Can I enter Thailand through the Phuket Sandbox with a visa on arrival if I hold a French passport?
Hi All,
I applied for a multiple entry tourist visa but still awaiting approval. I may want to come to TH earlier, can I come via Phuket Sandbox with visa on arrival given I hold a French passport?
Thanks!

Yes, but it isn't visa on arrival, it's actually 30 day visa exempt entry, for French nationals. Visa on arrival is a different program granting 15 day entry for some other nationalities. They aren't the same thing.

You can always arrive on visa exemption as a French passport holder.
