The Thailand Pass system reopens for new TEST & GO applications<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

From 1 February, 2022, 09.00 Hrs. Thailand time, fully vaccinated travellers from any country around the world can apply for a TEST & GO Thailand Pass up to 60 days in advance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While existing rules under the scheme remain unchanged, the CCSA approved additional requirements to ensure stringent COVID-19 precautions.<\/p>\n

All new TEST & GO applications must submit A proof of prepayment for 2 separate nights of accommodation at government-approved hotel\/s, such as, SHA Extra Plus (SHA++), AQ, OQ, or AHQ on Day 1 and Day 5, and the expenses for 2 RT-PCR tests on Day 1 and Day 5.\u00a0 The prepayment for Day 1 must include an accommodation, a test and a prearranged transfer from the airport to the hotel.<\/p>\n

Travellers can book 2 different hotels for the accommodation on Day 1 and Day 5. However, on both Day 1 and Day 5, they must stay within the room for the RT-PCR test result.<\/p>\n

The second RT-PCR test will not be required if the traveller\u2019s length of stay is less than 5 nights, or his\/her scheduled international departure date out of Thailand is on Day 5 or before. For example if the traveller plans to stay in Thailand for 3 days, then he\/she does not have to undergo the second RT-PCR test, but he\/she must leave for another country immediately. However, whether the traveller will be required to take another RT-PCR test depend on the airline and the final international destination.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, travellers who have applied\/obtained their Thailand Pass QR code before 22 December, 2021, with scheduled arrival dates in Thailand from 24 December, 2021, onwards, are still required to undergo their second COVID-19 test using the RT-PCR technique at government-designated facilities on Day 5-6 of their stay in Thailand, or when they experience respiratory symptoms (no additional cost).<\/h4>\n

Sandbox destinations expanded 6 provinces, Sandbox Extension reintroduced<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Also from 1 February, 2022, the CCSA approved the reopening of Bang Lamung, Pattaya, Si Racha,
\nSi Chang, and Sattahip \u2013 only Na Jomtien and Bang Saray \u2013 in Chon Buri, and Ko Chang in Trat as Sandbox destinations.<\/p>\n

The Sandbox Extension programme will also be introduced between Phuket, Phang-Nga, Krabi, and Surat Thani (Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Tao), where Sandbox travellers can travel within these destinations during the first 7 days in Thailand and can change accommodation three times (can book 3 different hotels).<\/p>\n

This means fully vaccinated travellers from overseas who are planning to travel to Thailand under the Sandbox programme can choose to undergo their first 7 days in either Krabi, Phang-Na, Phuket, Surat Thani (Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Tao), Chon Buri (Bang Lamung, Pattaya, Si Racha, Si Chang, and Sattahip \u2013 only Na Jomtien and Bang Saray), and Trat (Ko Chang).<\/h4>\n
