James Peiris Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Does the entry into Thailand require only an antigen test. Not a PCR. Effective 1 December 2021 I am returning to Thailand on 29 December and I have already paid for a PCR test. Please clarify Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang51 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Last week, they decided to change the rules; effective from December 16th, only an antigen test is needed for vaccinated arrivals from the approved countries. However, then came omicron; thus, they may very well postpone the change to a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watboy Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 You will still need a negative PCR test 72 hours before departing for Thailand. As others have mentioned, they have discussed replacing the PCR at arrival with an anti-gen test, presumably since results are much faster and you wouldn't need to book a 1 day quarantine hotel. Looks like Omicron has put those plans on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
