Popular Post SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted June 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2021 On the official web site of thai embassy in my country there is a countdown clock to the DAY OF OPENING of phuket. however when i ask them about the COE and detail , they come with the answer below, on 24 june, 6 days before the planned opening : The Embassy has not yet received official notification from Bangkok regarding Phuket; hopefully the Embassy will soon receive the requisite information. As soon as the Embassy is informed of the conditions of entry to Phuket, they will be published on the Embassy’s official Facebook page and on the Embassy’s official website at and C.O.E.’s will then be able to be amended and approved. Thank you. 1 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Afaik it's not published in the Royal Gazette yet, thus the embassy has to wait for this before they can do anything related to the Phuket opening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuket had a Grand Opening ceremony for the "Sandbox" Restart of the Tourism Industry on the 1st July, all the local officials, resplendent in their best uniforms, were there to welcome the pilot & crew, pity there were no tourists onboard. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Seven days to go to the #PhuketReopening & the details still haven’t been published in the Royal Gazette. This means Thai embassies cannot issue a Certificate of Entry yet. Anyway, hotels cannot issue the QR Code needed for the COE until the SHABA website is launched on Saturday. https://twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1408064948186402831 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espanol Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The embassies and Consulates of eligible countries from which travelers may enter Phuket, under the Phuket Sandbox Program, have not been able to update their Web sites with contents of the Phuket Sandbox Program, because the Thai Cabinet decision has not yet been published in the "Royal Gazette". Therefore, no travelers can arrive as early as 7/1/21. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But consulate needs 3 working days to process COE requests to Phuket. Then, you must provide airplane tickets and booking at SHA+ hotel and then again 3 working days for consulate issuing COE. https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/regis/step?language=en Therefore, no travelers can arrive as early as 7/1/21.

BritTim Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Rumours that people would be able to enter Thailand more conveniently through the sandbox scheme has prompted many to defer travel to Thailand in the hope that this would be true. Was the whole scheme secretly intended to reduce the number of foreign arrivals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
