Covid test required of Thai people upon leaving the country?


Recommended Posts

Posted

My girlfriend is flying from Bangkok to Amsterdam on January 7. She keeps insisting that she needs to get a corona test before she leaves, and that it's the Thai authorities that require that, but that seems quite odd to me, because it doesn't make any sense. Does anyone know if it's mandatory for Thai people traveling outside the country to get a corona test / medical certificate. My girlfriend sent me this image, but I don't read Thai, so I don't know what it says.
Hope you can clear this up for me. Thanks!

I think some airlines require it.

A friend flew back to Amsterdam with Qatar Airways and had to get a Covid19 test before the flight.

I think not a Govt requirement at either end.

Also I know a thai lady who flew back here from Hong Kong on Thai Airways who also required it before she could board.

No Covid test required to fly with Qatar or to transit through Doha. Thai citizens do not require a Covid test to enter Thailand, its the first time I have heard of Thai airways requesting that from a Thai citizen. I believe in both cases you are mistaken.

OP your girlfriend is mistaken. There is no requirement for a Covid test to leave Thailand unless flying with an airline that requires it and any transit country requires it. Certainly The Netherlands do not require one

I flew out in June with Qatar via Doha, likewise no test required to leave Thailand.
