Can you enter Thailand with an elite visa without a Covid-19 vaccination?
Hi everyone, is it possible to travel into Thailand with an elite visa, without having a covid19 vaccination yet?
Also, can Filipino citizens apply and get an elite visa as well?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help.

Answer summary
Traveling to Thailand with an elite visa does not exempt you from the country's quarantine requirements, which are in place irrespective of your visa status. Currently, if you're planning to enter Thailand and do the Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ), you do not need to be vaccinated. However, to participate in the Phuket Sandbox program, vaccination is mandatory, with no exceptions. Additionally, there are no nationality restrictions for applying for the elite visa, meaning Filipino citizens can apply for it as well.

Before you apply for the Certificate of Entry, you need TEMQ approval from Thai Elite. I suggest you join the Thai Elite Facebook group for details.

Read his question he doesnt mention sandbox at all, with an elite visa he has full rights to apply for COE and enter into an ASQ in Bangkok or Chonburi without a vaccination

Elite visa is a money milking scam pulled on people who otherwise have no other way to get a long term visa. Can’t even legally work on jt

Whats funny? Garrett ***********
Visa status doesn't change the quarantine requirements. You don't need a vaccine if you're going to do ASQ in Bangkok. You must have a vaccine to do the Phuket sandbox though, no exceptions (including Thai people).
There is no nationality restrictions on the Elite visa.
