Leaving on June 30th, Arriving on July 2nd. Do I need to apply for the Thailand Pass?
Answer summary
Given that your departure date is June 30th, you will need to apply for the Thailand Pass as it is currently a requirement. Airlines are enforcing entry requirements based on the departure date, which means that since you are leaving before July 1st, you must comply with the existing rules. It is advisable to apply for the Thailand Pass to avoid any potential issues at the airport, as experiences show that not all ticketing agents are fully aware of upcoming changes in regulations.

I dealt with this on a flight October 30th arriving November 1. This was when the quarantine went from 7 days to 1 day. Qatar airways almost didn’t let me board in SF because ticketing staff were not aware of the change. They made me wait about an hour and ultimately a boarding pass was issued.
The opposite happened when I tried to go to Malaysia through VTL. Denied boarding despite VTL being opened for 8 days.
Not every ticketing agent will put in the work to solve the problem and get approval, do the Thai pass—it’s easy and free (aside from insurance)
