Non-tourists entering Thailand via Phuket have issued a 48-page order issued by Phuket's provincial government. The order covers everyone from repatriating Thais, as well as foreigners who are permanent residents or have long-term visas, students, workers passing through, and consular visits. Anyone who isn’t visiting, or travelling through, Phuket as a tourist.
If you were looking for some easing of general restrictions for non-tourist arrivals on the island, you won’t find it here.
The order is NOT related to tourists arriving in Phuket or the proposal to allow non-quarantine tourism after July.
The long order goes through all of the requirements of non-tourists in excruciating detail. Nearly all conditions of entry for these non-tourist groups are identical…
• No more than 72 hours before arrival, documents must be issued.
• The traveller is not infected, a Covid-19 test.
• A Certificate of Entry
• Before arrival, travellers must have a Thai tracking app (there are currently three).
• Travellers will be subject to swab tests on arrival and again before the end of their quarantine period.
Notably, all arrivals must do a mandatory quarantine period. Vaccinated travellers spend in quarantine for seven days. Unvaccinated travellers spend the full14 days in quarantine. If you had been given one of the two-dose vaccines and only had one dose, you will be required to spend in quarantine for ten days.
