Thailand TEST & GO: what you need to know
UPDATED 1 MARCH 2022. Here’s everything you need to know about Thailand’s revised Test & Go entry process for international travellers.
With the Test and Go program, you need to pre-book an approved hotel or resort for at least one day, be tested upon arrival and once you receive a negative result, you can go wherever you like. You’ll also need to self-administer a RAT test on Day 5 and upload the result to the MorChana App. You are also still required to show required documents to Thai authorities to be granted entry. Here are the requirements:
- A Thailand Pass. Apply HERE.
- A medical certificate indicating a negative PCR test
- Travel insurance with health coverage no less than US$20,000.
- Proof of prepayment for one night’s accommodation at a Safety and Health Administration Extra Plus (SHA++) hotel, which includes the expenses for a PCR test to be taken on Day 1, and a self-administered RAT test on Day 5.
- Certificate of vaccination or recovery.
- Download and install the MorChana application to record the Day 5 RAT test result.
Thailand Pass QR Code
You will need to obtain a QR Code that will can be downloaded after successful application for a Thailand Pass. Provide all the necessary details and upload documents that are asked and wait for confirmation or approval for you to receive a QR Code which will be scanned upon arrival in Thailand. Apply HERE.

You will need to obtain an internationally recognised Certificate of Vaccination.
Know that the certificate of vaccination will only be accepted if the vaccines you have received are approved by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) or by the World Health Organization (WHO). And it must be dated at least 14 days before your scheduled travel date.
Children that are under the age of 18, are not required to be vaccinated as long as their parent or guardian is vaccinated and has a certificate of vaccination.
Medical Certificate for COVID-19 Test Result
To enter Thailand, you are required to have a negative RT-PCR test result. The result must be issued within 72 hours of the travel date.
If you have recovered from COVID-19, you will need a Certificate of Recovery. It will serve as proof that you have recovered from COVID-19 for at least 3 months.
Travel Insurance
You will have to purchase travel insurance that covers the costs of COVID-19 related incidents in case one gets infected during the stay in Thailand. The COVID-19 insurance must have a minimum coverage of $20,000.
Confirmation of Pre-paid Accommodation
You are required to book a hotel for at least 1 night for Day 1 and provide proof of your booking at Check-in on your departure, and at Immigration on arrival to Thailand.
