Test and Go Program

What’s the “Test and Go” Program?

The “Test and Go” Program also known as the No Quarantine Program was created for fully vaccinated visitors from 63 low-risk countries traveling to Thailand giving them a quarantine-free entry. They will just have to stay for a night or two in a “Test and Go” hotel while waiting for their COVID test results upon arrival in Thailand, after which they are allowed to travel to any city or province in Thailand.

Required Documents:

  • A Certificate of Vaccination (fully vaccinated) with an approved vaccine at least 14 days before travelling.
  • Those previously infected within 3 months must have received 1 dose of an approved vaccine at least 14 days before traveling.
  • Travelers under 12 years of age, traveling with parents or guardians, are exempt from the vaccination requirement.
  • A Medical Certificate with an RT-PCR lab result indicating that COVID-19 is not detected and is issued no more than 72 hours before traveling (all travelers).
  • A confirmed payment for a 1-night stay at a SHA+ or AQ Hotel accommodation, and 1 RT-PCR test.
  • A COVID 19 insurance policy with coverage no less than US$50,000 (for foreigners)

What is the Best COVID Insurance for Thailand

Based on experience, the common problem for Thailand Pass applications being rejected is that some insurance policies are not properly worded. Your COVID 19 insurance must expressly state that it covers up to 50,000 USD medical expenses including COVID 19. To purchase the most reliable and, based on our experience, insurance that has never had any problem in the Thailand Pass application, please click the link below:
