ORIGINAL POSTER

My partner and I are flying to Thailand mid-January. He is Thai and I am not. We got lucky and our Thai passes were approved for test and go. I definitely need an rt-pcr test to get on the plane, but does he need one as well?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The question pertains to whether a Thai citizen needs an RT-PCR test to travel under the Test and Go program in Thailand. Responses indicate that while the foreign partner definitively needs a PCR test, the Thai partner may also need one, depending on airline requirements, although Thai citizens generally do not require insurance under this program. It's recommended to have a PCR test done for safety, even if not mandated.

I think it would be better for him to have a pcr test.he may not be asked for proof of it but as the saying goes its better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it.

I think you might be correct. I flew Qatar this year they had some stipulation but it was for country of destination.

I have checked with the airline and it seems he only needs what the Thai government requires. I have just seen differing sources of what's required.

Tina Vander Wielen the reason I mentioned is because I saw a few people say Ethiad require their passengers to have a PCR. So if someone advises that thais don't need by government rules, you could then have got caught out by your airline rules. I have arranged for my son who carries a Thai passport a test even though I don't think Thais need the PCR prior to boarding, but I wasn't 100% sure, so I just booked him.

I believe if using test&go Thai person requires PCR test. The only thing they don't need is insurance.
