I have ED Visa.. is it possible at the moment to make reentry permit and come with this ED Visa back to phuket sandbox? Or only tourist visa? Thank you..

Answer summary

The inquirer asks if they can reenter Thailand under the Phuket Sandbox program using an Education (ED) Visa and a reentry permit. Responses indicate that it is possible to reenter if the Sandbox requirements are met. Experiences shared suggest that individuals with an ED Visa have successfully reentered after obtaining a reentry permit, especially if they have obtained an extension and are still enrolled in their educational institution.

Yes you can reenter Thailand via Phuket if you meet the sandbox requirements. How long is your visa or permission to stay stamp valid for? Have you gotten an extension already? Are you still enrolled at the institution?

I know someone with a language school ED who purchased a re-entry permit and left the country immediately after an extension so they had enough time to get vaccinated in the US and return. They were able to get approved for and entered the sandbox without any issues.

I really do not understand what you are asking...

You say you have an Ed Visa...

I assume you are in Phuket .

Did you enter the Phuket sandbox or were you already in Phuket and not part of the sandbox program?

And wanting to leave Phuket to go somewhere else in Thailand...

And are concerned about your being able to reenter Phuket...

As you are not vaccinated .

If you are studying in Phuket why are you wanting to leave your studies?

A reentry permit does not get you back into Phuket if you are already in Thailand.

Is that correct?
