Guidelines for travellers who have previously been infected with COVID-19

• Those previously infected with COVID-19 are considered fully vaccinated if they have received a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine at any time after their recovery. They are required to submit proof or medical record of COVID-19 recovery alongside the single-dose vaccination certificate.
• Those fully vaccinated before contracting COVID-19 are still considered to be fully vaccinated.
• Those recovered from COVID-19 within 3 months before travelling to Thailand must present a valid medical certificate certifying the full recovery (within 3 months but no less than 14 days before travelling) or that they are asymptomatic in case the COVID-19 RT-PCR – or professional ATK – test shows a positive result.

In addition to being fully vaccinated, international travellers should have all of their advance arrangements in good order for arrival and entry. For more information: https://www.tatnews.org.
