With the Test and Go program, travelers will only need to be tested upon arrival in your SHA+ hotel and you can go if you received a negative result. You will then return to the SHA+ Hotel for the second COVID test.

You are eligible for quarantine-free travel to Thailand, if you are:

  • A fully vaccinated traveler,
  • Traveling by air, and

No need to stay in a designated hotel for 7, 10, or 14 days. You will stay in SHA+ Hotel on Day 1 or date of arrival and do a COVID-19 test.

Requirements for Test and Go Travelers

Even though you are a fully vaccinated traveler, from an approved country traveler, and are traveling by air traveler, you are still required to show required documents to Thai authorities to be granted entry in Thailand.

Here are the requirements that a Test and Go traveler must have:

Thailand Pass QR Code

You will need to obtain a QR Code that will be received upon approval after applying for a Thailand Pass. Provide all the necessary details and upload documents that are asked and wait for confirmation or approval for you to receive a QR Code which will be scanned upon arrival in Thailand.

Certificate of Vaccination

You will need to obtain a Certificate of Vaccination for proof that you are a fully vaccinated traveler.

Know that the certificate of vaccination will only be accepted if the vaccines you have received are approved by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) or by the World Health Organization (WHO). And it shall be at least 14 days before your scheduled travel date.

For children that are under the age of 18, they will not be required to be vaccinated as long as their parent or guardian is vaccinated and have a certificate of vaccination.

Medical Certificate for COVID-19 Test Result

Starting April 1, 2022, the mandatory pre-departure RT PCR COVID Test will no longer be required for all travelers to Thailand.

COVID-19 Insurance

You will have to purchase COVID-19 insurance that will cover the costs of COVID-19-related incidents in case one gets infected during your stay in Thailand.

The COVID-19 insurance must have a minimum coverage of $10,000. For COVID-19 insurance that you can trust, AXA Sawasdee Thailand is the best option.

    i am fully vaccinated and so is my 15 year old daughter. we travel back to uk on 21 august. do i need to get pre departure pcr test.

    • August 9, 2022

      Hello David,

      Children under the age of 18 do not need a certificate of vaccination if they are travelling with fully vaccinated parents. If they travel with parents who are not fully vaccinated, they must present an RT-PCR / Professional ATK COVID-19 test result issued within 72 hours before departure.

      Thank you.

    • August 9, 2022

      Hello David,

      Since you are fully vaccinated your daughter doesn’t have to do the pre-departure RT-PCR test.

      Thank you.

    Hi,

    I just like to check if we are staying more than 5 days, do we have to book a SHA+ hotel again? From other websites, it was stated we just need to download the MorChana App to submit our self-ART Test on day 5. Please advise, thank you!

    • April 19, 2022

      Hi Vivien,

      You need to book a SHA+ hotel just for test and go on day 1. After that, you can stay in any hotel you want.

    Hi,
    1. If we go under “Test & Go’ scheme that means we must book under the accredited hotels in order to take the Covi 19 test upon arrival?

    2. If we only stay 4 days in Thailand then must we also need to take Covi 19 test before departure?

    TQ.

    • April 19, 2022

      Dear Anthony,

      1. Yes, you need to book for Day 1 in an SHA+ Hotel. If you will arrive in Bangkok, you can book an all inclusive test and go package on this link: http://www.siam-legal.com/agoda
      2. if you will stay for 4 days in Thailand, you do not need to do the Day 5 ATK test.

      Thank you.

      Yes, that is possible. The only requirement for the Test and Go Phuket program is that you stay in SHA+ hotel for 1 night. After you completed or test negative on your Day 1, you are free to go or travel around Phuket.

    Dear Rex, if we are planning to travel to Bangkok for 6 days. Considering that we are required to book a SHA+ hotel on the first day and we plan to book another hotel for our stay from day 2 – 6, are we required to book another separate SHA+ hotel for day 5 for the RT-PCR COVID-19 test?
    Thank you!

    • February 10, 2022

      Dear Kai,

      If your Bangkok Hotel is a SHA+ Hotel, you can book the whole 1 week and they can arrange 2 COVID tests for you. That is the easiest way to do it.
      Thank you.

      Dear Shaun,

      No, you do not need to. You will be allowed to have the COVID tests in designated test centers to be provided by the government.

      Yes, if you are staying in Thailand less than 5 nights, you can have a Test and Go for one time only. You must have a flight exiting Thailand that is confirmed.

      Dear Kenny,

      Yes, it is alright. But when you apply for Thailand Pass, you need to provide at least a date of your planned exit from Thailand. Make sure that you also have an insurance that will cover your stay up to the planned date of exit. Also, you need to provide 2 RT-PCR tests and proof of hotel accommodation during these COVID tests.

    My main concern is for example I test positive, and have no symptoms. What happens, do I go to hospital or I hear about a hospital. I have contacted a few hotels on the list and they do not do this. Do I have to go to hospital or do they find me a hotel to quarantine in. I will make sure my insurance covers both.

    • January 27, 2022

      Dear John,

      If you tests positive, regardless of whether you have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days or asymptomatic, you are required to quarantine at your own expense for 10-14 days or possibly longer depending on your situation and under the direction of public health officials. If you are having a severe symptoms you may be quarantine in the Hospital, but if not you can be observed in your Hotel.
      Thank you.

    Hi Rex, thanks for taking the time to lift my confusion.

    Are there any Test & Go packages available in Phuket, Krabi or Hat Yak, some websites say Test and Go is limited to Bangkok for now?

    Is SHA extra plus hotel the same as a hotel with this “SHA plus+“ symbol?
    Thank you Michael

    • January 26, 2022

      Dear Michael,

      In Phuket it is a special case because the COVID tests are done outside the hotel. You can book the RT PCR tests at http://www.thailandpsas.com and separately you can book an SHA Plus+ hotel. Make sure that the hotel will issue a hotel confirmation letter including airport transfer for the Day 1 and Day 5 accommodations.

I am travelling with three of my family members and we all submitted our registration for the Test & Go scheme on Dec. 21st. The three other members of my family were accepted and received a QR Code. My registration was denied as the hotel failed to include my name on the reservation which was book and paid for two people.
