Will Thailand open its borders for foreigners without residence permits in July 2020?
Hi everybody. I am currently in Indonesia but need to get back to Thailand as I have a flight home from Bangkok to Europe in early July.
Are there any rumors circulating about Thailand opening their borders for foreigners (withour residence permit) in July?
Thanks in advance for any info ✌️

If and only if you have obtained all boarding passes for all legs of flights and without reclaiming luggages in between, ie a checked-through flight to Europe, at the time when you depart from Indo ... otherwise, no chance u could transit in Thailand in early July

If you can come, you'll need to quarantine for two weeks at absolute premium, 100$/night minimum up to 5000$/night. Good luck

On the basis that I doubt there are any airlines flying Indonesia to Europe via Bangkok, except Thai who aren't currently flying, then I don't fancy your chances. Any flights from Indonesia directly to where you need to go in Europe?

OP@Darren ******
Yes, seems there are flights from Indonesia to Europe but I'll have to cancel my original booking. And I also wanted to pick up some stored luggage in BKK but it seems this will have to wait indefinitely. 😕

Only if you are already in Thailand..I have just traveled to London via Phuket-Doha-London. With Qatar airline ..

This is complicated. If your ticket was booked seperate it maybe you cannot fly out as I have not read about any transit flights. I know Changi allows transit flights but I am skeptical about Bkk. Best to contact the airline you are booked on from Bkk. They should be able to tell you.

Are your flights on ONE ticket or separate tickets? Do you fly into and out of the same airport in Bangkok?
Erik *********************
Transit should be OK 👍

If you are just flying through as a connection, you’re fine.

Is your flight out of Bangkok with an airline that actually is flying at the moment?A ticket is no guarantee.

If you can hold out in transit without entering the country. It shouldn't be a problem.

It’s NOT a connecting flight.He says it ORIGINATES in BKK. 😱Dale *******
@Jane **********
ID imagine it would be a connecting flight. Talk to the author not me, I'm stuck in Singapore for the next 3 monthsJane ***********
@Dale ******
but you can’t do that unless it’s a CONNECTING FLIGHT. Airlines don’t allow it. Dale *******
@Jane **********
depends on airline, if he's checked in from original departure airportto his final destination. Shouldn't be a problemJane ***********
@Dale ******
he says the flight is originating from BKK. He won’t be allowed out of arrivals (from wherever he’s flown in from) to check in for that flight. In fact it’s unlikely he will be allowed to board at all without documentation to do so. He’s not ‘in transit’ for a connecting flight.
