Key Points
- All travelers will be permitted to enter Thailand without having to undergo pre-departure testing
Overview

Travelers will still be required to obtain a Thailand Pass QR code before entering the country and undergo RT-PCR testing on the first day of arrival. Travelers will also have to undergo self-administered ATK testing on day five of entry and report the test results in the Mor Prom application.
Travelers entering the country through the Sandbox scheme or Alternative Quarantine scheme will also be required to undergo a quarantine period, but the period has been reduced to five days.
