ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello friends,

I have to go to "engwattana Immigration Office" to get my new visa on Wednesday. The email I received says I need to get an ATK test. However it doesn't say if it needs to be certified or anything like that. 

Can I just go to a pharmacy and take an atk test? 

Or do I need to go to a hospital / clinic? 

Thanks for the advice 😀

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires whether an ATK test for a visa application at Engwattana Immigration Office needs to be certified, as specified in an email notification. The comments suggest that ATK tests from pharmacies are acceptable, and one commenter claims that no ATK test is required to enter the Chaengwattana Government complex.

You DO NOT need an ATK test to get in to Chaengwattana Gov't complex, just fill out the form and go in.

IF they decide you need to take a test they send you downstairs to take a test free on site

I don’t think so; I’ve been to Chaengwattana several times this year (last was April) and even though there were signs and even a booth for ATK testing I was not required to do a test. The only mandatory thing is a health declaration which you will fill in before entering at Gate 2 Building B. If you want to be absolutely certain then do an ATK test before going, but a note from a doc or pharmacist is not necessary.
