Thailand relaxes entry quarantine restrictions

Dear tourists, tourists who want to visit the island have been waiting for so long! The COVID-19 Epidemic Management Center announced on the 19th of this month that the quarantine period for entry into Thailand will be shortened from April 1, and it will consider lifting entry quarantine restrictions from October.

Phase 1: Starting from April 1, Thailand will shorten the quarantine time for foreign tourists arriving in Thailand from the original 14 days to 10 days. If there is a vaccination certificate, it will be closed for 7 days; and it is no longer required Provide "Certificate of Airworthiness". During the quarantine period, if the nucleic acid test is negative, you can use gyms, outdoor sports equipment, swimming pools, etc. Even cycling and shopping in designated places~

However, there are certain conditions for the 7-day quarantine period: vaccination must be certified by the Ministry of Health of Thailand; complete vaccination should be completed more than 14 days before the departure date; arrival Show the vaccination certificate to the staff at the time, and the decision will be made after review by the staff.

The second phase: From July 1, Phuket will be fully opened. Foreign tourists who have received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine do not need to be quarantined when entering Phuket, and they can leave the island after visiting Phuket for 7 days. Other areas implement 0.7 isolation measures. If you test negative during quarantine, you can dine in restaurants and enjoy massage services.

The third phase: Starting from October 1, foreign tourists entering Krabi, Phang Nga, Koh Samui, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai demonstration areas do not need to be quarantined, but they need to download software to track their whereabouts. Compulsory entry quarantine will only be imposed on "visitors arriving from certain areas." After that, Thailand’s quarantine policy will change from “mandatory centralized quarantine” to “closed observation bubble closure”. I believe that the motherland will definitely not be on the list of specific regions!

I believe China’s immigration quarantine measures should be relaxed in July, when traveling will no longer be a luxury!

Nepal Relaxation of epidemic prevention measures and no need for quarantine upon entry

Nepal Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Culture

Prior to the introduction of the new regulations, all foreign passengers entering Nepal by air need to be quarantined at their hotels/residences. Closed for at least 7 days.

Last week, the Nepalese government cabinet also approved a new "Inbound Passenger Management Regulations" to allow international passengers who cannot apply for a visa to Nepal in their country/region to enjoy visa on arrival at the airport.

There are as many as three direct flights to China, with no mandatory transfers. The feasibility of transfer is greatly improved. How could it be a pit? But I am still very worried, for the following reasons:

1. The China-Nepal route bombs every now and then. Himalayan Airlines H9787 has been grounded for 2 weeks since March 22, and Air China CA438 has been grounded for 4 weeks since March 22. Now only China Southern Airlines CZ6068 is supported (China Southern Airlines has just resumed operations;

2. Before the relaxation of entry restrictions, Nepal has always been a popular transit point. After the relaxation, more people will flock to it. It’s easy to get “caught” during transit because there are too many people or the ticket price will increase.

3. With so many people recruited, I don’t know what the embassy in Nepal will do.

Air China adds direct flights to India.

According to Air China’s new international flight plan from April to June, Air China will add a round-trip direct flight to India in May. Flight number is CA947/. 948 (Beijing capital = Delhi, the first entry point is Taiyuan, departing every Monday and returning on Tuesday. By then, friends returning from India will only be able to take direct flights and cannot transfer.

EY862, EK072, CA910, DE8442 circuit breaker.

According to the instructions of the Civil Aviation Administration, Etihad Airways flight EY862 (Abu Dhabi to Shanghai) will be suspended for 2 weeks starting from April 5.

Turkey Airlines flight TK72 (Istanbul to Guangzhou) will be suspended for 2 weeks from April 5 (the flight entry date);

German Condor Airlines flight DE8442 (Frankfurt to Xi'an) will be suspended for 2 weeks from April 5 (the flight entry date).

Bangladesh needs to participate in a closed loop when going to China Management.

According to the regulations of the Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh, starting from March 29, relevant airlines, hotels and third-party agencies will jointly conduct inspections for all persons traveling to China (including Chinese and foreign citizens, but excluding those who have submitted documents to China). The embassy has applied for 14-day internal closed-loop management for Chinese-funded state-owned enterprise personnel to implement centralized closed-loop management for the 3 days before boarding.

The details of the closed-loop management are as follows:

Passengers should make a reservation at least 4 days before the flight to China. For example, China Southern Airlines' CZ392 flight on Thursday must be booked before Sunday (including Sunday). The BS325 flight from the United States to Bangladesh on Saturday needs to be booked before Wednesday.

Be sure to arrive at the hotel to check in before 12 noon on the scheduled date, otherwise you will not be allowed to check in.

The designated embassy agency will conduct sampling tests in the hotel room twice. Those who are negative will get a green code;

We will take a taxi to the airport to see you off.

The current direct flights from Bangladesh to China are China Southern Airlines CZ392 (Dhaka-Guangzhou) and China Eastern Airlines MU2036 (Dhaka-Guangzhou). Flights to Kunming are suspended.
