Hello Everybody,

Went over to the Thai consulate today to apply for my tourist visa to come to Bangkok over easter, heading back to consulate monday to collect passport.

The lady at the consulate mentioned i need to carry a yellow fever vaccination certificate with me to bangkok, i didnt make much of the statement then. Now i'm back home in my apartment and i cannot locate the certificate(i got the vaccine in '98)

Do i need the certificate to enter Thailand? i've been living in Australia for the past four years and not travelled to Africa or South America in that period. i have a Kenyan passport

thanks guys

Thanks George. I'm Kenyan , which is on the list above. Since i've been in Aus for the past few years ,what kind of evidence is acceptable to prove i live here. Will the visas on passport and arrival & departure stamps on the passport suffice.

thanks

As long as you NEVER visited home you will be fine. Bring your old yellow book, or get the yellow fever jab before the travel.

If you go and see the Government Doctor ( I forget what they are called) but they represend WHO in Jessee St Parramatta and tell them what has happened, they may be kind enough to look up the WHO records and issue you another.

Carrying a European Passport I never worried about Yellow Fever Vaccinations (in fact I have no Y.F. Vacs.)

But after seeing this list I have been to one of these Countries once 5 or 6 Years ago as a Tourist. (By that time this Country was not on a similar list issued here in my Homecountry, so I did not bother getting a Yellow Fever Vac.)

Been in and out of Thailand 20 or more times since then without ever been asked at the Border with Tourist Visas or 30 Day Stamps.

Do I have to worry next time? Or do Thai Authorities understand that Incubation is definitely less than 6 Years?

I think the rules state that you have to have a YF vaccination if you have been to any of the above listed countries within the last six months!.
