double drain or it may just be
one two three
hello everyone and welcome back again into another vlog from live love thailand
as you know this week we are all talking about the eligible countries that can
enter thailand without quarantine and the blue zone sandboxes that will also operate
and welcome vaccinated tourists from all over the world starting november 1.
in this vlog i am going to explain in details all the new rules for the three
categories that can enter thailand now and all the documents that they should prepare
and know before jumping into the plane
now everyone can enter thailand but they should know which category
they belong and what are the rules and obligations they should follow
so there are three groups first the vaccinated ones from the eligible countries that they
were announced lately second the vaccinated tourists that are not in the eligible list
third the unvaccinated tourists that are willing to visit thailand so what are the
entry details for each group and what documents they should prepare let us start it right now
first of all starting november 1 everyone should apply for thailand pass rather than the coe which
will stay till october 31 so starting next week you will find the thailand pass link and start to
apply your documents there and concerning the ones that already applied for the coe they can enter
thailand with that and if they belong to the 46 eligible countries they can get their hotel refund
for the unused days by contacting directly their hotels so i hope this point is very clear now
now let us start first with the 46 eligible countries which can enter thailand without
quarantine starting from november 1. and how to know if you belong to this list
if you are vaccinated and belong to the list of the 46 countries
and also living there at least for the last 21 consecutive days before you apply for your
visa then you belong to this category and these are the rules that you should follow
as i mentioned you should be vaccinated and have your vaccination proof
which should be at least 14 days older and maximum
one year in order to be approved by the thailand pass system so that's the first requirement
kids under 12 years old guided by their parents should have a negative pcr test
if they are vaccinated or not so a pcr test will be enough for them to apply
the second thing you should have is insurance that covers covet at least for 50 000 usd
which should be from non-axa covet insurance now you can book this insurance either from thai
company that you find the link in the thai embassy official site or with any company that covers the
previous mention the price or the quotations you can get once you put your age and travel duration
so for more details simply go to the insurance side and get your quotation
and the price could be starting from 100 usd depending on what we mentioned
one night booking in sha or aq hotel that's the third thing you should book
and prepay in order to apply for the pass so as a clearance only one night at these hotels and
after that you are free to book the kind of accommodation you want to stay in
your arrival pcr test will also be included in the payment while you are booking your one night stay
plane ticket is of course one of the essentials and you have to pre-book that also
to upload it into the past and you can book to all
international airports in thailand depending where you will stay your first night
pcr test before 72 hours of departure that's also another obligation before your departure
that you should do at least three days before your departure and get the negative result in
order to show it with the thailand pass while you are boarding into the plane
now all the previous mentioned steps are obligatory in order to get your pes
and visa so what are the things that you should expect once you arrive to the airport in thailand
once you arrive you will show the thailand pass and your pcr test result
and all the documents you have in order to proceed to the immigration
and baggage claim so get them ready in order to save time and effort
tracking app will be also obligatory to download it on your phone
and have it ready before you leave the airport which the link
will also be available on thailand pass so no worries about that too
pcr test on your arrival as we mentioned previously that is prepared with your hotel
booking and it will be done outside the airport or in your booked hotel
taxi or the seal transportation to your hotel will be your final step
to go to your hotel and wait your pcr test result
while you are enjoying some relaxing moment and getting ready for your long waited vacation
after you get your negative pcr test result you are free to go out and enjoy your holidays even
free to live the zone you are staying for example if you are in bangkok you can travel to pattaya or
phuket without even waiting any further which will be the privilege between the eligible 46 countries
and the ones joining the sandboxes that we are going to talk about them right now
now coming to the second group if you are not in the eligible countries but vaccinated
then you can apply for the sandboxes in the blue zones including bangkok pattaya
and phuket which are the major ones so what are the rules and obligations for this group
everything we mentioned for the eligible 46 countries from requirements and obligations
are the same for this group except these steps
seven nights booking in sha plus hotel rather than one night booking you have to book seven nights in
sha plus hotel where you will stay for seven nights before you can travel to other zones
but that does not mean you are in hotel quarantine rather than a zone quarantine
so what does that mean as the first group you will have a pcr test at your hotel at the first day
and once your result is negative then you are free to go out and enjoy your vacation
but you have to stay seven days in your zone for example if you are in bangkok you have to
stay in bangkok for seven days and after you can travel to the other blue zones just like the first
group so as i said that's the major difference between the 46 countries and the sandbox tourists
now another thing that is different from the first group is that you will have a second pcr test
at day six or seven before you leave your zone so all in all you are not in hotel quarantine
rather than zone quarantine which is not bad at all
so if you want to know about the other requirements you can
revise the ones we mentioned for the 46 eligible countries
that will avoid quarantine so they are all under the same rules except the ones we mentioned
here we come to the last group which are the unvaccinated tourists who are
willing to visit thailand now so they are also welcome under the following rules
if you are not vaccinated in any country you can
enter thailand and stay in quran team for 10 nights before you can travel freely
so just like the previous other groups you have to follow all the rules but also to book
10 days asq hotel to stay in it which means real quarantine for 10 nights before you can go out of
your hotel and enjoy your vacation of course you will also have 2 pcr tests at the second
and the 7th or 8th day but unfortunately you have to stay in the hotel for 10 days
at the end as you see everyone is welcome to thailand but under different categories
and rules and hopefully all the rules will be won soon and everyone can enjoy a vacation in thailand
