Hi, everyone.
Does anyone have experience of traveling to Thailand when they have recently recovered from Covid?
The official guidance states:
- If you have recovered from being infected from COVID-19 and the RT-PCR test before travelling is still positive, travellers need to show a medical record (issued within 3 months) stating that they have recovered from COVID-19. May be vaccinated with only one dose if fully recovered from COVID-19.
- If you have been fully vaccinated before being infected, you can use your vaccine certificates to enter the country as "fully vaccinated" and a medical record (issued within 3 months) stating that they have recovered from COVID-19.
All those who have been infected will have to take a RT-PCR test before travelling as stated in No. 2.
Questions
1. The last asterisked part seems to counter the advice above it. Should I read it that you still have to go through the formality of taking the pre-departure (even though it may still show as positive), but the fit-to-fly certificate issued by a medical professional will over-ride that?
2. I assume you will still have to undergo PCR tests on arrival. As they may also come back positive, would that automatically mean a shift to an official hospital if you have entered under the Phuket Sandbox? Or would the fit-to-fly certificate over-ride that, too?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this.
