The vaccine (second dose of Sputnik V or the only component of Light) must have been received at least 14 days prior to entry. A medical certificate must be presented. The document must be translated into English and received no more than 180 days before entry. If there are no documents listed above, the passenger must pass the test at the airport of arrival. He will pay for the test himself.

Aeroflot also said that it will be possible to do a test for covid-19 upon arrival in Thailand. “In the absence of a certificate or certificate, the tourist will be asked to undergo PCR testing for COVID-19 at the airport of arrival,” the company said.

A similar list of documents will be asked from S7 passengers, a company representative told RBC. “According to the current information, passengers without symptoms of COVID-19 will be allowed on the flight without these documents. But upon arrival in Thailand, they must be ready to undergo selective paid PCR testing,” he said.
