How to Apply for the Certificate of Entry (COE)?
Step 1: Visit the COE online portal/website and register by filling in your details, and upload supporting documents such as a copy of passport, copy of the valid visa, and COVID-19 travel insurance. The Embassy will screen and pre-approve the applicants who meet the requirements. Please check the status of your application after 1-3 working days.
Step 2: The applicants can check their status online if they have been pre-approved. They will be contacted by email if the Embassy requires more documents. The applicants who are pre-approved passengers can then buy flight tickets and book their ASQ or SHA+ hotels. Copy of the flight ticket and the ASQ hotel or SHA+ Hotel booking confirmation has to be uploaded to get the COE. Please check the status of your application after 1-3 working days.
Step 3: When the COE has been approved, the applicants can check their status online and click to download their COE.
How long does it take to obtain the COE?
It is strongly recommended that the applicant spares at least 15 working days before the travel date to apply for the COE. If you do not have a valid visa, it is recommended to secure your visa before applying for the COE.
What is the validity of the COE?
The Certificate of Entry is valid only for the intended date of travel. The COE will specifically state your name, passport details, flight date of departure and arrival, flight number, and the name of your ASQ hotel. In case, you need to postpone your trip or change the details of your flight, you need to make a new application for the COE to obtain a new certificate with the new flight details or ASQ hotel details.
What do you have to do after receiving the COE?
Once you have received your COE, you have to prepare the following documents for your trip to Thailand. It will be presented to the airline before departure:
- Certificate of Entry (COE)
- Valid visa in your passport
- Declaration Form
- Medical Certificate with a laboratory result indicating that COVID -19 is not detected. The COVID test must be by the RT-PCR method, the test must be conducted within 72 hours before departure. Some airlines do not accept home kit tests so please check specific requirements with the airlines you are traveling with.
- Copy of Travel insurance policy that covers COVID and no less than 50,000 USD. The policy must cover the whole duration of your stay or the duration of your visa. Please print the insurance certificate and all pages of the terms and conditions on the COVID-19 coverage and medical benefits. You may be refused to board the flight if you could not show that the insurance meets this requirement.
- Copy of confirmed ASQ hotel booking or SHA+ Hotel Booking
- Flight itinerary
- T8 Form

Hello!
What are the rules for children? I have a daughter who is 2 years old,before i applied for the COE it said clearly in the information that children under 6 years would not have to do a PCR-test and that seems to still be the case when arriving in Thailand but according to the airline no one is exempt from the 72 hours before flight pcr-test. So what are the rules??? //Robbi
I believe my United Health Care, Medicare advantage (USA) covers medical cost when traveling abroad. Can that coverage be suffice for the health insurance requirements for entry into Thailand? Or can I use another Travel insurance, such as Travel Guard?
Hi,
I am looking to fly in on the 15th of December from the UK and I am double vaccinated. However when filling in the ‘Registration system for Certificate of Entry’ it defaults me to acknowledge that I need to quarantine for 7-10 days as opposed to one. Is this correct?
Thanks
We started COE omn 10/10 – first confirmation we received 27/10 instead of just havcing to wait 3 days it took 17 days but we immediately fulfilled rest of the needed formalities on 27th Oct. for COE

Our flight is in 3 days (saturday) and neither of the portals sent us a confirmation/QR code.
Hundreds of calls at embassy Frankfurt: unanswered!

Dear Rex
I have one question.
I am fully vaccinated with two shots and i am an norwegian ziticen.
I am traveling from a country that is not on the quarentine free list(Republic of Congo).
I was wondering what type of option should i apply for when going to pattaya under Thailand Pass. I know i must sit 7 days in quarentine but is it option 2 i must take (Sandbox Programme) or option 3 (Alternative Quarentine). The reason i ask is that i want to go and live in the house with my wife after 7 days and not another hotell and i get all confused about what i should take that is correct in my case?
Hope to hear from you.
Thailand Pass portal returns an error after entering information.
I got stuck with COE and Thaipass cross over as we only booked flights on Friday to travel this Thursday/ Friday. I was told my COE would be cancelled so I have tried all day to register for the Thaipass but i keep getting an API error code when i go to upload.
Can anyone advise if there is a different way to get my pass as im fast running out of time and stuck with no help or advice from the webportal.
Is there a way we can pay to have someone register it all for us ?
I am having difficulty with Thailand Pass website. I have all docs in .jpg format (under 2MB) and used Google, Chrome and Safari browsers – all fail at final “Submit”. Can you assist? I travel very soon, arriving 11/6 and need help right away.

I am currently in Thailand and vaccinated in July 2021 with the Johnson vaccine. I want to visit the UK for 4 days from November 18-22nd and then come back to Thailand. When I try to apply for the “Thailand Pass” it will not accept the entry unless I show two vaccinations but the Johnson vaccine is a single dose vaccine? Seems the online application program has some problem? Any suggestions?
Dear Sirs
How do I apply, I can’t find any links on the Embassy of Thailand website
The Thailand Pass system will be available on November 1 at 9AM Thailand time.
Please help
Many thanks
Hi,
approx. two weeks ago I applied for the Phuket Sandbox program at the COE.
After the first pre-approval I continued with the procedure and now I wait for the final confirmation. This has been processing now for 2 weeks and I don´t have the final confirmation yet.
Now my question:
Are ongoing processes be completed at COE until implemetation of Thailand Pass System 1st of Nov.?
Do I need to register at Thailand Pass because I haven´t received a confirmation from COE yet?
Cheers
Good morning
Please may I confirm the procedure for Thai Pass for my two children.
We will be travelling to Phuket as a family with two fully vaccinated adults and two children aged 12 and 13 years old.
The children have received one dose vaccination of Pfizer which is what the UK Government directed acceptable. In the UK children under the age of 16 are not issued with a vaccination certificate.
Are the children eligible for Thai Pass and how long do we need to book an SHA+ Hotel for? Is it 1 night or 7 nights. Could you confirm that we would not need to quarantine for 10 nights and can move freely?
I have downloaded the Thailand Plus AP but it does not work. I have downloaded it twice. I have a Motorola phone runs on android. WHat should I do about this?

In the update it says if you don’t get pre-approved for COE by 1st November it will be rejected but then Thailand pass needs to be applied 7 days before travelling. So is it gonna work for people travelling from India on the 6rh Nov it’s pretty confusing as in what a person needs to do.

Hello Rex,
Two of us are leaving Los Angeles on November 9th for Bangkok, currently in the final stages of the COE process. In another comment, you suggested that for travel dates after November 8th one should apply for the Thailand Pass. Could you confirm this information please. I spoke with the embassy two days ago and they did not direct us to the Thailand Pass.
Thank you for responding!
I have completed my initial CoE and now try to upload hotel SHABA covid test booking etc. However when I try to save I get an error message Database Exception (#22007)
Should I not continue with CoE ans start a new Thailand pass application on Monday 1november. .

Hello! We have a flight to Thailand on November, 5. There was informations that travellers entering Thailand after November 1 should use a Thai Pass. However it’s not available till November 1 and we will have only 5 days to get it. Will it work? To get a CoE is not an option now as you should apply it 15 days prior to the entry date.

Good day,
I have a few inquiries regarding the certificate of entry (COE), recently I have applied the COE through the website on the 27/10/2021.

For the flight reservation , can I change the date of flight to another date in the next process ? probably around 12/11/2021 because I’m afraid to get flight in this very last minute a bit hard. I have to upload the evidence of my flight reservation and AQ within 15 days.
Really appreciate your assistance and clarification on this matter urgently,
I applied for my COE on Monday 25 October. As yet I haven’t received anything back from the embassy. My code is 169485. Can you please assist me.

I am applying for COE today for my wife and as we arrive in Thailand on November 8.

Dear Mr Rex,
I’m planning to visit Phuket from Russia within Phuket Sandbox program and now filling in COE. Could you, please, advice what documents should I load into “Attachment, for further consideration” section? I am vaccinated and as far as I know I should only pass PCR-tests and do not need Thai visa. Thank you!
Is there a way of applying for a COE without having to go through Siam legal? Can we just apply ourselves? If so, what website do we go to?
I am a Filipino and i am in Philippines. Will be traveling to bkk on nov 6, will i be eligible for phuket sandbox or bangkok sandbox will be available by then?

Hello, I am going to Thailand on a 30 days visa exemption. Can I further extend my visa for 60 days? I am married to a Thai spouse but cannot apply Non-O visa yet as the money on my bank account need another 2 months to season.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for always good info. Two questions:i have my COE issued with statement of 7 days quarantine in the start of november, but my country is on the low risk list. So how do I avoid the quarantine? They also issued my COE even if i send ticket showing i will stay 39 days. Can i just wait and get extension after I arrive? Thank you for your help.
I arrive in Bangkok on November 2nd , I am fully vaccinated an American citizen , I’m going for business. I will be there for 6 days then head back to NY. I will have a Covid test prior to going. I have contacted a hotel for a 1 day at a AQ hotel.
Do I need a COE?
My COE application has been rejected for only one reason and the consulate has asked me to correct it before resubmitting. The reason – I mistakenly put HND – Tokyo as my port of departure instead of NRT -Tokyo. I have tried basically for hours to correct this mistake in every possible way and have asked for assistance from others. No matter what I do, when I hit save/confirm it reverts back to HND -Tokyo. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? Thank you for your help.
I want to travel to Thailand around 5 November when will the travel pass be Available on line to complete
Hi,
I fly from London to Phuket on 7th November. I have already been pre-approved for the COE & got the rest of my documents ready to be uploaded except the PCR tests receipts as i have just noticed the website states “temporarily closed until the official entry process is announced”, so really i can’t do anything until the 1st Nov.
Will i have enough time from 1st November to upload all of my documents onto Thailandpass in order to get the QR code before the flight on 7th? I am unsure what to do, either carry on with the COE or to upload everything on Thailand pass once its goes live, please could you advise?
If i did go along and finish off my COE application on the 1st, will it have the option to quarantine for only 1 day? (therefore i can contact the hotel reduce my stay from 7 days to 1)
Thank you.
I am travelling to Thailand on 2 Nov – I submitted my COE application under Phuket Sandbox before Exemption From Quarantine was an option. My application was rejected as I did not book 7 nights in Phuket (per Sandbox rules). Now, Exemption From Quarantine is an option – I resubmitted my COE application under this program, but it as not appear this application was accepted. How can I submit under Exemption From Quarantine?

Hello. we will arrive to Bangkok on Nov 9th and want to take an immediate conection flight to Chiang may (not leaving the airport) we both Vaccinated.
Can we do that or need to stay in Bangkok until receiving the covid19 test results first? can we stay in quarantine hotel in Chiang may?
Dear Liat,
Good day.
Unfortunately it is not possible. You need to stay 1 night in Bangkok with COVID test result before you can travel to Chiang Mai. Or you can find a flight to Chiang Mai that has no stop in Bangkok. Once you have the negative COVID result, you go to Chiang Mai and there is no need to quarantine in Chiang Mai.

Hi, my husband and I would like to go to Thailand as tourists for a holiday. We would like to stay for about three months.
Do we need to apply for a Visa before we can apply for the Thai Pass.

I applied for a COE and received rejected notice with no information. I attempted calling and emailing multiple places / times with no response until today. Today I was informed they wanted me to wait until November 1st for the new Thailand Pass system. I attempted to communicate with my hotel but they wish for me to still follow COE guidelines. Is SHABA still required after November 1st? This article implies you just need a confirmed booking and nothing else. Thank you for your response.
Dear Douglas,
Good day.
If your flight departs November 8 onwards, you need to apply for Thailand Pass on November 1. If your flight is November to 7, you can apply for COE now.
Thank you.
I’m staying under 30 days, do I need a visa,… I’m from England and only staying 26 days

I am planning to go to Bangkok, Thailand on Nov 1. Understand that Thailand pass is not available yet. Would it be possible we submit COE and do quarantine for 1 night?
Thanks
Dear Jami,
Good day.
Yes, you can apply now for the COE that you will use for your flight on November 1.
Should you require any assistance for the COE or Thailand Pass application, please check this page: http://www.siam-legal.com/coe
Thank you.
According to the declaration form I need a fit to fly certificate and
a negative Covid certificate. Do I need both or is a negative Covid
Certificate sufficient?
Dear Peter,
Good day.
You only need to have a medical certificate stating you have negative COVID test result or the test result itself.
Thank you.
Hi I’m planning to go to Thailand ( Bangkok) from Perth Australia around February, March 2022 for approximately 6 to 8 weeks what do I need to do to make this happen.
Dear Sir,
I travel from Finland after 1.Nov, when Finland is on the list for “low risk countries” requiring only 1 night in SHA+ Hotel.
However, if I want to travel 1.Nov or soon after it, so I need to apply for COE, since the “Thailand pass” system is not yet operational. But in the COE system there is no option for Bangkok yet. Only Phuket sandbox. What to do if u want to travel to Bangkok? Do I choose the Phuket sandbox option?
Dear Jen,
Good day.
You can apply for the COE for now. You can still use it for your trip. Should you require any assistance for the COE or Thailand Pass application, please check this page: http://www.siam-legal.com/coe

Hello,
I applied for the COE more than a week ago, paid for the travel insurance and hoped to travel on the 3rd November. However my application is still under consideration when I check on the website. A text box appears when I searched this morning to tell me that the COE is being replaced by the Thailand pass but that the application process doesn’t open until 1 November. Is there a way I can still use my COE application as I really want to go ahead and book flights/ accommodation. I fall under the visa exemption rule and plan to enter Thailand through the Phuket sandbox programme.
I would appreciate any help or advice.
Kind regards,
Ciara
Dear Ciara,
Good day. Your pending application will still be considered and approved. You can use COE for your trip on November 1. Just contact the Thai Embassy by email or by phone to follow up the application.
Thank you.
Good Morning
I already applied for a COE entering Phuket “Sandbox”. Since its possible to enter Bangkok without a Quarantine from Switzerland my question is if its possible to change the Destination from Phuket to Bangkok in the COE.
Many thanks for your reply.
Dear Juri,
Good day.
When you arrive in Phuket, you can still use the No Quarantine Program. Your COE will state that you are Eligible for Quarantine Exemption after you tested negative on COVID test after arrival. You can ask for the refund from the hotel after that.
Thank you.
Hi Rex,
I will be flying into Bangkok for new employment. What is the insurance coverage period I should purchase for this case?
Dear Bee,
Good day.
If your visa is non immigrant visa for 90 days, you only need to show a COVID insurance for 90 days from date of arrival.

Hi Rex,
Please advice if I still need to apply COE I will be traveling directly to Phuket on November 4-15,2021.
I am fully vaccinated already.
Thank you for your response
Dear Kristel,
Good day.
If you are traveling before November 8, you can apply for the COE or Certificate of Entry right now.
If you are traveling on November 8 onwards, you can apply for the Thailand Pass starting on Monday November1.

Hi,
My partner and I was supposed to go to Thailand Phuket Sandbox programme 2/11 from Sweden but now we got an email saying that our ticket was cancelled. We are in a panic to find a new flight but if we book a new ticket, is it ok to enter Thailand with the COE we’ve already received for the flight that was cancelled?
Best regards
Dear Cecilia,
Good day.
You may check the REMARKS section of your COE regarding cancelled flights. Also, please go to the weblink given to you by the embassy. You can see the new and updated COE.
Thank you.
Hi there,
I am also struggling:
1. I have not heart back since applying for the COE on Oct 14th. Still under approval. Getting a little nervous – anyone else experiencing the same issue and any solution?
2. I am planning to enter Thailand on Nov 1st and are from an eligible country for the Thailand pass. I guess I still have to purchase 2 tests and book 7 nights of SHA+ for the final COE approval?
Also would it be possible to change my flight from HKT to BKK? (Departing at the same time) or would I possible hand in my BKK flight Details straight away when (hopefully!) receiving my initial approval?
Very glad for any advice!
Kind regards
Jana
Dear Jana,
Good day.
You do not need to change the destination. Phuket Airport also offer No Quarantine for those who are from the 46 low risk countries. All you need to do now is call the embassy and request for an update on your COE application.
Thank you.
Hi there,
I submitted my pre-registration form a week ago now and have heard nothing. I’ve entered my details and i’m being told I’m still under approval. I thought it was supposed to be 3 days?
There’s no reason why I should be approved as I fulfil all the requested criteria.
I’m becoming quite anxious that I won’t receive my COE before I travel in about 3 weeks
Hello, I am travelling to Thailand on the 11th Nov. I applied for a CoE on the 18th Oct…. I have a confirmation email and when I review the application it says awaiting approval. Should I continue to wait or do I apply again via Thailand Pass. Its getting very near to my departure date
Many thanks
Hello! I’m from Argentina and I’m full vaccinated with 2 Astrazeneca doses with 12 weeks and 3 days interval. The requirements of Phuket Sandbox say between 8 and 12 weeks. Could it be a problem ?
Hello,
My C of E is currently being approved.
However my airline has contacted me saying that I need to change to an earlier connecting flight into Amsterdam on the same day as the transfer time has been reduced to 5mins
I will have the same flight into Bangkok.
Do I have to apply again for my C of E when I received it?

Hello,
I’ve applied for the incorrect COE – i needed to request the VISA exempt tourist COE. How do I go about cancelling the request so I can apply correctly?
Thanks
Hi, I applied for COE on 18/10/2021 and am flying to Phuket on 31/10/2021. I have still not received a pre approval 7 days on. When I check on the website using the 6 digit access code it tells me “waiting for approval”.
Do you know how much longer this will take as and after that do we still need further approval that will take longer? I have sent 2 emails however no response.
Hello,
1. I was planning to fly on 1st November, I guess I have to change that plan since Thailand Pass is not available yet? Or can I do the COE?
2. Is it required to have a flight booked out of Thailand? I’m not sure if I’m gonna stay for 4 weeks, or apply for visa for another 4 weeks.
3. Is there a difference between SHA and SHA+ ? Some hotels say SHA, some say SHA+
Thank you!

Hello Rex,
I am from the netherlands and my flight will be from november 6th. Now the thailandpass will be avalaible on november 1 or 2. I am afraid that maybe i dont have enough time too get my application approved. And this is hoping the system will work properly. So is it still possible too apply for a COE with the new entry requirements?
Thank you!
Hello Rex,
I have read through previous answers and I am hoping very much that the situation is still the same now as about 2wks ago, re a flight change and COE.
I am an Australian in Greece; I live on a small island here half the year, in Phuket the other 6 months (have retirement visa). My domestic flight to Athens was delayed yesterday, causing me to miss my ATH-HKT flight. I have gotten all the docs re-issued that i can; changed my Emirates flight to 24 hrs later; ditto my SHA+ booking, swab tests, etc. PCR is still valid. The only doc that I cannot get a date change is my COE. According to the Thai Embassy in Athens, there is only one person who can do this, and she is not in the office today.
I read on my COE form that we have a 72hr window to rebook a flight, without needing to get a replacement COE doc. But no-one seems able to confirm this ! So here I am at the airport, biting all nails, and hoping your advice to Sergei some weeks ago is still current. Any reassurance would be SO much appreciated !! 🙂
Hi,
What is the website to apply for a CoE? Also, I have booked a hotel under my name but there are 5 of us travelling to Bangkok. I have asked the hotel to add all the names to the reservation but was advised that they can only have 1 name in the reservation. Is there a ‘group CoE application?’
I can still apply for a Coe entry certificate for a November 1st or 2nd arrival?
Morning Rex
I submitted the COE over 10 days ago and I’m still waiting for it to be approved is this normal as state 1-3 on all websites ?
Hello REX,
I’m an Ethiopian citizen and live in Saudi Arabia. Do I need visa since Ethiopians can get a visa on arrival and if not what do I have to do to travel to Thailand?
Thanks.
Hello,
I am moroccan citizen, preparing visa for my trip Mid November, through Phuket sandbox program.
Rabat embassy team advised me to initiate COE process.
When i fill the informations and load the documents, it seems that my health pass is not recognized ( I tried PDF , JPEG) even if i have the correct dates of Sinopharm vaccin.
Could you please help me to handle this issue, in order to run out of time.
Thank you for your assistance
I was denied access onto a flight on Sunday 24.10.21 because I did not have a visa or flight leaving Thailand Worthing 30 days of arrival. If I book a flight out of thailand within 30 days, can I use my same COE To travel and arrive in thailand within 72 hours. The Thai embassy did not tell me I need to have an outbound flight within 30 days. I intended to extend my allowed stay and get a visa if necessary in thailand. My trip is planned for 88 days.
