Hi

Do you need the results of your PCR test before flight to Thailand for your Thai pass application

Thanks
Answer summary
No, you do not need the results of your PCR test to apply for the Thai Pass; however, you must have a negative test result 72 to 48 hours before your flight to board the plane and enter the country. Additionally, you need to pre-book PCR tests for arrival and on day 5-6, and upload a receipt for Thailand Pass.

yes you need a RT-PCR test check with your airline because my airline say I have to have a 48 hour test even though Thailand say you need a 72 hour test and you do not need it for your Thai pass just show once you arrive in Thailand…

no it’s needed for boarding the flight & they check it on arrival before immigration , best to print off the result too, I didn’t have time to print mine off & was fine till I landed in Phuket , they give you an email to send it to & print it off in the airport, but there were a lot of people on the flight the same and was a bit of a hold up to get through immigration due to waiting on the test cert being printed
