Thailand pass PCR test

[baco]

Next month I will arrive with the thailand pass.

The PCR test result do they want that on paper or can you show it on your phone?

I have the same issue, travelling next Wednesday. Will do my pcr test on Monday morning and pray it arrives in time. Given that my travel time from NZ is 32 hours also hope that there are no flight delays.

The requirement is that the test be within 72 hours of your departure, so unless the delay occurs on your departure from NZ, you should be okay.

This is what i do as well, it's like going to immigration, they love mountains and mountains of paperwork.

From recent experience I suggest having several copies of ever document in hand.

So, Has anyone managed to show this PCR Test Purely on their Phone ?
In UK with having to do the PCR by Post makes it incredibly Tight/Difficult sometimes to get the result and print it off ?

[Sheryl]

I would not risk that. Print it out, that is the least of the burden of this system.

 

If it is anything like COE process, not only will airline check-in staff pore over every document, when you land in Bangkok you will go to various counters (before reaching immigration) that will do likewise.

I fly from Amsterdam with a stopover of 90 minutes in Singapore, do you know which departure time they will take? The departure time from Amsterdam or the one from Singapore?

Amsterdam for entry to Thailand.

But Singapore requires a test within 48 hours according to posts I have read.

I would print out both PCR Test and Thai Pass QR code.  They will accept both on the phone but you have to handover your phone while they scan the QR codes.

 

Another thing. They want to see your boarding pass too (just the one you arrived in Thailand on).  They will also scan the bar code of it.  You can use the boarding pass in your phone if you have it but again, you need to hand over your phone.  I just handed over the two printouts and paper boarding pass, they did thier scans and I was good to go.

I came back to Thailand on Monday using Thailand Pass.

They do accept test result using mobile phone.

But it slows up the whole process. People were waiting in the back of the line holding their phones up showing the results, while the people with printouts (including me) just walked through because the immigration staff had already given the all clear.

 

That's all. You can use your phone - but it is very slow.

My airline Qatar is requesting I have a hard copy for them when I check-in at the counter... I plan to have duplicates of every item in case someone decides they want a copy of any docs in the process... Better safe than sorry!!

I am flying with Qatar tomorrow and they haven't requested hard copies from me.

I always carry printed copies of all documents just in case .

Genuine question - even for transit passengers?

Anywhere between 60US$ and 150US$. It depends on how quickly you want it. I would advice you to find a walk-in service and not a postal service as you may not get the results in time. With a walk-in service they have the sample straight away.

I found a place that will have the test results available in 24 hours that accepts our insurance as payment, so we won’t have to pay anything. I’m assume the person asking this question is asking about the pre-travel PCR test. Our Test & Go PCR test is ฿2,000 paid to the hotel.
