Thanakorn said the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration lifted the pre-travel test condition from April 1 onward and instead required visitors under Test & Go and Sandbox entry schemes to undergo an RT-PCR test upon arrival and conduct a self-antigen test on day 5 after arrival.

Visitors who enter the country through Test & Go, Sandbox and Quarantine channels will no longer have to undergo RT-PCR tests for COVID-19 before their arrival.

Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration lifted the pre-travel test condition from April 1 onward and instead required visitors under Test & Go and Sandbox entry schemes to undergo an RT-PCR test upon arrival and conduct a self-antigen test on day 5 after arrival.

Visitors through the Quarantine scheme must undergo an RT-PCR test on the arrival day and another RT-PCR test on day 4 or 5 before leaving their quarantine facility. The quarantine period for visitors through Sandbox and Quarantine is shortened from seven to five days.
