ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi all

Can anyone kindly advise as to whether a Certificate of Recovery from COVID-19 (issued by a medical professional after 10 days without symptoms) can replace the requirement for a negative PCR test for entry into Thailand?

I am a double-vaccinated traveller with an approved non-immigrant B visa but my pre-departure PCR test was recently returned positive. I am asymptomatic but understand that PCR tests may return positive results regardless for up to 90 days after recovery.

Any guidance would be much appreciated - thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of using a Certificate of Recovery from COVID-19 to bypass the requirement for a negative PCR test necessary for entering Thailand, after testing positive but remaining asymptomatic. Responses suggest that currently a positive PCR test disqualifies entry, and no confirmation exists regarding the acceptance of a recovery certificate. Further inquiries direct the user to a supportive Facebook forum for additional information.

I will leave this topic open a short time to see if others have links to any documented proof that the medical certificate is accepted.

Sorry but if your RT-PCR test is positive for Covid you cannot fly to Thailand. I watch many forums and have seen no such acceptance.
