My boyfriend’s arrival date is 17 Jan, arrive at 12:10 hr BKK. He’s coming under Test and Go which was approved before the suspension. I know that flight can be postponed but not more than 72 hours after the original flight. Due to personal reason, he has to change his flight to 20 Jan instead with the same flight number. But his flight on 20 Jan(EY406) will do stop over in Phuket for 1:30 hrs which makes his arrival in BKK 13:10 hr. That makes 73 hrs after the original flight even though he will arrive in Phuket at 10:10 hr. I called ThailandPass call center, but he cannot confirm that this is acceptable or not. He said that the it depends on the immigration officer at the airport or the department of disease control’s staff. Anyone had this similar problem? Please kindly share 😢 Thank you in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is concerned about their boyfriend's changed flight schedule after applying under Thailand's Test and Go program. Originally scheduled to arrive at 12:10 hr on 17 Jan, they wish to change to a flight arriving at 13:10 hr on 20 Jan, exceeding the strict 72-hour arrival window. Despite contacting the Thailand Pass call center, clarity on this issue was vague, leading the user to seek experiences from others. Several commenters provided insights showing a flexible approach by Thai authorities toward minor delays and offered various options for the user's boyfriend's travel. Ultimately, the user confirmed from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that as long as the boyfriend arrived by 20 Jan, he would be fine.
