I didn't know that was a possibility. When I went in December interesting, I remember people asking about that but it was generally understood that it wouldn't be accepted. Not that it matters for me anymore.

I don't care about the Thai pass, I just don't want to buy the insurance :)

Just noticed the new requirements are listed on the US Embassy Thailand website now as well: COVID-19 Information - U.S. Embassy & Consulate in Thailand (usembassy.gov)
Are U.S. citizens permitted to enter? Yes. From July 1, 2022 onwards, travelers entering Thailand will no longer be required to register on Thailand Pass. They will be subject to new entry measures as follows: Entry Measure for Foreign Nationals (From July 1, 2022)

Can anyone confirm if they've had any issue using a vaccine QR code on Arrival instead of the paper CDC vaccine certificate? I seemed to have misplaced my paper versions last week, but I have the QR code page from CVS.

I have just arrived at BKK (Wednesday 6/29). My Thailand Pass was checked, but nobody checked my vaccination status.

Thanks. I won't be using a Thailand Pass (july 2nd), so I'm wondering how the process will change. Btw how long did it take you from the time you got off the plane until you were free to head to your hotel?
As the previous poster mentioned, no one checked my vax card - just TP. I transited through Narita and all transit passengers were directed to a special area where TP was checked again. So TP was checked prior to departure in the US, again at Narita, and upon arrival. One suspects you will find a similar situation with the vax documentation along your route. Edit to add: Did you take a photo of your vax card prior to misplacing it? If so, I'd probably bring the photo and the CVS QR code just to be safe. |

I arrived at BKK at approx 11:00 pm on 19 June. With fast track immigration (wasn't really necessary but I had it so...) I was in a car and on the way to the hotel in less than 30 mins. I arrived at my hotel in central Bangkok by midnight.

For the vax, I do have photos, just not the originals at the moment. I was considering having CVS recreate it. Weird that they checked at Narita and good to know, last time I went to BKK and transited NRT they just dumped me right in to the terminal which has been policy since 2019 for US arrivals. EDIT: CVS recreated my card in 5 minutes |

Great info thanks, which airline did you take to Narita and did they let transit or people entering Japan off the plane first?

We did not change terminals and there was no additional security inspection upon arrival - only the documents check. UA lounge was closed, ANA lounge was open, KAL lounge open until 8:00 pm. I was at Narita on a Sunday and it was like being in a zombie movie. 90% of shops closed, very few people (relatively speaking to my previous trips through NRT.) Edit to add: Masks were required on all flights and at NRT. |

I changed planes in ICN, flying SFO-ICN-BKK. Asiana staff meet the UA plane on arrival in ICN and escorted us to security and transfer desk. Impressive service. Everyone needed a new OZ BP and TP checked again there. On arrival in BKK, everything went quickly, even though A380 plane had 300 or so pax. No line up for immigration at 11:20 pm. No need for “fast pass”. The only delay was for luggage, perhaps 10 minutes. 🧳 I was out of the airport less than an hour after arrival, and that includes long walks from C arrival gate.

Flew UA to Narita then switched to ANA ("operated by Air Japan"). Transit passengers were let off the plane first, passengers entering Japan told to remain seated until we had disembarked the plane.
