March 21, 2022 – As the country prepares to downgrade the Covid-19 pandemic to endemic disease, Thailand is gearing up for a return to normality and boost economic recovery by further easing travel restrictions. Starting April 1, 2022 travellers may enter the country without the need to show proof of a pre-arrival negative RT-PCR test within 72 hours of travel.

Thailand reopen – to lift pre-arrival testing requirement starting april 1

• Test and Go: No Quarantine – fully vaccinated travellers arriving by air from any country will be able to enter the country with no quarantine requirements. Travellers only need to undergo RT-PCR test (Day 0) when they arrive at their SHA+ or ASQ hotels and get a negative result. After getting a negative test result, travelers are allowed to travel to other parts of the country. A self-test Antigen Test Kit will be performed on the 5th Day and report your test result on the Mor Chana mobile app

• Sandbox Program: Will be reduced to 5 nights from currently 7 nights. After completing five nights within the Sandbox destinations (Pattaya, Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, Samui, Koh Phang Ngan, or Koh Tao) travellers will be allowed to travel domestically within the country

• Alternative Quarantine Program: For partially vaccinated or unvaccinated travellers, quarantine will be reduced to 5 nights from currently 10 nights in a designated quarantine hotel in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Pattaya, Phuket, or Samui before they can travel to other parts of the country. Travellers need to undergo an RT-PCR test on Day 4-5
