Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health has imposed new travel restrictions on arrivals from the African countries of Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the Omicron variant.
According to the new rules, arrivals from any of the eight countries who already have a pre-approved permit to enter Thailand will be allowed to enter, but all will be subject to a 14-day quarantine. However, arrivals from these countries will not be allowed from December 1, 2021. Meanwhile the admission registration has been closed from November 27, 2021.
For travellers from other African countries, they will no longer be eligible to enter Thailand under the Sandbox programme. However, they will be allowed to enter Thailand under a 14-day quarantine requirement. During the 14 days, they must only remain in their room and undergo 3 RT-PCR tests on Day 0-1, 5-6, and 12-13, respectively.
