What are the current quarantine rules for tourists arriving in Thailand with a 40-day tourist visa?
Hello just arrived March 11 at 11:30 PM got my tourist visa for 40 days 30 +10 does that mean my ASQ is only 10 days has there been a big change yesterday I’m calling my representative of my hotel now they haven’t got back to me
Answer summary
A user recently arrived in Thailand on a tourist visa valid for 40 days and is questioning the duration of their Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ). Comments clarify that there has been no significant change to the quarantine duration, which remains at 16 days (15 nights) as of now. The discussions highlight confusion over visa stamping and future policy changes expected to take effect on April 1, 2021, concerning reduced quarantine requirements.

Honestly I see 20 April too. With all the stamping they do, don't understand why they can't stamp the date in.

@Garrett **********
Before covid, they almost always stamped mines.

nights in 16 days if That’s what you’re questioning about. If it is, I can’t believe you entered the country not knowing how many days are required to stay in quarantine.
Jim ********
@Edward *******
Read the post again. He thought the date was 20th April which would just be 40 days so he was asking if the quarantine had already been reduced to 10 days but in fact it’s a thai style 4 and the date on the stamp is 24th April 👍เอ็ดเวิร์ด *******
@Jim *******
ok. thanks
Stuart *********
A tourist visa (TR) would have given you 60 days on arrival. A visa exempt entry gives 45 days (increased from 30 to take in to account for the need for 15 nights mandatory quarantine)
Jim ********
Yeh that’s 24th which is bang on 45 days. Should be clearer for sure through
Naomi **********
We had the same thing. With a two month visa they stamped us informed only 15 days. Where. We go in on the date specified they will give us a stamp for the remainder of the 60 days. They may ask for more money though as some people have reported, it just depends on what province you are in.
Grant ************
It’s still 16 days and 15 nights nothing has changed as yet. It has never been 14 days!
Andriy *******
@Grant ***********
... yes, when I been on quarantine I asked the hotel staff why I have to stay 16 days, if all authorities said about 14...)))) no body no reply’s)))Grant ************
@Andriy ******
yep it’s garbageFrédéric ******************
Each time I enter Thailand, I check my stamp right after passing the immigration boot in order to have them correcting on the spot in case of discrepancy. Otherwise you'll spoil a day at the immigration office to have is rectified.
Frédéric ******************
They wrote 24 the Thai way.
Steven **********
OPYes that is a four I can’t believe my lying eyes
Thanks a lot man just wishful thinking

Tony *********
That's 24th not 20th
Oliver ********

Istvan *********
Definitely not 10 days. That's not official yet and just for people who have vaccinated.. I guess they just simple miscalculated your days.
Peter *********

They wrote 24 no 20 in fact it is 45 days
Peter *************
Always check stamp in airport
