I've NEVER had so much paperwork to prepare for a trip before! It's especially challenging when you're not in an urban area and in a country that's actively trying to make it difficult and inconvenient to travel. But I think I finally have all my ducks in a row and I'm ready to fly out tomorrow. My final paperwork looks like...
* Qatar Airlines "COVID consent form"
* Qatar luggage tags
* Qatar e-tickets & boarding passes
* Passport (with visa stamp by local Thai Embassy)
* Fit-2-Fly medical certificate (Dr. Donna)
* Negative RT-PCR test result within 72 hours of flight
* Thailand Certificate of Entry (COE)
* T8 form
* Thailand Customs declaration form
* list of gifts being imported with values, just in case
* proof of post-ASQ stay accommodation
* COVID insurance policy for duration of stay
* ASQ hotel reservation confirmation
* Downloaded Thailand Plus app
* A cool cloth to hold to my forehead to relieve the tension! 🤪
TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling to Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic requires extensive documentation, including a Certificate of Entry (COE), a negative RT-PCR test result, a Fit-to-Fly certificate, and proof of accommodation. The process may vary, and travelers have shared experiences indicating varying levels of scrutiny at airports. Ensuring all paperwork is organized and accessible is vital for a smooth travel experience. Additionally, travelers should maintain a calm approach given the complexities involved.
