The Thailand Pass system was introduced with the aim to handle and facilitate the entire documentation process of the persons willing to enter Thailand. Thailand Pass functions as a Thai Passenger Locator Form and includes all travel and health-related information, including vaccine certificates.
Thanks to the Thailand Pass, eligible travelers can register for their scheduled trip and upload all necessary documents entirely online within minutes.
Travelers planning to travel to Thailand must register their data at least 7 business days of their planned trip. Every successful application is followed by receiving the confirmation email along with the unique QR entry code.
Thailand Pass is the essential document that every traveler arriving in Thailand must have amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
All visitors, including the Thai nationals, who fall under one of the travel programs (Test&Go/Sandbox/Alternative Quarantine) need to register online for the Thai Pass.

COVID-19 Thailand entry requirements
Thailand introduced some coronavirus-related entry restrictions that may differ depending on the nationality, vaccination status, and age of the travelers.
Currently, entry to Thailand is possible under three entry programs. All of these programs, however, require a traveler to undergo an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to the arrival time in Thailand (excluding children under 6 years of age).
The three above-mentioned Thai entry programs include:
- The Test&Go
- Dedicated to the fully vaccinated travelers who can enter Thailand without quarantine and sandbox stay. They only need to stay for 2 nights in an ASQ or SHA+ hotel on Day 1 and Day 5. The program was temporarily suspended and resumed in February 2022.
- Sandbox
- Fully vaccinated travelers may also enter Thailand under the Sandbox Programs, which require them to spend at least 7 nights in an accredited SHA+ hotel in the areas of Sandbox (Chon Buri, Phangnga, Krabi, Surat Thani, Phuket, Trat) before entering other parts of Thailand.
- Alernative Quarantine
- Non-vaccinated travelers or those who have not received the full COVID-19 vaccination dose may still enter Thailand but first must undergo a 7,10, or 14-day quarantine in an accredited ASQ or AQ quarantine hotel.
