Are COVID vaccines required to enter Thailand?

Thailand’s Entry Requirements for COVID-19 Vaccinations

As of today, travelers entering Thailand are required to present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination. Accepted vaccines include those approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In addition to proof of vaccination, travelers must also present a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 72 hours of departure. The test must be a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or rapid antigen test.

Upon arrival in Thailand, travelers will be required to undergo a post-arrival test. This test will be an antigen test, and the results will typically be available within 30 minutes.

Travelers who are not fully vaccinated or who do not have a negative COVID-19 test result will be denied entry into Thailand.

It is important to note that these requirements are subject to change at any time. Travelers are advised to check the latest travel advisories from the Thai government before planning their trip.

How to Obtain Proof of Vaccination

If you have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you should have received a vaccination card. This card will typically include the following information:

• Your name
• Your date of birth
• The date of each vaccination
• The type of vaccine you received

You can use your vaccination card as proof of vaccination when entering Thailand. However, if you have lost your vaccination card, you can obtain a replacement from your healthcare provider.

How to Get a COVID-19 Test

You can get a COVID-19 test at a variety of locations, including:

• Your doctor’s office
• A local clinic
• A pharmacy
• A testing center

You will need to pay for the test, and the cost will vary depending on the location.

What to Do If You Test Positive for COVID-19

If you test positive for COVID-19, you will be required to isolate yourself for at least 10 days. You will also be required to follow the instructions of your local health department.
