During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thai Ministry of Public Health has required that any Thai or foreign nationals traveling to Thailand must secure a COVID-19 PCR test with a negative result, COVID-19 health insurance and they must undergo a mandatory quarantine at Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) facilities.
The mandatory quarantine is required for foreigners permitted to enter Thailand such as diplomats and non-immigrant B visa with work permit holders including their families, business representatives and experts invited by the government, permanent residents, foreigners with Thai families such as Thai marriage visa holders, students and their guardians, medical tourists and their attendants, business visa holders, Thai Elite Visa holders, APEC Cardholders, special tourist visa (STV) holders, SETV tourist visa holders, non-immigrant O, OA and OX retirement visa holders and migrant workers with official documents.
What is Quarantine?
Quarantine is defined as public health practice used to protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease such as COVID-19. It is a separation and restriction of the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease such as COVID-19 to see if they become sick. These people may have been exposed to a disease and do not know it, or they may have the disease but do not show symptoms.
What is Alternative State Quarantine or ASQ?
The ASQ is a process of quarantine at government-accredited hotels in Bangkok at the traveler’s own expense. For non-Thai nationality travelers, many hotels together with hospitals launched Alternative State Quarantine Packages for those returning from abroad. These hotels have been approved by Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Defense.
What is Alternative State Quarantine or ASLQ?
ASLQ is the quarantine facilities in cities outside Bangkok such as Phuket, Pattaya, Buriram, and Prachinburi.
How long is the quarantine?
The mandatory quarantine is 14 days.
Can I quarantine in my own home?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to quarantine in your own home at this time. You have to undergo quarantine in the accredited hotels only.
What is the cost of the ASQ?
The cost may vary depending on the hotel with a price range from 28,000 THB to 220,000 for the 14-day mandatory quarantine with better facilities, good atmosphere, in a clean and safe environment.
What is included in the ASQ package?
Normally, the package includes 3 meals per day, complimentary WiFi and private car transfer from the airport. A nurse is on call 24/7, and you will have your temperature taken and health checked twice a day. The package also includes two COVID-19 tests that take place on the 5th and 13th day of your quarantine. If you have a fever of 37.5 degrees or more, you will be transferred to a hospital.
Process to reserve ASQ/ASLQ
- Make a room reservation directly to the ASQ/ASLQ hotel, when you know the date of entry to Thailand.
- The hotel will inform related authorities at the airport and will pick you up from the airport on arrival date/time.

I need to travel from CHIANG MAI TO SUVARNABHUM. I will be in Sukumvit for one day. Do i need to quarantine myself after returning back to chiangmai?
regards
Dear Jagannath,
Good day.
I recommend for you to check with your local authorities. There are provinces now that would require 14-day self isolation if you have previously travel in the red zone provinces.
Thank you.
I think my question got erased like some others before it so I take a screenshot this time to preserve it. My question is simple – my Thai fiance and myself co-habit together outside of Thailand. We live together 100% of the time (I work from home due to Coronavirus) and we travel together to Thailand in February so why should we stay apart for quarantine. Surely this makes no sense – in these circumstances can we stay together in ASQ ? Appreciate your response this time please. I may be able to get local embassy to vouch for us or give us a letter or something to verify our status.
Dear Mac,
Good day.
You may contact the ASQ hotel and present your proof of common-law partnership if you are not married.
Thank you.
Hi. If i stay The quarantee in Phuket, after The 15 day can i travel to Samui and Koh Phangan?
Dear Raisa,
Good day.
At the moment, yes you can travel to Phuket to Samui. However, we cannot be sure in the coming days or weeks if a self-quarantine will be required when you travel from one province to another.
Thank you.
Hi again😊
If i take flight to Helsinki-Doha-Bangkok-Samui. Is that possible and after that i stay the 15 day quarantee in Samui? And does Samui have the ASQ hotels?
Dear Raisa,
If your Qatar airlines flight will fly from Bangkok to Samui and you do not disembark the aircraft in Bangkok, then you may do the quarantine in Samui.
Thank you.
Hi Rex,
Are there ASQ hotels available in Chiang Mai? If not and I quarantine in Bangkok, am I free to fly to Chiang Mai after without an additional 14 day quarantine?
Thank you
Dear Nick,
Good day.
At the moment, there is none, because there are no international flights landing there. You can quarantine in Bangkok is a hotel and when you move to Chiang Mai, you might need to self-quarantine.
Thank you.
Hi I am a British National who will fly in from Dubai…
If I fly into Thailand and my girlfriend flys in from the Phillipines … if I can find flights that land roughly around the same time can we quarantine together in the same room? Thankyou
Dear John,
Good day.
Yes, you can quarantine in the same hotel but you cannot quarantine in the same room. Only married couple can quarantine in one room.
Thank you.
WHy do you always erase my question? It is a legit one. What you do is not polite. I saw that the Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort has lot better price in booking dot com. My question is: if I proceed my booking thru them, will it be accepted at the airport from the Thai authorities? Be transparent here because I am starting to think that you are working to profit from foreighners.
Dear Alec,
Good day.
The ASQ hotels are only available on Agoda or you can book directly through the hotel.
Thank you.
Hi,
Can we book ourself to one of the hotel listed in Phuket by using booking dot com as the price is a lot better?
Dear Alec,
If you want to book an ASQ hotel, you need to book directly with the hotel or you can use Agoda.
If you want to book the hotel after quarantine, you can use Booking.com
Thank you.
Hi,
I just want to ask if both foreigners from different country can enter Thailand on March from US and Philippines without securing non-immigrant visa? Is visa -free for first 30 days still in effect or visa is required now in any case ? Should they be quarantined separately once arrived together in Bangkok? Thank you.
Dear Mae,
Good day.
Yes, US and Philippine passport holders can get 45 days visa exemption (including 15 days on quarantine) through this page:https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/regis/index?checkconfirm=true
You must choose “Medium Term Visitor- Visa Exemption” in the selection.
Thank you.
I see that hotel offers are – for 15 nights 16 days..
And i read 14 days needed in quarantine.
How many night do I need to book for the quarantine?
If it is 14 days – why do the hotels only offer 16 days?
Dear Anders,
Good day.
Some hotels are offering 14 nights 15 days ASQ package or 15 nights 16 days packages. Just choose the one that has less ASQ package. You cannot oblige a hotel to decrease the number of nights if they only offer more days. You may choose another hotel.
Thank you.
Hi,
Do you have any current details/information about any tracking devices (phone app, wrist band, etc) being required for visitors? What are they using, if anything? Is it used only for a limited time period or throughout the entire term of visa? Is it for all visa types?
Thanks
Dear Chris,
Good day.
Once you have completed your mandatory 15-day quarantine, there is no tracking device or wrist band being required. You are free to travel.
Thank you.
Hello,
will there still be a quarantine if i have a proov of covid-19 vaccine and a negative pcr?
Dear Lilith,
Good day.
Yes, the quarantine is mandatory for all travelers to Thailand. There is no indication that the quarantine will be lifted soon.
Thank you.
Hello!
I have plan to flight Thailand next February or March, flight landing Bangkok. Can I take quarantine hotel in Pattaya?
Dear Vesku,
Good day.
Yes, if your flight lands in Bangkok, you may book a quarantine hotel in Bangkok or Pattaya.
Thank you.
Do you need to pay for the Quarantine Hotel before you know if your visa will pass?
If this is the case, then my question is: If your visa is rejected, will you be refunded the hotel cost?
Dear Oskar,
Good day.
Most ASQ hotels does not ask for full payment. Most of them will ask for the 10% to 50% deposit until you get the visa and COE.
Yes, the hotel may refund the deposit if your COE was rejected or you tested positive before the flight.
Please check directly with the hotel because they may have different policies.
Thank you.
I will be under going quarantine in a ASQ in January upon my return Thailand. Can my Thai wife (who is already residing in Thailand, and not travelling with me from overseas) stay with me in ASQ for the whole quarantine period?
Dear Trevor,
Good day.
No, I do not think the hotel will allow that. You should contact your ASQ hotel regarding this request. maybe they will allow it if you pay for her ASQ stay also and you buy her a COVID 19 insurance.
Thank you.
Hello,
Can you explain about the quarantine process? Are you confined to your room and if not what are the rules during this period?
Thanks very much
Dear Marc,
Good day.
There are 110 ASQ hotels and they have different policies regarding quarantine. These set of FAQs by Anantara Hotel is useful:

Thank you.
I wish to purchase a retirement property in Pattaya. May I interact with real estate companies while in quarantine?
Must I remain in my room for the entire 14 days?
Dear Richard,
Good day.
Yes, you definitely have to stay in your room. However, you can set up a video conference with a lawyer or real estate company should you need assistance.
Thank you.
If a Thai national is returning back, can she qurantine at her residence?
Dear Bravo,
No. She has to do quarantine in a hotel or a quarantine facility provided by the government.
Thank you.
Hello, I am planning to visit my wife in Roi Et in January. I noticed that Roi Et does not have an ASQ listing. Is it possible for me to stay in Buriram? Thanks, Robert
Dear Robert,
Good day.
You will do the quarantine in Bangkok if you flight lands in Bangkok. However, if you wish to do the quarantine in Buriram, may I ask if your ASQ Hotel in Buriram will send a special car equipped with PPE to Bangkok airport?
Thank you.
hello,
we are 2 canadians travelling together to Thailand end January 2021. Are we able to stay in the same ASQ room ? or do we need to have each our separate rooms ?
thank you
Dear Pierre,
Good day.
Only married couples are allowed to stay in one room or parent and children.
Thank you.
Dear Rex,
I’m staying in a ASQ hotel in Bangkok and paid in advance for 16 days/ 15 nights stay. Now I read here only 15 days/14 nights are compulsory.
I don’t mind to pay 1 more day and night since it was the only offer, but could I ask to leave after 14 days/ 14 nights, if my 3rd PCR test is negative ?
Dear Pascal,
Good day.
Did you check the number of days and nights before you signed up for this package? I would recommend to complete the ASQ package with the hotel.
Thank you.
Hi, my quarantine is due to end 16th/2359. Therefore assume i may check out 0001/17th. is this correct please
Dear David,
You need to forward this question directly to your ASQ Hotel.
Thank you.

Dear Jay,
Good day.
Is that a private jet provided by the hotel equipped with PPEs? Please know that you are not allowed to take a public flight from Bangkok to Phuket.
If you want to have quarantine in Phuket you must book the Emirates or Qatar flights that land in Phuket.
Thank you.
As many countries have already eased the quarantine process, want to check how long will the 14 day Quarantine be mandatory in Thailand. Is there any plan to ease the restrictions in Jan 2021?
Thanks
Sharmila A

Thank you.

Thank you.
Hello
My girlfriend is Thai national she is due to fly from Spain via Zurich with Swiss Airlines on 12th December.
Dos she have to pay to stay in quarantine hotel please
Dear John,
Good day.
If she choose ASQ, yes she has to pay for it because ASQ is not free. If she wants the state quarantine, she needs to check with the Thai Embassy and perhaps register for the free SQ.
Thank you.
Thanks Rex, I have communicate with Thai Embassy in Singapore. However, they have no idea on the Multiple Reentry Visa on PR extension of 1 year after it is due. They encourage me to fly back to Thailand to extend it. Reason it seems that Nation News reported that ASQ was not safe there. Few days ago a French woman got Covid19 during her ASQ stay. “Can you please provide me the link that said Thai PR validity extension within 1 year of expiry”. Many Thanks
Dear Jason,
Good day.
That has been announced in the July 2020 visa amnesty notification from the immigration.
Thank you.
Hi,
I am an Israeli citizen and I am interested in coming to Thailand in December for a period greater than 60 days. I will be able to get STV or a tourist visa?
Dear Efraim,
Good day.

https://telaviv.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/entry-to-thailand-with-tourist-visa-during-covid-19?page=5d75197c15e39c3598006f6b&menu=5d75197c15e39c3598006f6c

Hello,
Is there specific menu for 1 years old baby?
Also, is it possible for my husband to bring special food for the baby at the lobby?
Dear Adele,
Good day.
Yes, you may request the hotel for specific menu for yourself and your baby. Yes, visitors may bring food for you but there’s limited number of things they can bring. I recommend for you to check with the hotel that you choose.
Thank you.
Hello.
I am an Australian looking to enter Thailand on the long-stay visa, up to 90 days and hopefully renewable after that time period.
I am looking at AQS in Buriram.
I believe there is no direct international airport in Buriram.
If there is no direct flight to Buriram, how do get to Buriram and undergo my 14-day quarantine?
Dear Jack,
Good day.
This would be possible if you or your ASQ hotel in Buriram can arrange a private flight from Bangkok after your international arrival to Buriram Airport and then to your ASQ.
If this is not possible, you need to book an ASQ hotel in Bangkok and then proceed to Buriram on a normal domestic flight.
Thank you.
We are American and wanting to come to Thailand for three months beginning January 3. Will we be able to come on either the STV Or 60 Day Tourist Visa?

Thank you.

Dear Jason,
Good day.
At the moment you are allowed to apply for the certificate of entry and enter Thailand. However if you are unable to travel, please get in touch with the nearest Thai embassy for more information, I believe there was an announcement that you can travel within 1 year after expiry.
Thank you.
I am a Thai PR Holder and will be travelling this coming End Nov. Which Hotel have the lowest price stay for ASQ in Bangkok.

Dear Adrian,

What is the protocol if someone had infected from NCOV and recover, Do I need to take swab test and undergo quarantine upon arrival? How long the quarantine will it last?
Thank you.
Dear Sher,
Good day.
Thank has a travel ban at this time. The government only allows essential travel to Thailand and allows foreigner with visas enumerated on this page:
https://www.thaiembassy.com/travel/can-you-enter-thailand-now-during-the-covid-19-crisis.php
If you are qualified to enter Thailand, please contact the Thai Embassy in Doha to obtain the visa and obtain certificate of entry to enter Thailand.
Thank you.
Hello, my Panrajaa is visiting me in Germany and sadly have to return on November 25th. She was just telling me, that she has to change the flight, because the Lufthansa flight at 29th/30th of November would not qualify it’s passengers for a a state quarantine any longer. She told me that she would have to change the flight – costs of about 1.000 € – or would have to book a ASQ. I couldn’t understand the procedure showing on some websites she has pointed on. Is she right in interpretations the changed rules from starting of November?
Dear Guido,
Good day.
Unfortunately we cannot advise you about the free quarantine for the Thais. We mostly deal with foreigners so we can just advise you about the paid ASQ. I think it is cheaper for you to book her in an ASQ hotel rather changing the flight for 1,000 Euro. The ASQ hotels starts at 27,000-28,000 THB or even less.
Thank you.
Dear Sir or Madam, I am a Swiss citizen married to a Thai wife. We would like to return to Thailand in mid-January. I have already made the required reservations for my entry visa, etc. with the Thai Embassy in Switzerland.
Can we fly to Phuket (flights available with Qatar Airways or Turkish Airways from Zurich) and do ALSQ Quarantine there, instead of Bangkok?
Thank you for clarifying.
Dear Florian,
Good day.
Yes, you can fly to Phuket directly if there are flights arriving in Phuket. I believe today there was Emirates flight that landed in Phuket already. If you land in Phuket (without transit in Bangkok), you can undergo 14-day quarantine in the accredited hotels or resorts in Phuket. The ASQ hotels in Phuket are more expensive than those in Bangkok.
Thank you.
I’m planning on booking a flight from Europe to Chiang Mai. The booking says there will be a stop in Bangkok before continuing on to Chiang Mai. My question is, how does quarantine work in this case? Should I just book a flight to Bangkok and stay there for 2 weeks of quarantine or can I travel straight to Chiang Mai? FYI: I’m a foreign exchange student to Chiang Mai University.
Dear Riho,
Good day.
You have to do your 14-day quarantine in Bangkok before you can fly to Chiang Mai. Unless your quarantine hotel in Chiang Mai can arrange a private jet from Bangkok to Chiang Mai with you as the only passenger to avoid any contact with local people.
Thank you.
Hi, I’m from Spain and I would like to go Tailand. Is it forbinned? where I can see this registrition?

May I know if your tourism is open for Philippines and United States country. If so, May I know what kind of visa we should apply?
Dear May,
Good day.
Yes, US and Philippine passport holders can get 45 days visa exemption (including 15 days on quarantine) through this page:https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/regis/index?checkconfirm=true
You must choose “Medium Term Visitor- Visa Exemption” in the selection.
Thank you.
Dear Rex,
thanks for your answer. I think the best way to go is to get a business visa at the Thai embassy here in the Netherlands, right? I have been doing business with Thai companies for over 15 years and it is urgent for me to be able to visit them after almost 1 year not having been able to do so. What are my chances to obtain a business visa? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best regards, Robert.
Dear Robert,
Yes, it is possible to get a Non B visa under business. Please check this page for more information:
https://bit.ly/2TBn620
Thank you.
Dear Rex,
entering Thailand through BKK and then travel directly on to CNX to quarantine in a hotel there, is there any possibility to do that?
Thanks, Robert V.
Dear Robert,
Good day.
I believe that you need an international flight to land if Chiang Mai if you wish to make the quarantine in Chiang Mai. If you arrive in Bangkok, you must quarantine in Bangkok because from the airport, you will be brought directly to your hotel by private car. If you land in Bangkok and travel to Chiang Mai, will it be a private plane? There should be no other passengers since you will be a risk to the domestic passengers.
Thank you.
1. I am Indonesian, but currently working in Philippines, can I come to Thailand with ASQ visa?

Hi,
Can you confirm if Citrus Sukhumvit 11 is a ASQ hotel? They claim on their website as well as other pages claim to be ASQ hotel
Dear Beant,
Good day.
Yes, Citrus Sukhumvit 11 is an ASQ hotel. It is one of the new hotels that was accredited recently. We have not updated out list on this page. Thank you for your information.
Is it correct that people over 60 years of age has to do a hospital check the first night in ASQ? One ASQ hotel said my wife andI had to pay 3500 bath extra because we are 62 and therefore needed a hospital check the first night.
Dear Birger,
Good day.
I have not heard of this particular policy from the government. Perhaps it is an internal policy of the hotel. I suggest for you to check with other ASQ hotels. Right now there are over 100 ASQ hotels in Bangkok alone.
Thank you.
have been reading that need T8 form with me on entering Thailand, can the Embassy email one to me?
is the Pattaya ASQ approved yet?
Dear Steven,
Good day.
You may download TM8 on this page: https://image.mfa.go.th/mfa/0/umufy3EgqL/T8new.pdf
Also, TM8 is also available as a mobile app that you can download when you arrive at the airport.
I believe Pattaya has one ASQ hotel already.
Thank you.
Please could someone advise.
I would like to apply for state Quarantine not (ASQ) for my Thai partner to land in December, Is this still free for all Thai Citizens.?
Many thanks
Dear Crosby,
Good day!
The Thai nationals are given 2 options. They can go for the state quarantine which is free or they can go to ASQ hotel quarantine which is not free.
Thank you.
Hi will you be quarantined in the hotel room when in an ASQ hotel? Or is there to some extent freedom of movement within the hotel (e.g. gym use etc)
Dear Thomas,
Good day.
It depends on the ASQ Hotel that you choose. There are days that you will be allowed to the pool area or perhaps the gym. I recommend for you to check with your hotel before booking to know what facilities they offer you during your stay.
Thank you.
Within the 90 days of visa can I travel outside and come back without doing the quarantine?
Dear Alessandro,
Good day.
If you travel outside Thailand and you plan to return, you need to do ASQ quarantine again because you have exposed yourself in an infected country.
Thank you.
What about people coming from Laos?
Dear Lawrence,
Good day.
If you are asking if the travelers from Laos will have to undergo a quarantine upon arrival, the answer is yes. If you are asking if the travelers from Laos can apply for the STV or special tourist visa, I believe that they can however, I recommend that you call the Thai Embassy in Vientiane to check about this.
Thank you.
I would have liked a visa immigrant O for 3 months, my year visa expires on Nov 17 and am booking a flight to Thailand.
Have been married to my Thai wife for many years, but due to the corona epidemic I cannot go back, I will probably go back on Oct 30th.
I am Dutch living in Heerlen Limburg so it is easier for me to go to Essen than to Amsterdam. Awaiting your reply, greetings Robert Italiaander
Dear Robert,
Good day.
If you have already a valid non immigrant O visa, please apply for the certificate of entry on this page: https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/regis/step?language=en
If you do not have a visa yet, we highly recommend that you apply for the visa at Thai Embassy in The Hague.
Thank you.
