Hi everyone - can’t find an answer on any of the other Facebook pages or sites. With the new May 1st rules, if traveling with a child, a one year old, do they need a PCR test before departure? It seems the way to the THailand pass is set up, that they do, but it seems incorrect.

Answer summary

With the new rules effective May 1st, there is some confusion regarding the necessity of a PCR test for children traveling to Thailand. Comments suggest that if the parents are vaccinated, the child may not need to undergo a PCR test. However, it is still unclear if the child must actually get tested for travel documentation purposes.

Same question. We put PCR on the form (not yet approved, I just did this today), does the 2 year old kid need to actually go get a PCR?

If the parents are vaccinated then the child is basically considered vaccinated too.

thank you! I’m asking for a friend. She is applying for the QR code for her son but it’s asking for his vaccine card or pcr test. Should she just put her vaccine card then due to his age?

I'm not completely sure. Is she trying to apply for the child separately or just add as an accompanying child onto her application?

I've never looked at how the application works for children, I just know the guidelines.
