The Thai consulate will suspend the Thailand passport from 22.12.2021 for at least 14 days. All persons who have already received a QR code of the Thailand passport required for entry can enter the country as usual. People who have applied for a Thailand passport but have not yet received one must wait for it to be issued. The Thai authorities cannot say whether and when the QR code will be issued. People who have not yet applied for a Thailand passport cannot travel to Thailand at this time. All "Test and GO"and Sandbox applications are suspended, except the "Phuket Sandbox"program.
Fully-immunized travellers who have not yet received a QR code can enter the country using the "Phuket Sandbox Model" (no transit in Bangkok! only direct flights to Phuket). Entry to Bangkok is still possible, but only with a 7-day hotel quarantine (AQ).
The Russian consulate informs that the consular section will be closed between 03.01.2022 and 07.01.2022 due to the Russian Christmas, i.e. the first regular opening day of the consulate will be on 10.01.2022.
We kindly ask you to take this into account in your travel plans.
