Hello. I will only have a transit/transfer at BKK for only 6hrs. My question is am I required to have a RT-PCR test or my proof of vaccination is enough?

I saw this and it says OR.

Thank you for your inputs.

Gilnela Vergara. So you'd only need any tests stipulated by the airline and for entry to Philippines. You don't need one to be in the airport

The airline is the authority that will be providing your boarding passes. International transfers have been allowed at BKK for some time. Do you not need a PCR test to enter PI anyway?

Gilnela Vergara. In that case I would do what the Thai government is saying.

yes I do have a through ticket. International transfers are allowed it's just that I need clarification with the requirement. I called my airline and they said it's not needed (the test) but the thai govt says otherwise.

Gilnela Vergara..Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were already in Thailand and transiting from a domestic flight. I don't know how it works. I didn't think international transfers were permitted in Bangkok. Do you have a through ticket?

Well, because according to the picture above, it's either a test OR proof of vaccination so I have to be sure. 😊
