It has recently been announced that Thailand’s borders will reopen for yacht charter, after their initial closing in March 2020.
As of this month, Thailand’s borders have reopened to visitors who are fully vaccinated and hold a Thailand Pass under their Test and Go Scheme. As well as this, other travel restrictions have been relaxed; including restrictions regarding mandatory quarantine periods.
See the updates on Thailand’s travel restrictions below:
With Thailand’s borders reopen, travellers are now allowed into the country if they:
- Have a Thailand Pass (must be fully vaccinated)
- Possess a medical certificate indicating a positive result not less than 14 days, and no more than 90 days before departure
- Quarantine in prepaid accommodation. This has been reduced to one night only. For those arriving by yacht, a stay aboard is sufficient.
- Hold a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of departure
- Take an additional PCR test on arrival, with a further ATK Self-test administered on days 5-6
In regards to the Thailand Pass, it is heavily advised that travellers submit their registration at least 7 days ahead of departure, as the current processing time is 3-7 days.
