Thailand Pass - The Full Guide

- Here’s the website for the Thailand Pass.
tp.consular.go.th
Here you can upload required documents including your vaccination certificate and medical insurance with minimum coverage of US$50,000.
You can get that insurance from a range of insurers at thethaiger.com
Here’s the link for your options….
thethaiger.com/covid-19/thail...
It will take 1-7 days for approval of your Thailand Pass. Once approved, a QR code is generated which the traveller can use as they enter Thailand.
You’ll have to download the Mor Chana app on your phones. The app automatically evaluates your risk daily whilst in Thailand. You’ll need to have the app data set to ON.
From the airport to your approved AQ or SHA+ hotel, you’ll be picked up by the hotel, you can’t jump in a normal taxi. They’l be waiting for you as you depart the airport.
The approved hotel will provide the RT-PCR test, in conjunction with a local hospital.
Fully vaccinated Thai or foreign residents can’t quarantine in their homes for the first night after they arrive in Thailand. They must stay in an approved SHA+ hotel until they receive a negative test result. It’s the same for everyone at this stage.
If the result is positive, they will be sent to a hospital or an AQ hotel, at your expense… so check the fine print on your Covid insurance.
Travelling with children
Children under 12 years of age, travelling with their parents, aren’t required to have a vaccine certificate.
For children older than 12, a vaccine certificate and medical insurance is required.
Medical insurance
Only Thai nationals aren’t required to have medical insurance because any medical costs incurred by citizens will be covered under Thailand’ universal health care system.
The same insurance exemption now applies to foreign residents who already have medical and health insurance in Thailand.
You’ll need to ensure that your insurance policy does not only specify Covid-19 health coverage, but other general illnesses and hospital expenses.
Visitors from 63 countries and territories
Fully vaccinated travellers from the 63 listed countries and territories are required to have stayed at least 21 days in one or more of THOSE countries before travelling to Thailand.
But fully vaccinated local and foreign residents can travel to to one of the 46 countries for a shorter period and then return. You’re not required to stay a full 21 days in that country.
But that exemption doesn’t apply to local and foreign residents who visit countries that aren’t on the list of 63 eligible countries or territories.
Transit passengers
For transit passengers passing through countries that aren’t on the list 63 approved countries or territories, they can continue their trip to Thailand IF the transit period does’t exceed 12 hours and if they stay in the airport.
Exemption from Quarantine (Test and Go)
Travellers from eligible countries / territories only
Exempted from quarantine after testing negative for COVID-19 after arrival in Thailand.
You will need to stay at your hotel until your negative test result comes back.
This one’s important… You’ll need to have travelled from a port in eligible country / territory and have stayed in eligible countries / territories for at least 21 consecutive days
You’ll need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 no less than 14 days before travelling
You’ll need to obtain a negative COVID-19 test result, issued within 72 hours before travelling
Now for the Sandbox Program
So the Sandbox program is still going and allows a lot more options… including that you can come from anywhere in the world, not just the approved low-risk countries.
Travellers from any country / territory
You’ll need to stay in the Sandbox area for 7 days and then will be able to travel in Thailand.
The Sandbox areas now include….
Bangkok
Buri Ram
Chiang Mai
Chon Buri
Krabi
Loei
Nong Khai
Phangnga
Phetchaburi
Phuket
Prachuap Khiri Khan
Ranong
Rayong
Samut Prakan
Surat Thani
Trat
Udon Thani
You’ll need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 no less than 14 days before travelling
You’ll need to have a negative COVID-19 test result , issued within 72 hours before travelling
Alternative Quarantine
Now for the final option which is available for everyone else, including people who haven’t been vaccinated.
It’s now simply called Alternative Quarantine… at one stage they did call it Happy Quarantine but they’ve decided to get rid of the silly name and just call it what it is!
Travellers from any country / territory
Stay in quarantine for 10 days and then will be able to travel everywhere in Thailand after your 10 day stay.
YES ridiculous as hell.....pay in advance for hotel, insurance, etc...and get denied.....
There is at least current option for arriving in a country and immediately heading for a beach, it's Mexico.
Not true Dubai, turkey, Mexico, USA you can come in and head to hotel and bar straight. I just landed in dubai 4 hours go and head to mall since my room was not ready. At most you may need to do pcr test before flight and one upon arrival. Thailand where I have been there 40 plus time seems too much work at this time to enter. Nov 1 to 15 and I am traveling 4 countries and not a single one I have to go through these steps. Hope entering thailand will ease up in the future. Usa you can do pcr test in 1 hour, dubai 4 hour and bangladesh also 6 hour. It's much faster now and hassle free.
Did you say quick and easy….is this a paid commercial from the junta? Seriously? You’d have to be supremely desperate to put up with all that BS….time to play the waiting game….maybe never!
To many hoops to enter Thailand. I love Thailand 🇹🇭 but I can't see this working.
Too much trouble....... Wait until next year !!!!!!!!!!!!
Tim we've been going to Mexico getting visas on arrival since July of last year. I been there 6 times since covid. no test, no Coe Just land and head to the beach.
@Mark United we wouldn't be here if we didn't. The point was the correct what Tim said.
Thailand must do better before I decide to go there again.
The very fact that you need a guide to visit the country as a tourist shows you how successful this scheme will be. Spoiler alert - It will fail miserably. If you think tourists are willing to go through so many hoops and still gamble their vacation on the result of the pcr test upon arrival (for example, false positives, the guy sitting next to you on the flight testing positive for covid, etc.) then prepare for a very bad tourist season
I agree.
You are spot on. Guy traveling next to you can land you in hospital for 14 days at your expense and you had only two weeks vacation. It's damn risky to go there.
Unnecessarily cumbersome. Maybe go in January if they eased the hassle.
Ye be good then. Sat in bars and go go bars 50% occupancy, Social distancing all wearing face masks 😷 Be better renting a nice hotel room and have your Tinder skills razor sharp by then. If we are lucky we may not have to be home and incarcerated by midnight.Lots of other incredible countries will be open and hot girls of the night with fuck all restrictions! I don't wear a mask or social distance these days so why would I pay thousands to go back to that way of life?🤔
That’s rubbish,,, why should we pay for everything and then they say no! Well no thanks.
YES ridiculous as hell.....pay in advance for hotel, insurance, etc...and get denied.....
why they going to say no to you. idiots can enter.
@@Zeeian apparently have been denying applications. Which is no words for it after u have paid for everything. Watch integrity legal.
@@Azzow15 im booked flights dec 20. w hen i have hotel. vac ready i will book thailand pass
@@Zeeian they have been denying pass applications. What then?
Not true. Mexico has no restrictions. Never had. Easy to travel. No pass or covid requirements.
Cause Mexico don’t care and Covid is bad there they just don’t give a shit
Bit optimistic to say Thailand has never looked better
Sorry Tim but you don't seem to have a clue as to the difficulties, faults and lack of info. The server error is the least of the problem. You said that you will need to upload your Visa if you have taken the Sandbox option. THERE IS NO PLACE TO UPLOAD YOUR VISA!!! Is that clear? (Nothing personal, i'm just being driven mad) You also state the Sandbox hotel booking includes the PCR test and rapid test. Dusit Thai specifically say this is not true and you have to book separately and no, this was not a conversation in english but in Thai with the manager today.
dont shoot the messenger..
@@CarigisX And don't tell him his info is false? Tim is a great guy but he can still be wrong and we should not mislead people even unintentionally
@@MarkFiddian whats false? seems like he covered every required steps. visa isnt required for thai pass you get that separately. one without the other and your not getting in. doesn’t need to be uploaded. you be assured immigration and your airline especially will check a dozen times.. booking does include pcr test in most of the country. phuket however does it at the airport and requires a seperate purchase at thailandpsas. hope this helps
Each SHA+ hotel is different and they have either a Package or just a Room Booking. The pricing reflects this and is stated in the Booking also. You can find them easier by searching AQ Hotels which has lists for each province. You are allowed to arrange your own PCR but that is clearly complex. Those which include PCR also do Airport Pickup including to Pattaya which is a saving over doing it direct to Bangkok if not wanting to stay there.
Tim needs to look at the Thailand pass website again. There is no part of the test & go application that’s asks for a Thai visa to be uploaded.
Done mine. The 1 confusing part is to Drag&Drop files as it only shows you have added your last one. That is really not a good clear indication it has all files. Also it does not state if the Max File Size of 5MB is for each 1 or ALL. Typical ambiguous work by govs whom "tested" all this.
@@bertied2305 yup, I even added my 2nd Hotel and then my first one again as the one it shows as added.
Sorry, but some of this is wrong. You can fly into Spain from just about anywhere, get your passport stamped or just looked at, and head straight to the beaches. Or the bars. Or the restaurants, or the cinemas , or the theatres, or....... That is why Spain had 4.7 million visitors in September alone (last data), lowest season, which Thailand will still be dreaming about this time next year. Similarly in Costa Rica, if you want the tropics - 90 days on arrival for most people!
Same with Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. Thailand requirements are preposterous!
@@williamdahl3318 Definitely! We all know what Thailand has been up to. Ripping tourists off because they think that they deserve extra because they made nothing last year. Quarantine was between 9,000 and 100,000 baht for 14 days!!!! Now it is 4,000 to 7,000 for 1 night. A reasonable, small condo, anywhere, is available for that for a month. Right now there are 40 to 60 m2 condos near the beach for 9,000 baht. Who does TAT think they are kidding???
@Mark United That's for sure!
@Mark United Stupid comment. My response was to demonstrate to the Thaiger guy that his comment "You can't do this anywhere in the world right now" ( concerning entry without pcr, quarantine etc) was completely wrong. You need to make some connections!
Please stop this nonsense!!!! 😪😭
For us or for them. Please clarify?
Still too much for me. I wont stay in a predefined hotelfor one night and I dont want any chance of mandatory quarantine. I am more than happy to wait until it gets easier.
You are wrong about being able to show up, get a stamp and go anywhere. Loads of countries are open like that at the moment.
@Mark United Yes they are, ive just got back from Malta, there were no tests there. And I have booked to go somewhere else - Mexico where you also can just show up and enter.
Why are you whining? Why do you care if I go to Thailand or not?
Think I will wait a bit longer to much aggro with all this pass crap
Sure it is. Mexico has no restrictions at all.
Buy,plenty of battling drug gangs who couldn't careless about collateral damage that gets in the way.
One of the most dangerous countries in the world.
you call the "Thailand Pass" quick and easy, however, many people would disagree with you. Many have had to cancel flight and hotel reservations incurring unnecessary costs and start the process over. You even had a quest who is a "tech", that described the "Thailand Pass" as anything but easy.
I meant that having the Thailand Pass made entry into Thailand quick and seamless. I totally agree that obtaining the Pass is a royal pain in the ass.
You are wrong, there are plenty of countries where you can travel to as long as you have a vaccination certificate. For many, that's it. You step off the plane and off you go! It is just not so in Asia.
What happens if u don't own a cell that loads apps. Just have flip phone. Looks like Mexico much easier to go to
Sorry Tim Mexico and Columbia are visa upon arrival Bars and nightlife are open! Affordable Covid-19’s test and results in less than a hour emailed to you to return home if your required to have one to get back in your country!
Go there please
I’ll be going there
@Mark United go Sri Lanka, visa on Line,bars open.
Desperately need a holiday but do I really need to jump those hoops to get it? Nah,.
Yup ... that situation is completely available in Mexico.... just a temperature check and you're in.... no silly bollocks
True. Never had restrictions in mexico.
@@walleye364 ye the most dangerous place in the world.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 where ppl tell you not to go.... because its one of the most free counties on earth with a government that rejects the diabolical influence of big pharma
None of this matters as the Thailand Pass website still doesn't work.
I arrived in Bangkok 8am Saturday morning, was in my AQ airport hotel just after 9am. I checked in at Heathrow with a COE, shortly after that i received my approved Thailand Pass. That really made the entry process seamless and quick. Had my PCR test at the hotel on arrival, was told i would get the result on Sunday, but possibly by end of Saturday.
I’m staying at the Amaranth Suvarnabhumi Hotel, was met by a member of their staff just i walked out from the baggage reclaim area. Splendid hotel. Good food, and service.
Do me a favour and ask the hotel what we are suppose to do with the self test at day 6-7 do we need to upload it ? And if so where because the Morchanna app doesn't have any upload options... The employee at the hotel were i stayd said no upload needed but i read different things on the internet so its a bit confussing...
@@mrJTx. i was given a small slip of paper with an email address, that after doing the ATK test, i have to take a photo of the test kit showing the result, and upload it as an attachment to the email address given
How much is hotel.
@@shyamathevar4226 6900 for 1 night
It's nuts to go there right now. Not only the additional costs & hassle but if you get a positive PCR test while there, you azz is going to be forced into a very very expensive hospital quarantine (even if you don't have any symptoms.)
There are supposed stories of people being hit with many thousands in hospital bills because their insurance company didn't pay out as they weren't sick. Whether true or not, being forced into a billed hospital stay regardless of whether it's needed or not should be enough to keep any sane person away.
Still a no go holiday destination then, far to much trouble,money and things that could go wrong and ruin your holiday and possibly your job back home, rather go to most other countries without as much hassle or expense
yes I'm in Colombia. its buzzing and no entry restrictions at all
Not coming till opened up with out all paper work and staying in a hotel for 7 days Maldives here we come
You wrong about not available anywhere in the world, I been arrived in Cancun Mexico in 2020 and no quarantine no test no insurance and 6 month visa on arrival. The world and specially Thailand needs research Mexico and learn a few things.
@Mark United these are the FUD the stupid Trump spread during his time, there are more drugs and crime in any major cities in USA than any part of Mexico, stop spreading miss information about Mexico
@@Myfilipinaqueenandpersianlion wwweeelll, lets break it down: does Mexico have more violent drug cartels then anywhere else on the planet ✔️ does mexico experience more kidnapping than almost anywhere on Earth ✔️ with regards to drugs are we talking usage (undoubtably the US/the west, or drug violence - again mexico ✔️ I am certainly no Trumo fan but he did not make these facts up.
Good informative video. Sadly still too much of a hassle to go.
Don't go then - more Thailand for me :) It took me 20 minutes to complete and get a QR code.
alot of hoops to jump through. If you get a positive test result or even a false positive result oh boy there goes your vacation
@@baconoverflow4384 lol.. must be nice to have a vax card with a qr code to get instant approval.. ive only been waiting 6 days now just about
You'd only say that if you hadn't actually experienced the problems of course. Tim is incorrect on several points.
@Dwayne D That was only directed at the OP to be honest. His comment was 1 minute after the video was uploaded so clearly he didn't even watch it. I'm just tired of people who constantly complain. It isn't that hard to jump through the hoops.
Keep the faith with your Thailand Pass applications- I do agree with concerns re cost and bureaucracy, but I have sunk cost in holiday that insurance won't compensate-- so I need to fly next week . I did my Thailand pass last Saturday and got the QR code within 4 days. The system now gives you a reference and more guidance on how to do it properly. Echo comments hoping these requirements are phased out soon !
Let us know how you go getting in to thailand thanks bro🙏🙏
@@smoken7992 Am here ! Thai Airways ok no document glitches
Conrad ok but was a bit like a prison for 24 hours. Good food lovely room.but crap tv. Airport very quick and honestly pretty well organised
Negative test means freedom so sailing starts tomorrow. Mask compliance in BKK very strong as expected. Sadly many shops gone during covid in bkk
I think I’ll wait.
Long live KPOP 🤩
You make it sound easy to wait for 7 days for approval for the pass. But it could be 10 days since it is 7 business days.
I eventually registered at 5pm on 1st Nov, received email with the Pass at 9.30am on 5th Nov. I did however have a COE in reserve that i used to checkin with at London Heathrow airport at 8.30am , got the Pass just after i had checked in.
I applied today and 4 hours later had the approval and QR Code
@@akbugeater that is great. What insurance did u use
@@jimmiebybee1464 AXA Sawasee Thailand insurance
All this info is good, however, the big grey area is expats living and who have a Thai wife in Thailand that want to return home to visit family. According to your report you must provide $50000 US health insurance cover to re-enter Thailand. In my case I dont have heath insurance in Thailand, I do have covid insurance. So, is the government forcing me to take out some sort of travel health insurance for how long? nobody knows, just to return to my place of residency? As usual the government has come up with a half arsed, quick fix solution for tourist without consideration for anyone else. Amazing Thailand.
It sounds like you are not therefore a Tourist so come under the required Expat/Retired Medical Insurance Schemes.
@@macmusica Not required for me. I live here for 6 years already.
So basically the Thailand Pass requires everything the COE required. Just calling it something else.
It's much easier the COE!
Converting pdf to jpeg is easier than COE?
Ok people with apple won’t get stuck I guess
@@harrymcfadden2572 oh you princess,just print out any pdf documents and scan them as jpeg or png at any library.
Doesn't ask for visa (strangely)even though that say you do
Calling it something else and make it a one time upload instead of 2 step upload.
Flights, 3 months accomadation (stv), covid certs, insurance, visa fees, all to be paid before you enter this crazy system of errors......pulling my hair out ....all for the land of the smiles,,dont mention having to convert everything into jpeg my Mrs hasnt spoke to me in a week,,,STRESSED TO ......
Don't forget the PCR test at least 72 hours before your flight (in my country it costs 79.95 EUR pp)
Hahaha feel your pain mate sounds like a nightmare. Were not going till Feb just wondering we have prepaid for about 14 hotels on agoda for the 3 month stay is there a option to upload all confirmations?
ill leave it another 12 month thank you very much
Supposed to be a holiday!
"for the tourist that just wants to arrive at the airport, get a stamp in their passport and head to the nearest beach or bar, that situation is not available at the moment. That situation isn't really available anywhere in the world right now"....I literally just went to Gran Canaria from the UK and I did exactly that. I landed at the airport, got my stamp, and went to the nearest beach and bar. I wanted to go to Thailand but unless they make it as easy as it is for me to go to the canary islands, then I'll always be hesitant to go to Thailand. Next stop, Tenerife! Note: I am fully vaccinated
yeap its available in so many places, thinking of cancelling my trip as a result, gutted.
thank you very much for the info, all this tells me is: no need to go to Thailand now, plenty of many other places with almost no restrictions, let them figure out what they want to do with their country and then travel next year, Thailand is probably going to be in the same place it is now but with less headaches
MEXICO, COLOMBIA, NO PROBLEMS like entering Thailand.
Hey Tim and team, thanks for all your work and information. You guys do a good job from my perspective as well as from most of my friends here in TL. Thanks again 🙏🏼
Tim sorry but you are wrong. bars are open in the u.s. so you can come get a stamp in your passport and head to the bars for drinks. bars also open in Japan, Korea, and Mexico.
AND bars have been open IN Phuket. ive seen live streams of people enjoying alcoholic beverages at bars and restaurants in Phuket.
Sadly, it looks like it'll be a long time till I can return to Thailand
Spain easier to get in than Thailand
Cant get TP or visa without hotel booking. Cant get hotel booking without insurance or air ticket..
this is my third day trying to get conformation for my hotel, they are asking for my swab test results that I'm supposed to get 72 hours before I fly,, This whole system is just full of CATCH 22s
They are asking you for the swap test booking you got to get in your airport you land at in Thailand lol. I done all mine no problems going next sat ,
@@Dave-wl1hy Yes. but you don't get it till 72 hours before your flight, doesn't give you much time to get everything else.
No they not looking for your test you hey to fly 72 hours before , I have my pass got and I do not get my test untill next Friday the day before I fly , you need to book the swap text for the airport in Thailand for when you land , You also need to pay up front for hotel and flights and have your insurance got , the 72 hour test before you fly you get and show at airport you fly from , you do not need that to get the pass code ,
@@Dave-wl1hy( this is what the hotel wants. )
Medical certificate with a laboratory result specifying that a RT-PCR test has been done and COVID-19 is not detected, issued no more than 72 hours before your initial departure......the TP wants the hotel booking confirmation....
...........so how do you do that?....
@@Dave-wl1hy Do you need to attach the swab test payment to the Thailand Pass application even with the test & go category? (the 63 countries no quarantine)? because there is only a place there to upload the hotel reservation and that's it
You managed to have a "Full Guide" without letting people know that the Thailand Pass does not currently accept PDF's. All docs must be JPEG.
Thank you so much for this information and being very clear and concise. You truly provide a valuable service👍
Great video! Thanks for the info!
if any American can tell me if PCR-NAAT test is acceptable let me know, i fly tuesday night. there's very few places that call it and do a RT-PCR test, Ive had nedical people tell me they don't understand what I mean, they do the PCR-NAAT test for travel
How does it work for transferring in Bangkok to, for example, sandbox in Samui? Do I need to book it on one ticket and stay airside at BKK or can it be booked on multiple tickets?
TWO ITEMS:
(1) The link graphic at 2:11 of this video says "ovid-19" and is not only missing the "c" (for "covid"), but is also missing the "y" at the end of the link (it is correct in the info section above); and
(2) I arrive in BKK at 12:05am on 12/17 and all of the hotels I have considered booking for that first 24 hours appear to have check-in times at noon or thereafter, which would put me in a lobby for 12-14 hours. Any suggestions for BKK area hotels which will permit me to check-in at 2 AM?
Revised: Wait - the summary above says if I book a SHA+ hotel, they will pick me up. Why can't I find any SHA+ hotels on Expedia??? If you can suggest a better resource listing of BKK-area SHA+ hotels , I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your attention / time IF this gets a response...
We got our full vaccine certificate I one certificate.
But the Thailand pass is asking to upload the 1st vaccine certificate.
Which we don't have.
As because they gave us only one 2/2 prifzer vaccine.
Please advise.
Am travelling on the 7th dec.
You've don't it again confused me.
You said download your passport and your visa, other blogs say it thai pass only accepts one attachment. So if you download passport first then visa. It will only remember your visa. Registration failed. Which is true 1 or 2 attachments.
Thanks for this we are coming in December and getting all in order
How long in advance can you apply for the Thailand Pass? The FAQ page only says at least 7 days in advance. But how long in advance can you really do it? Flight tickets are cheaper the earlier you can book them, leaving you more money to spend in Thailand, just what the Thai government wants. So they should support us by allowing very early registration so we can support Thailand and not other countries airlines. Does anyone have an answer to this question? is it 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks or even 8 weeks in advance?
Question ... can I use my Samsung s20 mobile phone to upload my documents onto Thailand Pass if I just take photos of all my documents that would be in JPG format which is basically the same as JPEG ... As all I keep watching on RUclips is download via a computer ie laptop or desktop computer
I applied with my mobile just took screenshots of docs
Worked a treat got my qr in 3hrs
As I understand it, there are many more Sandbox areas than there are International airports? How is Buriram a sandbox area? Would you have to organise a private taxi from Bangkok airport?
Has anyone received there pass using hotmail I know you don't receive a process confirmation ...
I need to be sure that my insurance covers me if I get a positive test when I land. Many won't cover you if you have covid when you land. Do you have a list of insurers that cover you immediately on landing even if you get a positive test?
my travel insurance is given to me when I pay for airfares with my American Express Card-- it far exceeds the 50'000 $us required -- so how do I prove that ?-- there is no paperwork given to me -- no real help from Amex customer services -- did not seem to understand the problem -- just repeated " your booking is the proof"-- cant see Thai Pass accepting that --??
Don't bother with the BS, go somewhere else.
Please do
@@dougdavis8986 He just said that he would. lol Vote with your wallet. The real question is, how long will the Thai govt be able to hold out from receiving those sweet, sweet tourism dollars/baht?
I am reading lots of pages of instructions on how to apply for Thai Pass but not heard or read a word about how long I can stay in Thailand. Typical government thinking , they get a paycheck but don't care about all the people out of work, or how ridiculously troublesome it is to enter Thailand . I want to get there and spend my money around their country for several months as I have done for 35 years. Do we need a visa before arrival , if so what is the process for obtaining one now?
From what I understand you can now once again obtain a visa on arrival if you are coming for the purpose of tourism. Unfortunately however I cannot remember how many days a tourist visa is initially good for in Thailand.
Hello all If you are a UK / British citizen , fully vaccinated and coming to Thailand for 2 weeks. Do you need to get a thai visa before travel or we can land without the need of a thai tourist visa? I heard they may be a no visa exemption for less than 30 days
You don't need a visa for a stay of less than 30 days
Thanks Tim, great to have it all in this one vid.
Lots of people saying one must have prepaid covid test on arrival to Phuket but I can't find information on how to prepay and where it's done . Any help would be appreciated
You need to arrange a PCR test 72 hours before you arrive. Those tests can be booked locally to you, but check the prices before you book.
goin on six days wait now. hope they are not taking the weekend off… which i am 99 percent sure they are.
thanks for the vid.
Hello. I live in a country which is not part of the list of 63. I am fully vaccinated. I want to stay in Cambodia for 3 weeks, then take a flight from Phnom Phen to Bangkok. Could I benefit from TEST and GO?
We were supposed to be going on Sunday but I don’t think it’ll happen so stuff them we’ll take our money to the Seychelles instead. I know very different places but we just wanted a little warmth. Business class seats and sha+ accommodation up the wall and as a result I don’t think I’ll be rushing back in the future.
Hi there, just wanted to know if I've been double vaccinated and it was just over 6 months does it count
Trying to apply for the thai pass ins, i was directed to a law service instead. WTF?
OK, I am a retirement expat, living in Thailand on an 0-A retirement visa. I am scheduled to travel to USA 12 December and return to Thailand the 2nd of February 2022. My visa is extended on 25 December 2021 for one year and good until 24 December 2022. I will travel out of thailand on a Multiple Entry Visa allowing me to leave and return as often as i want. Do I qualify for the Thailand Pass? Will there be differences in my requirements? Do I just come in on my O-A, Multiple Visa with a negative COVID test?
My girlfriends application got approved after 5 minutes!! Im still waiting for mine, since 2 days ago.
Europe is open fully with no restrictions and has been since summer!! You land at your destination and you start enjoying your holiday. I really don't think Thailand will get the tourists it expects with this new Thailand pass, and requirements that are needed.
Yes , my friends are flying all over Europe with no quarantine ,
no problems
You should work for Fox news. This is neither accurate or true.
Do you mean the Thai revised COE reworded as Pass?
@@dougdavis8986 Whats not true??? Europe is open!! I fly frequently with NO restrictions!!!!
@@dougdavis8986 Dude, you have so much cognitive dissonance in every post. People keep citing examples of their anecdotal travel experiences, yet you keep resorting back to dumb left-wing talking points that are not representative of peoples' lived experiences.
Can I apply for Thailand pass again because I put in my flight details just the flight number like JQ27 instead of the flight reference number
id wait to see if succesful 1st. and if not then apply again
Genuinely thank you for the information, it is useful to know the craziness continues. They want you pay for everything in advance and if the pass does not come through in time you are stuffed ! Thailand would have been at the top of my list, but after listening to Tim's depressing and expensive list of requirements it is staying at the bottom unfortunately. Actually there are many countries in the world where you can currently visit with just prove of vaccination, no testing, no insurance, no quarantine, no tourist tax, no passes or CoE, the UK is one of them......🙂 Turkey here l come....🙂
@GMT: Can you do a segment presenting a plan that includes an ordered timeline on how to get to thailand from USA. I'm very confused as to what order should I do things. Should I buy tickets first? or apply for the pass? or buy the insurance? Get a pcr or rapid -- which one? You seem to cover what's needed but you have no timeline or order in which you should do things; i.e. an ordered checklist. Just a suggestion for a topic to cover. Thanks much.
I so agree with your comment - Please give us a logical order to accomplish what is needed to get from US to Thailand.
Hi i im thai but i'm still got problem with thailand pass they app kept getting back where i start 😢😢
Well explained
But it’s not for me yet, I want a holiday, hassle free,
Good luck
I am a UK citizen currently living in Thailand. I will return to the UK for a 2 week holiday then fly back to Thailand. Can I apply for Thailand pass whilst still in Thailand?
Re. Transfers through other countries: What if you have a delay so the flight transfer extends over 12 hours?
My worry too. In theory you are in trouble but you'd just have to hope they would only notice this if the original flight transfer time was over 12
u fugged then
I think they let you true then even if the 80 hours have passed you can come in if you have a reason!
Still sounds like a lot of hassle. Is it compulsory to have insurance or not? As I have never travelled with insurance in my 31 years when travelling to Thailand to visit relatives.
yes
he goes through all the requirements in the video, insurance is definitely one.
@@jadeh4560 I always have. Had 1 accident with a broken collar bone which punctured my lung. Had to pay £5000 up front on 2 Creditcards due to limits before I could claim months later once home because they did not check their system first. That was a Quality Hospital not a cheap one.
What about Thai National coming back into Thailand, do they have to apply for re-entry ( Thailand Paas ) & will they need to do PCR test before re-entry ?
Yes to both is my understanding
Thanks for the info, doesn't sound as difficult as first perceived
Thank you for the information. See you in January..
Nice summary.
Thanks vey much.
Just one Q: Is it possible for a fully vaccinated Brit to leave Thailand after about two days though (after my initial PCR but before the Day 5/6 one)? I'd like to head to Cambodia.
I'm not sure land borders are open. Better to fly direct to Cambodia.
@@karmakarl6673 Thanks. I would fly straight but it's too expensive direct.
Thanks for the video. It was a pain, but not that difficult.
So you are saying we need two PCR tests to enter Thailand? One before within 72 hrs of departure and another one when you arrive?? Add in the hotel costs and the PCR test for your return ( in my case Canada) and you are looking at an addnl cost of 500 + dollars to your trip for a single person.
No it’s three actually ! When you’re in Thailand they ask you to do a second test over there on the six or seventh day !!!
@@Tex_Symbol69 The third test is a lateral flow test and should be included in the cost of your first night hotel
@@Tex_Symbol69 can I arrange my day 6 antigen test when I’m in Phuket? Also my fit to to fly antigen test two days before I leave Phuket.
Thanks in advance Gary
@@garyw4076 Sorry I’m not 100% sure mate, The rules are changing the other week.
I meant to be going to Phuket in May for three weeks, and I won’t be getting on a plane until they’ve dropped some of these requirements. Or the Thailand pass all together!
“Quick and Easy”?!?!? I guess that you haven’t applied for one. I applied 5 days ago, received my confirmation of application, then crickets…..
How does one plan their travels with this delay and uncertainty? I got my COE last time in a few hours. The new system is not so streamlined.
Great recap. Many thanks 🙏
Thank you, however unfortunate that nothing was said on several important points. 1 / PDF format cannot be used on the Thailand Pass site, only jpeg. and only one downloadable document per section. Result, how to send an insurance contract in PDF consisting of several pages knowing that if you want to convert it to jpeg, you must necessarily reduce the size of the pages so that they can all appear? It's just impossible, if we do that it's unreadable. So we can only send the first page but in this case is that sufficient for the authorities? 2 / They stipulate that the passport number must appear on the vaccination certificate. No French certificate displays or asks for the passport number during the injection. Should we add it to the pen? In short, nobody talks about it and no comments on it on the site itself. 3 / They ask for the QR Code of the first vaccination. There is no QR Code issued during the first vaccination, it is only during the second that it is given and it can only be used after one week after this second injection (15 days previously). 4 / Then there is no possibility of knowing where the progress of the file is (contrary to the request of the E.visa). If the file is incomplete or incorrect, when do the authorities say so? Nothing about it. For my part, I sent everything on November 2 (after several attempts due to bug problems that most people have encountered) and still no news 5 days later. They recommend that you apply for a Thailand Pass at least 7 days before departure, but what happens if you have to reapply in the event of an incomplete file? A better week to wait? In short, between the impossibility of using PDF (a format that allows you to zoom in while keeping an optimal quality, to merge several pages and to be compressed) and the lack of information concerning what I said, not to mention the radio silence on the progress of the file, I can only note the lack of professionalism for an official site such as this one in 2021. This risks calling into question the trip of many tourists already overwhelmed and stressed by the number of constraints related to covid. If there are any who have information, do not hesitate to communicate it if not from the authorities ...
same problem my insurance have 5 pages
QR code’s for vaccinations aren’t required, it’s an option. I obtained my Thailand Pass without any QR code’s. My vaccine certificate doesn’t have one
About the Sandbox. If my flight is to Bangkok. Can i just book a separate ticket from the same airport to Samui? Or should it be a joint ticket?
That would be my question too..
No transit flights allowed, you have to do the test and go in Bangkok if thats your port of entry
This is still too cumbersome for anyone not going for longer than a 30 day stay. I personally wouldn't do it for less than a 90 day stay.
I agree. I am retired and have a lot of time but no time for bullshit documents and phone tracking. Go to Mexico, Columbia, or other countries and enjoy life.
What vaccines are approved for the Thailand pass
Can I book flight to Thailand with swedish pass and come in Thailand with thaipass?
Can a tourist make a visa run for instance to Singapore and then go through the test and go. Stay there 1 day and then come back. Or do you have to use the sandbox, since you not stayed there 21 days in Singapore.
there is already an extra 30days you can get by going to their Embassy. If you needed to mess about doing those Border runs then you are trying to avoid a more suitable cost VISA. Think they allow 2 Border jumps but just look at the available VISA options that suit you.
I may be wrong but I thought you had to stay in the country you go to for 2 weeks before you head back, so I guess a 1 day visa/border run is not an option. You may need to use the sandbox to get around it.
to much paper work im going to wait
