There isn’t any travel cutoff date (for now) for those accredited to enter Thailand underneath the Test & Go or Sandbox entry schemes. Following the decision to close Thailand Pass registration for the 2 schemes, the government announced the last group of approved travellers would arrive on January 10. That date was never posted in the Royal Gazette, and a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed with The Thaiger that there isn’t any cutoff date.
The entry schemes and current laws might be reviewed on January 4 by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration. The pressing choice to shut registration for the two entry schemes, excluding the Phuket Sandbox, was made after Thailand’s first native Omicron transmission was reported.
Nothing to it posted a graphic with the January 10 date and an announcement on each the official Royal Thai Government web site and the federal government spokesperson’s Facebook page. (The posts are still up.)
ABOVE: One of the deceptive posts made on a Government portal, since contradicted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The date was additionally reported by numerous media retailers – each Thai and English – together with the National News Bureau of Thailand, which is run by the Government Public Relations Department, and Thai PBS World, which is owned by the Royal Thai Government.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says reports of the January 10 cutoff date are false. The Ministry’s Department of Consular Affairs runs the Thailand Pass website and no cutoff date is mentioned on the website..
