Guys. Question about long transit on the way to SANDBOX . Someone know if I can go out from transit in Istanbul ( Moskow-Istanbul 19 hours -Phuket ) and then can board without problem with my PRC test from Russia?
I fly with Turkish Airlines
TLDR : Answer Summary
The question pertains to the feasibility of exiting the transit area in Istanbul during a 19-hour layover for a flight to Phuket, Thailand under the Sandbox scheme. Several comments highlight that if the traveler leaves the transit area and clears immigration, it could complicate their entry process. There are also concerns about whether an RT-PCR test from Russia would be accepted or if a new test from Turkey is required due to the long layover. Ultimately, for travel to Thailand's Sandbox, entering through Bangkok and completing the arrival protocol there is suggested.
