No, it is 410.000 EUR. In Europe, we use "." and not "," as a thousand delimiter. ???? Several members have used it for the COE, it should be even easier to use it for the Thailand Pass, see below. It does not need to be highlighted any more. For the Thailand Pass, they want a general health insurance; they do not mention the need for it to cover covid. Any travel insurance should do as they, usually, cover for a lot more than 50K USD. However, if you want to be covered in case you test positive and are transferred to a hospital, you better get an insurance that covers hospitalization for covid even if you do not have symptoms.

I got one at the Thai Embassy in Denmark in October. As far as I remember it took less than a week to get.

The test costs 2400 baht when you book it at https://www.thailandpsas.com/ You can find hotels that offers free transport from the airport; otherwise, the price typically is as quoted when arranged by the hotel. I am not sure if it is possible to arrange transport yourself, if so, you can take a look at Vecay.

They hide it in a non-logical place. People that want the STV want to stay for a long time, typical more than 90 days; however, they put the STV in the section "Duration of stay no longer than 90 days" in the "Purpose of Visit" dropdown menu.

By the way, I see no way to enter the ATK test result. About the registering: The new version of the app requires a Thailand Pass ID. I didn't try to scan my COE QR code; however, the COE ID number was accepted when I entered the information manually. I will give the app a test run and if it makes my life easier (registering entry to various places) and if it does not hog the battery, I will keep it.

Nobody mentioned the app to me either. However, there is a poster in the terminal saying you have to install an app. Anyway, after learning about the reappearance at Google Play, I just installed the new version of the Morchana app, and it seems to work; although, it for some reason categorizes me as Medium Risk immediately after installing the app.

I was on the Qatar flight, full except some four or five seats. I was in the back of the plane, it took around 1½ hour to get through the document check and immigration. The covid check took less than 2 minutes, and I got the result in 6 hours as you did. I didn't get an ATK kit, and no one asked about the app. I can see that the MorChana app is back at Google Play. The COSTE app, is that this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tely360.coste It says it contains ads which does not sound promising. Where did you see that the COSTE app replaces the MorChana app? As for those talking (well, bickering) about residents entering, quite a lot of the passengers were on the younger side, typical tourists.

Agree, it seems that they follow their usual rules and not what is necessary for an entry package. By the way, I arrived in Phuket Tuesday, test taken around 2 PM at the airport, and I got the test result after 6 hours, after which I left the hotel.

I got my COE 3 days ago with 1 night booking and 1 PCR test in the airport. Since then at least one other member here got a COE with 1 night and 1 test. I didn't find a package, I asked a SHA+ hotel for a 1 night stay and a Shaba ID, and I got that. The PSAS website for appointment of the PCR test now allow booking of only 1 test, and they will take the test at the airport. It seems Google removed the MorChana app from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thaialert.app It is still in the Apple Store.

I am flying tomorrow as well. Did you get the MorChana app for iOS? It seems the app is no longer available for Android. Anyway, as far as I understand, the staff in the airport or at the hotel will help you install and setup the app when you arrive.

The first one I linked to is a government site listing SHA hotels, transports, etc.; although, as Salerno points out, it is only a list of approved hotels; one has to contact the hotels themselves to get a quote. The second one started as a cooperation with a government office, it does have SHA hotels, although only in Phuket.

The PCR test is not a part of the Thailand Pass process.

I used it March/April this year. Back then, it was a requirement to enter Thailand.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dga.thailandplus.android https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thailandplus/id1534557694 It used to be a requirement for the COE.

The phone app is still a requirement; although it seems they no longer want the ThailandPlus app but only the MorChana app.

They have: https://www.thailandsha.com/shalists/index?type=shaplus-SHA Plus + Also, this site is supposed to be a collaboration with the tourist department; although, I cannot find any information about the collaboration at the moment: https://asq.locanation.com/hotel.html

I believe you're right. As far as I remember you have the flight to Phuket earlier in the form. I first put both flights here, and that gave an error. Then, I wrote only the first flight here.

You will find the requirements at the website for the Thai Embassy in your country. Only, please be aware that many embassies are very slow to update their website; thus, the requirement of a 14 day quarantine may still be mentioned, although it is no longer required. The police background check is easier in some countries than others; In Denmark, you just have to go to a website and order it and then print it. The TB document you can get from any doctor. The requirements for the STV has nothing to do with the quarantine, sandbox, or test and go. In my case, the document for paid accommodation for the duration of the stay was the most time consuming part.

Mine says it is for the Phuket Sandbox; it does not mention any number of days. Below the form, it says: "From 1 November onwards, the traveller will be eligible to enter Thailand on Exemption from Quarantine scheme (after receiving negative RT-PCR test result)."

I am arriving November 2nd, and they told me that I will get the test at Phuket airport. I booked the test separate from the hotel. However, this may change when they are up and running with the new Thailand Pass. I guess that you arrive after November 8th since they told you to wait and use Thailand Pass?

The 1 night package you can book in Bangkok includes all of it. In Phuket they do not yet (at least not two days ago) offer 1 night packages. I had to book hotel and PCR test separately. The hotel I booked at includes pickup from the airport; I guess they do that always, they are situated next to the airport.

I got the COE with 1 night at an SHA+ hotel in Phuket, even though the official recommendation is to book 7 days and then try to get money back from the hotel. If your hotel is a AQ in Bangkok, there should be less reason to worry.

I guess it is different from embassy to embassy. I am flying November 1st from Denmark, I sent in the second part of the COE Wednesday morning and got the COE early Thursday morning. You could call them and ask when you can expect the COE; it is rather nerve wrecking not knowing if one is able to fly or not with only a few days left.
