snoop1130 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that foreign visitors can still gain entry into Thailand under the Phuket Sandbox scheme and by using Alternative Quarantine (AQ) services after the Thailand Pass system was suspended. The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) recently announced that it was suspending the Test & Go scheme. The scheme had allowed Thailand Pass carriers to enter the Kingdom without needing to enter quarantine if they tested negative for COVID-19 on arrival using the RT-PCR method. According to the CCSA, the Thailand Pass system will no longer accept new applications and will reevaluate the situation on January 4. Some 200,000 people had already been approved prior to the announcement and will be permitted entry under the Test & Go scheme, but must get tested twice using the RT-PCR method, first on arrival and again on the seventh day of their trip. The costs for both tests will be covered by the Thai government. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-12-22 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charmonman Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 So if they have suspended the Thailandpass system, how the @&$ are you supposed to apply for entry under the Phuket sandbox or AQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Well If I had to Quarantine, at least in Phuket I would be near the ocean, when I got out of the hospital, if that is where I would have to isolate if my test was positive. I am happy though to just wait until at least the end of 2022 before thinking of going anywhere tropical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
