What are the current entry restrictions for Thai citizens visiting the US on B1/B2 visas regarding COVID-19?

@Cha****

There are no restricted countries for US citizens or green card holders, not sure about the b1 visa holders. There were some rumors about banning travel from India, but I don't think that's happened.

The requirement for the US is three days (not 72 hours) prior to departure from the point of origin, and the three-day period applies to when the sample was taken, not when the result came back. From the CDC:

"'Why does the Order specify 3 days rather than 72 hours? What is considered 3 days?'

The 3-day period is the 3 days before the flight’s departure. The Order uses a 3-day timeframe instead of 72 hours to provide more flexibility to the traveler. By using a 3-day window, test validity does not depend on the time of the flight or the time of day that the test was administered.

For example, if a passenger’s flight is at 1pm on a Friday, the passenger could board with a negative test that was taken any time on the prior Tuesday or after."

Hi, I'm from the UK so not qualified at all to speak about USA requirements but are you sure that it's 72 hours before arrival? Mostly, the C19 pcr test is required to be a max of 72 hours prior to departure. May just want to check requiements, just in case.
