ORIGINAL POSTERIf Thailand is proposing opening up to fully vaccinated tourists without quarantine in November will you still have to apply for a certificate of entry.
Thank you in advance
Thank you in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the uncertainty of Thailand's entry requirements for fully vaccinated tourists set for November. Various commenters express skepticism about the relaxation of policies, suggesting that a Certificate of Entry and a possible quarantine period might still be necessary. They highlight the unpredictable nature of Thai government regulations and the need for travelers to prepare for changes, with concerns about how visas and ticketing might be affected. Some advise planning ahead despite the lack of clarity.

Good question, speaking from a wealth of ignorance I would imagine there will still be a requirement for the CoE to ensure travellers have valid vaccination before travel.

No it will open from January 2022

im assuming i can fly out of usa on oct 31 and if i arrive thailand nov 2. then i get the nov rules that will apply to me. i realize its a stupid question but airlines here are notorious for being hard asses. i cant tell you how many times they want my visa to go to thailand when i get a free 30 days. ( pre covid}Michael ********
@Bill ********
problem with that idea, whilst its logical Thailand doesnt always work logically.When they reduced quarantine in April (was shortlived) some people got stuck in limbo and did full quarantine.
Same now with october 1st rules people who arrived September 30 have to do full quarantine but apparently thats being sorted.
COE application states those on visa free entry and tourist visa must have and onward ticket

what u mean why? i see that krabi (pp and railay) are open for the 7 nights in addtion to ko tao and kpy. so more options for the seven nights are available now. I SEE THE SAMUI OPTION U MUST TRANSfer thru the bkk airport. but hard to get a continuous ticket from usa all theway to samui so i would have to buy a separate ticket from bkk to samui. i wonder if they would allow that , it would be two ticketsReply to

There is no way in the world to predict what will happen on November 1st. Thai government agencies are notorious for backflips and postponements. Back in May, ASQ was reduced to seven days. An outbreak at a nightclub in Thong Lo meant ASQ reverted to 14 days. The only advice I give is not to assume anything. November 1st could similarly see restrictions re-imposed. Always wait for official announcements from the cabinet, not from TAT!

My personal opinion. I think COE and at least 3 day quarantine is going to be the norm. Reason I think this is 1st money. 2nd 3day quarantine allows them to PCR test people arriving off flights. Just my thoughts.
Michael ********
No body knows any details of what is happening and if they follow normal pattern you will only find out a few days before

done ASQ before and now done sandbox. Prefer to travel than wait.Andy *********

We just booked for going back to Jamaica again this year - so, we travel a bit still. We'll make it back to SE Asia. After we got caught back in the US last year, we moved to Florida. Got to admit, life here is turning out better than we thought it would. Still, missing Bangkok life...Michael ********

Fond memories of travelling around Jamaica as a skint engineer who had just finished his apprenticeship. EnjoyAndy *********

Thanks! We've been going there a couple times a year for a few years. Nice place, good people. Still, not Thailand though... lol.Reply to

Exactly why we're waiting. And waiting, and waiting... lolMichael ********
@Andy ********
yep and not good to get stuck in limbo land, like people who arrived just before october 1st and end up doing 14 days and people who arrived after will get out of quarantine first.Andy *********
@Michael *******
Sadly, we had just sent off for background checks for our visas. This was the 3rd time too, lol. Michael ********
@Andy ********
you got 3 months once you get visa to enter countryAndy *********
@Michael *******
Well, 1st time starting to apply, then the Samut Sakhon restrictions were enacted. 2nd attempt, the April '21 lockdown. Hoping the COE & quarantine requirement ends, and many businesses open back. We'd prefer to go right into Bangkok with no restrictions. We'll see what happens this time. Wife's family is in Vietnam, and we tended to bounce between Bangkok-Saigon. Family there are just now able to get out of the house after a long lockdown.Reply to
