rocky123 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hi guys, I live in Pattaya and I am traveling to Birmingham on KLM next week. Loads of different info, its very confusing. I believe I need a test, before I fly. Q, what test ? pcr, lateral flow or antigen ? Q. Where can I take it, does it have to be a hospital ? Q. How long does it take for results. ? Q. What is the cost ? I have to fill in a UK Gov Passenger Locator Form. Q. Do I have to take a "test" in UK on day 2 and 5 still ? Q. How does that work ? THANK YOU for any info guys. Travel used to be so easy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Are you vaccinated? If you are, you don't need any tests to get into the UK. You just need to complete the passenger locator form no more than 3 days before arrival. Check with the airline and any transit country in case they have their own requirements. You will still need to get a test, etc if you want to come back to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 As advised earlier, it's best to check with the carrier as they may have their own requirements. KLM have a specific Covid advice section on their website https://www.klm.co.th/information/covid-19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Then you'll need a test before you go. It doesn't have to be at a hospital, but you will need the certificate and it has to meet UK standards, which is only really an issue for the rapid tests. You'll also need to pre-book and pay for a PCR test from an approved provider to be taken within 2 days of arrival. You'll need the code for the passenger locator form. All the information is on the website. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-to-england-from-another-country-during-coronavirus-covid-19#if-you-are-not-fully-vaccinated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted March 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2022 "From 4am Friday 18 March, all COVID-19 travel restrictions will be lifted, including the passenger locator form (PLF) for arrivals into UK, as well as all tests for passengers who do not qualify as vaccinated. This change, therefore, removes the need for unvaccinated passengers to take a pre-departure test and a day 2 post arrival test." https://www.gov.uk/government/news/all-covid-19-travel-restrictions-removed-in-the-uk#:~:text=The government will remove the,from 4am Friday 18 March.&text=The government will remove the remaining restrictions on international travel,today (14 March 2022). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliveBaxter is talking about getting back into Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
