival which is stated in the Thailand Pass.
What is the minimum age children need to do an RT- PCR test?
Starting April 1, 2022 travelers both adults and children are no longer required to undergo a mandatory pre-departure RT-PCR test before traveling to Thailand.
Do I need to upload proof of purchase for an ATK kit as part of my Thai Pass application?
No. ATK tests are self-administered and can be bought from a pharmacy or 7-11stores in Thailand. Currently, the official website advises you have to upload proof of purchase of an ATK test kit, but this is not required.
Am I allowed to leave the hotel room while waiting for my RT-PCR negative result?
If you arrive under the Alternate Quarantine scheme, you are required to stay in your room for the full 5 days. You cannot leave the room until you receive a negative RT-PCR test result on day 5.
How long will I need to quarantine if I test positive for Covid while in Thailand?
You will be required to quarantine for up to 10 days or until your RT-PCR test shows a negative result. A second test will be conducted on day 5. If you have a history of COVID 19 infection, the hotel and hospital will determine if you will not be required to isolate or quarantine.
Can I use an old Thai Pass QR if it has passed the original date of approval?
You can use an old Thai Pass QR if your flight changes by up to 7 days before or after the original arrival date. If your changes are over 7 days, then you need to apply for a new Thailand Pass.
If I am a returning expat, how long should I get insurance?
There is no hard rule for how long you need the insurance. Returning expats are being accepted with policy coverage of 30 days.
Why do I have to use a SHA+/AQ hotel?
SHA+/AQ hotels are approved by the Thai Government as Covid safe with 70-100% of staff vaccinated. These hotels have regulated testing processes in place and are partnered with a hospital or medical facility in the case you test positive for Covid on arrival. Booking an AQ or SHA+ hotel is required for travelers under the Quarantine program.
What cities in Thailand do I get an RT-PCR test at the hotel?
RT-PCR tests are conducted at the SHA+ hotel in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, and Hua Hin or partner hospitals for travelers under the Quarantine program.
What cities do I get an RT-PCR test at the Airport?
Visitors landing in Phuket, Krabi, or Koh Samui are tested at the airport and then transported to their hotel. The test is no longer required for travelers under the No Quarantine program.
How much is an RT-PCR test if I have to book it myself?
An RT-PCR will cost from 1,500 to 2,500 Thai baht if you have to book it yourself.
Can I receive assistance with preparing documents for my Thailand Pass?
Yes. Companies like Siam Legal International provide Thailand Pass services that check and confirm all documents are in order.
Can I land in Bangkok and fly straight to Krabi?
Yes. If you are vaccinated, under the new No Quarantine program, you are free to travel anywhere when you leave the airport.
Can I book a flight to Chiang Mai if I land in Bangkok?
Yes. From May 1, Test & Go is no longer required for vaccinated travelers so you can book domestic transit flights anywhere in Thailand immediately.
Do I have to stay at SHA+/AQ hotels for my entire stay in Thailand?
No. SHA+/AQ hotels are only required for travelers entering Thailand under the No Quarantine program. As long as you have a Thailand Pass, vaccination and insurance, you are free to travel anywhere in Thailand and book any accommodation.

Hi , if I apply for the Thailand pass before the close date can I still us the test and go quarantine system?
Dear Bradley,
Good day.
Applicants who have registered, but have not received their QR Code must wait for their Thailand Pass to be considered / approved. Once approved, they can enter Thailand under the scheme they have registered and approved.
Thank you.
Now that the Test & Go scheme is closed, can I still enter Thailand with the Alternative Quarantine scheme.
Can I quarantine in Bangkok ?
I am from Canada ,,, how long would I have to quarantine ?
Dear David,
The application for the Test and Go is still open for the next 1.5 hours.
If you apply tomorrow or later, the Quarantine Program is for 10 nights.
Thank you.
Hello, I’ve been affected by a flight change – my flight will now arrive a day later, I’ve already rescheduled the hotel booking but obviously the Thailand Pass arrival date will be different. How does this affect the application? Will the thailand pass (assuming it is approved) be valid?
Thanks, James
Dear James,
The Thailand Pass will remain valid for your new flight as long as it is within 72 hours from the original flight. You can also apply for a new one. You still have an hour to do it now.
Thank you.
Thanks James, I head that reapplying can create an issue within the system of duplicated passport numbers – this leads to a rejection – so I am concerned about reapplying. Have you heard this this?
Dear James,
You can apply for two times.
Thank you.
Good afternoon Rex,
Thank you for the reply, I was under the impression that these were only valid until the 10th of January.
This was reported on a Thailand newspaper this morning
Dear Sean,
As of today, your Thailand Pass is valid for the date of arrival stated in the Thailand Pass. If the government cancel the whole Test and Go, for sure you will also hear from us about it.
Thank you.
Good afternoon,
I have flights booked, hotels paid for, Thailand pass approved, but fly out on the 15th of January , will our application be cancelled, even if I want to go to Phuket now instead under the Sandbox scheme.
Regards
Sean (confused from England)
Dear Sean,
Good day.
Applicants who already received their Thailand Pass QR Code can enter Thailand under the entry program they have registered and been approved. Unless the whole Test and Go is totally suspended by the government.
Thank you.
Is it worth applying for a visa pass for my dad he has flight booked for Thursday to see his Thai wife didn’t realise he needed this, he has a negative pcr today and is fully vaccinated.
Dear Julie,
Good day.
Applicants who have registered before midnight of December 22, but have not received their QR Code must wait for their Thailand Pass to be considered / approved. Once approved, they can enter Thailand under the program they have registered and approved.

Dear Anya,
Yes, you can qualify because Japan and UK are both low risk countries.
Thank you.
We travel with our 3-year old. Does he have to do a test before we are travelling as well, or only when we arrive at Thailand?
Dear Suzanne,
Supposedly starting December 16th, the child below 6 years old will only be requiring the COVID test upon arrival but with the new Omicron variant, and new travel restrictions, it is best to have the test before traveling and upon arrival for all of you.
Thank you.
Hi
I am a Thai national traveling from the UK back to Bangkok on 29th of December. In light of the new regulations regarding canceling Test & Go what are my current options? Can I still apply for the Thailand Pass as a Thai national to avoid doing either a full quarantine?

Thank you.
Dear Chanika,
If you apply now, and not waste the time, you can still do the Test and Go.
Thank you.

Hi, I just received a rejection on my Thai Pass. saying: (“Due to please upload paid hotel reservation confirmation that includes PT-PCR test”). I have uploaded my Test & Go confirmation already. Not sure how to proceed when re-registering. Thank You, Michael
Dear Michael,
You only need to apply or submit a new application. Make sure all documents are correct. The hotel booking must expressly state that RT PCR test is included. If you are arriving in Phuket, the RT PCR test is booked separately.
Thank you.
Hello,
We have applied and been granted our Thailand Pass arriving in Bangkok on Dec. 27, 2021. When we arrive will they arrange transport to our approved hotel to wait for our negative COVID test or do we find our own transportation?

Hello, we would like to travel to Bangkok from Chicago in the U.S. We may fly on Turkish Air through Istanbul. However, Turkey is not listed on the eligible countries for no quarantine.

Thank you for helping us understand the no quarantine rules for layovers in travel.
Hi Phil,
If you are just transiting at a Turkish airport, you are eligible for Test and Go or Sandbox schemes.

Dear Thailand Pass Team,
We planned to arrive in Thailand on December 19, 2021 and received QR entry passes

Hi Siri,
Yes, she can travel alone only if she is vaccinated with 1 dose of vaccine no less than 14 days before departure. She will also need to present a RT-PCR test result (issued within 72 hours before departure) upon arrival. However, if your daughter is unvaccinated, she has to travel with her parents.

The uk government does not issue Qr proof of covid vaccination for children, my son is 13 years old and has had a vaccination also he has a Thai passport.
Can he still enter Thailand on the Thailand pass scheme?
Regards
Steve Caveney
Hi Stephen,
Your proof of vaccination does not need to have a QR code. Your son can travel to Thailand by himself if he is vaccinated with at least 1 dose of vaccine no less than 14 days before travelling and must present a PCR test result (issued within 72 hours before departure) upon arrival.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Do I need to get a Visa and Thailand Pass if I am staying in Thailand for 60 days or just the Thailand pass?
Thanks
Hi Jane,
The Thailand Pass is just an entry document during the Covid pandemic, it is not a visa. You will need to apply both for a visa and a Thailand Pass to travel to the country.
Thank you.

Hello,
I have applied for the Thailand Pass and been approved. I have since changed the hotel I will be staying at for my Test & Go package. Should I reapply for Thailand Pass, or is there a way I can update my current Thailand pass.
Thanks you!

Unfortunately you can will have to re-apply for Thailand Pass since your accommodation has changed.

Thank you.
Hi,
I have applied for my Thai pass 4 days ago at the same time as my partner. He has received an approval whereas me and my daughter have not. We are due to fly out on Friday. I am afraid I will not get a response by then. How can I flag my application as urgent?
Dear Afsheen,
Good day.
I believe the reason it took longer for your to get approved is the second applicant being added to your application. As long as the documents you have submitted are correct and properly scanned, you will still receive the Thailand Pass QR code before the departure date.
Thank you.
Hello. I need to get to BKK ASAP as it’s for a funeral (and can prove it). My flight is meant to be on the 16th. As the deaths were very sudden, I was not able to apply eariler.

Thank you.

Hi!
My husband and I will be travelling from the UK to Thailand in January but we are staying in Singapore for 5 days first (London -> Singapore -> Phuket -> London).
Are there any extra entry requirements coming into Phuket via Singapore? We are both fully vaccinated.
Thank you!
Dear Katie,
Good day.
Both UK and Singapore are under the low risk countries. When you apply for Thailand Pass, your country of departure will be Singapore and not UK. You can qualify for the No Quarantine Program.
Thank you.
Hi, I applied for my Thailand Pass last Nov. 18 but it is still being reviewed until now. My flight is on Dec. 3. I have tried emailing [email protected] with all the required detailed such as full name, passport number, and arrival date but still no response from them. Should I re-apply or just wait? I’m afraid I won’t have my Thailand Pass yet on the day of my flight. Thank you in advance!
Dear My,
Good day.
Please allow the Thailand Pass system to review it for 7 working days. There is no need to panic right now.
Thank you.

Greetings. Hope you’re doing well. I’m coming from the US to BKK under the “Test and Go”. Once my PCR test is negative, will I be allowed to go to Koh Samui for the beach vacation or not?
Please note: I’m not participating in the Sandbox program since I’m coming via “Test and Go”.
Thanks,
Aby.
Hi Ahmed,
Yes, after your Test and Go, you will be allowed to travel anywhere in Thailand.
Thank you,
Do you accept MSIG for the insurance requirement.
Dear Jack,
Good day.
Yes, you can use MSIG Insurance for the Thailand Pass application.
Thank you.
Thai AXA Insurance is not available if you were born before Dec 1946. I tried putting in my birthdate in Oct 1946, but it would not except it.
I tried sending an Email to [email protected] on Saturday, and my email was returned, not able to be delivered. Perhaps the site does not accept Emails on the weekend.
Hi Roger,
Please contact AXA directly, the email address you sent to is the Thai government’s, they do not provide health insurance.
Thank you.
Hi All,
My tourist visa is nearly processed and should arrive within the week hopefully. Once I get the visa do I still need to get the Thai Pass as well? Thanks for your help in advance 🙂

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi I’ve put on my pass I’m flying with Thai airways but I’m going with Qatar now on the same dates. Is that ok with my pass?
Hi Ceri,
You will need to apply for another Thailand Pass.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have a client arriving into BKK on the 19th of December at 18:40pm. They are then quarantining and taking a test before flying to HKT on the 20th at 19:10pm. Would this give them enough time for the test results to come back?
Best regards,
Jordan
Hi Jordan,
Please check with your hotel about this. Covid test results usually take up to 24 hours.
Thank you.
Hello,
We are Canadian citizens, living in Canada that are fully vaccinated and plan on traveling to Phuket under the test and go.
On our journey to Phuket we plan on staying about a week Saudia Arabia and then 3 days in Dubai, which are both on the approved list.
Since our direct flight to Phuket will originate in Dubai, we will put that in the Thai pass application.
1) wanted to confirm if the staying in both Saudia (7 days) and Dubai (3 days) prior to Phuket qualify under the 21 days stay for the Thailand pass?
2)Also, can you please clarify if Canadian citizens require a visa for an under 30 day visit for tourist purposes only to Thailand? The Thai site says no, but I have read conflicting info.
Thanks for clarifying!
Hi TI,
1) That is okay as long as you have spent at least 21 consecutive in a low-risk country(s), you will be qualified for Test and Go.
2) Canadian passport holders are visa exempted for 30 days as long as the purpose of visit is solely for tourism.
Thank you.
I will arrive in Phuket from an eligible country. I got the Thai Pass but I changed my flight from one airline to another landing on the same day. Do I need to reapply for the Thai Pass?
Hi Ariel,
You will need to reapply for a Thailand Pass.
Thank you.
My query concerns the identification information required when producing a vaccination certificate as part of the Thailand Pass procedure. COVID passes issued within the UK do not specify passport number, full name or nationality, as required by the Thailand Pass procedure. Is this likely to be a problem, please? Thank you for your expertise.
Hi Tim,
A proof of vaccination must clearly show your full name, date of vaccination and vaccine type.
Thank you.
Hi Tim,
You can provide a screenshot of the PDF from your NHS App. Navigate to your COVID Pass and below your records, download the PDF copy and screenshot this. I did this and my Thailand Pass was approved.
Hi,
We plan to travel to Phuket from Switzerland with transit in Bangkok and have chosen Sandbox Programme. Would there be a Transit hall where we could check in our luggage from Bangkok to Phuket (since we will be flying with 2 different airline) and could we do the local PCR test in Phuket directly (i.e. not in Bangkok) ?
Many thanks for your feedback
Hi Pfeffer,
Unfortunately you are required to do the Sandbox Program in your first arrival city in Thailand before you can travel to Phuket. Otherwise you would have to get a flight that lands in Phuket directly.
Thank you.
Hi.
I already asked two question. But seems to be deleted!
Just wondering if I must enter Thailand at Suvarnabhumi airport for a transfer between two seperate tickets from two different airlines? my stopover will be 8 hours. And I have NO checked-baggage for collection at Carousel.
Hi Mahmoud,
You are required to quarantine at your first arrival city in Thailand which is Bangkok, after then you are permitted to travel to your final destination.
Thank you.
I have applied for the Thai pass but my flight was changed to the next day, do I need to apply for the pass again or could I use the same pass for arrival?
Hi Rocky,
You will need to reapply for a new Thailand Pass.
Thank you.
I am at the web portal for Thailand pass ….it is asking for Access code !
Many websites tell me to go to Thailand Pass for access code , but I cannot have access code until I have the Thailand Pass…!! what the hell !
how do I get the access code ?
Hi Dave,
Please make sure you are applying on the correct website. Please visit, tp.consular.go.th.
Thank you.
Dear Ma’am/Sir
Good day! I would like to confirm if Bermuda (Sovereign State of United Kingdom) is included in the “List of Eligible Countries for No Quarantine”? Am I safe to assume that since it is a UK territory, fully vaccinated travelers from Bermuda will be allowed to enter Thailand with the quarantine-free program? I hope you could provide a prompt and helpful answer.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Best regards,
Hi Therese,
Unfortunately Bermuda is not on the list of low-risk countries and you are not exempted from quarantine. You can however participate in the Sandbox Program where you have to spend 7 days in a specific area. The Sandbox areas include Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, islands, and most tourist destinations.
Thank you.
I am flying to Bangkok from London via Dubai where I change planes and I am at the airport in Dubai for about 3 hours. What should I put as my country of departure for the Thailand Pass?
Thanks
Hi Sarah,
If you are just transiting in Dubai, please put UK as country of departure.
Thank you.
Can I transfer in Phuket? Arrive with TG953 and change to TG 927?
Dear Richard,
I am not sure what do you mean. Do you want to transit in Phuket?
Can I fly from UK to Qatar, stay in Qatar for one week and then go to Samui.
Fully vaccinated traveler from UK – I suppose since both UK and Qatar are on your ‘safe list’, this works in terms of your 21 day requirement to stay in one of the countries on your list?
Thanks
Dear Richard,
Yes, you can do that. The country of departure will be Qatar not UK when you apply for Thailand Pass.
Thank you.
I have had my e- visa application approved by the London Thailand embassy and they have sent me an confirmation email with the details and qr code on the bottom of the email is this document OK to use for my Thailand pass application as there is no visa?
Dear Phillip,
That is your visa. That is needed for the Thai Immigration. That is not Thailand Pass. You still need to get Thailand Pass for the Health Officer at Bangkok or Phuket airport.
Thank you.
Hi,
Is it possible to submit/apply Thailand pass during weekend? or weekdays but after work hour like 7pm onward? Would that be an issue if I am doing it that way? Thanks
Dear Hendra,
Good day.
Yes, you can apply for Thailand at any time of the day.
Thank you.
How do I answer the question; the first arrival port in Thailand when I am coming from Dubai with a 1h30m stop in Phuket but destination is Bangkok?
Am I correct in saying that Bangkok is my first arrival port?
Hi Caterine,
If you do not disembark from the aircraft in Phuket and your flight continues on to Bangkok then Bangkok is your first arrival port.
Thank you.
Hello! Is it possible to travel from Sweden to Thailand with transfering in Turkey, and then go to a test and go hotel?
Hi Jonas,
Yes if you are just transiting at a Turkish airport you are permitted to do Test and Go.
Thank you.
can i fly without thailand pass?
Hi Marek,
If you are exiting Thailand you do not need a Thailand Pass, however if you are entering the country you will need to apply for a Thailand Pass at least 7 days before your departure date.
Thank you.
I am flying from the USA to Phuket, connecting in Bangkok. I am fully vaccinated and will be utilizing the Thailand Pass. Two questions: 1) If I stay airside at BKK can I continue on to Phuket the same day without testing and receive my test at the Phuket airport? 2) Since I have a 12 hour layover/connection in Bangkok, is it possible to book a room for the day at a BKK airport Test & Go hotel, receive my (presumably) negative test, and board my flight that same night continuing to Phuket?
Hi Jamie,
No, you must do Test and Go at a hotel in Bangkok before you are allowed to travel to Phuket. The test results will take a day to complete and you will most likely need to spend a night in Bangkok and leave in the noon next day. Please check with an AQ/SHA+ hotel for more information.
Thank you.
Dear Sir
Can you please advise if you are aware of how to resolve booking problems for the RT-PCR test through thailandpsas.com. I have tried many times and continue to to be told: “9055: Your payment session has expired, please return to merchant page and attempt payment again.”
Thank You
Mr Tala,
Please apply for Thailand Pass at tp.consular.go.th.
Thank you.
Hello. I have applied for a thaipass and now its been 12 days and still no email with a QR code. No email or anything. Just the confirmation
“Dear Mr. Martin Lucas Hansen

Dear Martin,
Good day.

Thank you.
How long is the Thai Pass App valid? I travel to Thailand by end of January! Can I apply for that ThaiPass now?
Dear Ernest,
Good day.
The Thailand Pass is valid for travel based on the date of arrival stated in the QR code. However, in case of flight cancellation or delayed flight, the Thailand Pass will remain valid within 72 hours from the original flight time. You may apply for the Thailand Pass as early as 30 to 45 days before your travel date.
Thank you.
Hi, is there any reason why any of my questions I post get deleted EVERY time? They are valid, sensible questions which makes it very frustrating
Dear Ian,
Your comment was not deleted. We just did not have the time to post the comments and answers.
Thank you.
Hi, do I need to apply for a Thai Pass if I am only transiting via Thailand between Australia and South Korea? I will not be leaving Bangkok airport.
Thanks.
Dear Junior,
Good day.
No, you do not need a Thailand Pass if you are transiting for less than 24 hours and you do not need to clear immigration or passport control. You only need a COVID test and insurance for transiting in Bangkok Airport.
Thank you.
To qualify for “exemption to quarantine” it says you must have been in a listed country for 21 consecutive days. If I have returned from a trip to the USA, can I fly to Thailand 18 days later, given both USA and UK are on the list of eligible countries for no quarantine? I am fully vaccinated.
Hi Stewart,
Yes that is okay and you are eligible to do Test and Go.
Thank you.
Hi,
I am fully vaccinated and from one of the eligible countries for NO Quarantine. My main destination is Phuket. I am confused if I should select Phukhet sanbox program to apply for Thailand pass or I can choose the ” Test and Go ” ? My reason is to avoid the mandatory 7 nights hotel stay under Phuket Sandbox program before traveling to Bangkok
thank you
Hi RC,
If you are fully vaccinated and have spent at least 21 consecutive days in a low-risk country you can participate in Test and Go where you have to spend one night at an AQ/SHA+ hotel to await your RT-PCR test results.
Thank you.
Hi,
if i am travelling through SINGAPORE and staying there for a few days prior to BKK arrival does that make me still eligible for the quarantine free period in Thailand? I am flying from SYD – SIN – BKK. The rules say 21 days in the nominated countries qualify but unsure if that means if you have to be 21 days in each country ?
thanks
Hi Ramona,
Yes you are eligible for Test and Go.
Thank you.
Hi.
I will be applying for 60 days visa, from Canada.
Do I apply first for the visa or Thailand pass code?
Thank you.
Hi James,
You have to apply for both. A visa will permit you to stay in Thailand for more than the 30 day visa free period whilst a Thailand Pass is a travel document that grants you entry into Thailand.
Thank you.
Can I buy Covid-19 medical insurance upon landing at Bangkok ?
Dear Yan,
Good day.
Unfortunately that is not possible. You need the insurance when you apply for Thailand Pass. You cannot travel to Thailand without Thailand Pass.
Thank you.
Hello
I plan to travel to Thailand in March 2022. I plan to use Singapore airlines via a three hour stop in Singapore is this allowed.
Hi Russell,
Yes that is okay and you will be eligible for Test and Go or Sandbox Program.
Thank you.
do you have to have a direct flight to Thailand or not.
Dear Bob,
Good day.
Yes, there are direct flight to Thailand from UK, Singapore, UAE, Qatar, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, The Netherlands and other countries. If you are from the UK, you can choose, Thai Airways or even British Airways.
Thank you.
Hi Bob, no you don’t need to fly direct. I asked the Thai consulate in London and you’re permitted to transit. I asked the consulate specifically about transiting via Dubai en route from London. I’ve since found information on the Royal Thai embassy London website that indicates some restrictions such as stopover time needing to be less than 12 hours, and you must not go through security/ immigration control during the stopover. You are permitted to transit through a non-listed country.
