Hello,
Concerning the PCR test before departure, can you confirm me that it is valid 72h before the first international flight? If it is > to 72h once arrived in Thailand, it is not a big deal?
Does the 72h start at the time of the test or at the reception of the result?
I'm sorry if there were already posts about this.
Thanks !
TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers to Thailand need to ensure their PCR test is taken no more than 72 hours before departure from their home country. The start time for the 72-hour validity is based on the timestamp provided on the test result. However, some airlines may have different policies, requiring tests taken just 48 hours prior. If a traveler tests positive, they should be prepared for a potential 10-day hotel quarantine upon arrival.
