What are the entry requirements for traveling to Thailand from the UK with Singapore Airlines?
Hello… has anyone flown Singapore airlines to bkk from the uk? If so, is a RT-PCR test within 48 hours all you need. It’s impossible to get any info from the airline
Summary so far
The inquiry involves traveling from the UK to Bangkok (BKK) on Singapore Airlines, specifically asking about the necessity of a RT-PCR test within 48 hours for entry into Thailand. Community responses indicate that more is required beyond just a COVID test to enter Thailand, suggesting there are additional travel regulations. Users express their experiences and frustrations with gathering information from the airline.

Take a pre-departure Covid-19 test
Most travellers, including Singapore citizens and permanent residents, transiting through Singapore will be required to take a pre-departure Covid-19 test within two days of their flight to Singapore.
The test must be taken at a recognised or accredited clinic, laboratory, or medical facility. Please note that self-administered pre-departure Covid-19 tests will not be accepted for transit through Singapore.

OP@Eddie *****
I’ve already found that. Doesn’t mention about providers though does it.Jdr *******
@Carl *******
Singapore Airlines just says any test that is government accredited is ok.. and for entry into Singapore pre depature can be a lateral flow but may need different for Thailand entryCarl ********
OP@Jan ******
thanks mate. I got an RT PCR the day before I flyEddie ******
@Carl *******
it isn't going to list every provider worldwide is it. It would be one hell of a long list. Besides I cannot understand anyone flying to Singapore to get to bkk try looking at at a map. You will have flown over Bkk to get to Singapore

@Eddie *****
mate, the latter part of your post is a load of nonsense. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason why anyone would choose a certain route.

You mean to enter Thailand? No, you need a lot more to enter Thailand than just a covid test.

24 hrs in a day x 2 = 48 hrs or 2 days
