Flying to Norway via Austria with Austrian Airlines from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. According to the Austrian Embassy home page, I do not need to have a negative PCR for transit in Austria as long as I am fully vaccinated. I Am still unsure if there is a requirement to show negative Covid-test at Suvarnabhumi before boarding the plane. I will take the mandatory PCR when landing in Norway, but I would pass on the test and save the 4000 TBH here in Bangkok if possible. If i need to take a test, would Rapid Antigen suffice?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling from Bangkok to Norway via Austria requires understanding the testing requirements at different stages. The Austrian Embassy confirms that if fully vaccinated, a negative PCR test is not needed for transit in Austria. However, uncertainty remains about requirements at Suvarnabhumi Airport before departure, particularly whether a negative test is needed for boarding. Additionally, there is a query about the acceptability of a Rapid Antigen test in lieu of PCR. It is advisable to check with the airline and Norwegian border control regarding their specific requirements.

Does Norway require you to have a negative test prior to boarding at the port of origin? That's the main question. You need to ask your airline and the Norwegian border control of the boarding requirements

Alexander Evensen. In that case you don't need a test. There's no requirement from Thai authorities to have a test. Just ensure you have it writing from your airline that it's not needed. Nothing worse than being declined boarding and having to find somewhere to have a test and get the result before boarding!
