How can I prove I've been in one of the eligible countries for 21 days for Thailand entry?
By what means do we provide information to demonstrate or prove we've been in one of the 46 countries for 21 days?
Answer summary
To demonstrate that you have spent 21 days in one of the eligible countries for entry into Thailand, you primarily need your passport with visa stamps. It is now applicable for 63 countries, and you can combine visits to multiple countries on the list. If you visit a country not on the list, the 21-day count resets. There's a mention of uploading passport stamps as proof, but there are inquiries about where to submit this information on the Thai Pass website, as it does not directly request proof during the initial application.

Where are you supposed to provide this proof / information? I just did a "trial run" of the test-and-go questions on the Thai Pass webdsite, and it did not ask for proof

They just want to see that you haven't been in the others countries during those 3 weeks. Just upload passport stamps of your last trip (if any).

They ask it in the visa request, not Thailand pass.Stuart *********
It doesn’t have to be just one of the countries. A combination is fine. If you go to a country not on the list then the 21 days resets.

It’s 63 countries now. Your passport with stamps should be all you need.

Where are you supposed to provide this information / when is it checked? I just did a "trial run" of the test-and-go questions, and it did not ask for proof.I'm curious because I'm also applying for the test and go but I had a 4-hour layover in the last 21 days in a non-approved country (but I have a passport stamp - in an out same day). So I'm wondering if I get the thai pass approved, if that means that they are fine with it and I am good to go?! Thanks 🙏

Sorry I can’t confirm as I’ve not used the ThailandPass system. Almost certainly they’ll go over your stamps with a fine tooth comb on arrival, but that’s just my assumption. Frédéric ******************
@Stuart ********
Just for your info, in the USA you don't have transit zones in the airports. Everyone has to pass the custom and enter the US even for just a layover (and hold a visa if their nationality request it).Stuart *********
Once you have a stamp in your passport for a country you would have been deemed to have left the airport (even if you physically didn’t). Authorities here have no way of knowing whether you did or didn’t. They can only go on the stamps in your passport.

@Ahmed *********
Then almost certainly the 21 days in a combination of “allowed” countries would have reset from the stamp on that date. I couldn’t say for certain, because it’s the first time I’ve come across this scenario. Ahmed **********
@Stuart ********
I did have a stamp because my flights were with 2 different airlines, so I had to clear customs, collect luggage, and check back in, all within 4 hours, without leaving the airport.Stuart *********
@Ahmed *********
Sorry but still confused on this. If you didn’t leave the airport you didn’t clear customs or immigration, so you shouldn’t have a stamp on your passport. If for some reason you do then almost certainly the 21 days would “reset”.

Hm... That's a good point. I don't really know the answer to this.Ahmed **********
@Stuart ********
This Q&A on the Thai MFA site had me unclear. It says for the flight to Thailand, you can't pass immigration in a non approved transit country. In my case, it is not my flight to Thailand, but a flight 15 days before that, which had a transit of 4 hours, I did not leave the airport, but I did pass customs. Not sure if I should just go for it. @Curtis ********************
Stuart *********
Sorry. Re-read your post. Why would you have a stamp in your passport for a country that you were in a layover for? If you didn’t leave the airport you wouldn’t have gone through immigration.

OP@Ahmed *********
Yeah, that is fine. I don't remember the exact length of time that was detailed as acceptable but I remember that it was definitely more than 4 hours. 12 perhaps.Ahmed **********
@Stuart ********
Thank you! Would you know if a 4-hour layover in a non-approved country, 16 days before arrival, with a stamp in the passport, would be an issue? I'm seeing differing opinions. CheersCurtis *******
OP@Ahmed *********
Yeah, that was my experience as well. I don't knowCurtis *******
OP@Stuart ********
do you happen to have a link to the updated list?Stuart *********
