ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi Community,

I get my 2nd vaccine jab on 10th August, meaning ill count as fully vaccinated on 24th August.

If I want to apply for the Phuket Sandbox COE I guess the earliest date for me to apply for COE is 24th August because only then I can provide the vax certificate?

Or would it be possible any earlier if I can prove that by travel date i will have the full certificate?

Thanks for replies.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the appropriate time to apply for the Certificate of Entry (COE) for the Phuket Sandbox program following their second COVID-19 vaccine jab on August 10th, which allows them to be considered fully vaccinated as of August 24th. They question whether they can apply for the COE before the August 24th date, given the timeline of their vaccine certification and travel date. Community responses suggest checking with the local embassy or consulate for specific rules, emphasizing that travel cannot commence before 15 days post-vaccination, which would be August 25th.

I don’t see why you can’t ‘apply’ as long as you are a full 14 days after 2nd jab before you fly.

If your flight is more than 14 days after the vaccine, I don't see it would be a problem to apply for COE for the date of the flight. Is there nothing on the COE application which covers this?

Cannot travel before day 15 after vaccination, so 25th.

My guess is that would be up to your local embassy/consulate to consider. I’m sure each will have different rules. Probably best to ask them directly.
