Frequently Asked Questions
I am an expat leaving Thailand for a short time and returning. Do I have to apply for Thailand Pass and Test & Go?
Yes. At this time, all people entering Thailand must apply for a Thailand Pass and follow Test & Go requirements if they are fully vaccinated. This includes having the required entry requirements such as insurance, SHA+ hotel booking, RT-PCR test, and Thailand Pass approval.
I am an expat returning to Thailand. Can I quarantine at home instead of a hotel?
No. No matter what visa you hold in Thailand, you must follow the Test & Go entry requirements. You must spend 1 night in a SHA+ quarantine hotel while waiting for your RT-PCR test result.
Have the April 1 changes to pre-departure RT-PCR testing come into effect?
Yes. Pre-departure RT-PCR tests are no longer required when entering Thailand.
Has the April 1 change come into effect for the Sandbox scheme?
Yes. The Sandbox scheme now requires only 5 nights of quarantine in the Sandbox designated area. Visitors must now do 1 x RT-PCR test and 1 x ATK test on day 5 instead of 2 x RT-PCR tests. The Test & Go program is a better option for those who are fully vaccinated.
Have the April 1 changes come into effect for the un-vaccinated Alternate Quarantine scheme?
Yes. The Alternate Quarantine timeframe has been reduced from 10 nights to 5 nights. You still need to have 2 x RT-PCR tests during this time. The tests will be taken on Day 1 and on Day 4 or 5.
