Safety & Health Administration (SHA Plus+)
Exemption from Quarantine (Test and Go)
Sandbox Program
Information correct as of the 1st November 2021
What is a SHA Plus+ Facility?
The ‘SHA’ logo certifies that venues and businesses have public health measures in place for COVID-19, while the ‘Plus’ sign confirms that employees in the organization are fully vaccinated.
Upon Arrival in Phuket?
Upon arrival in Phuket, you will undergo a COVID-19 RT-PCR test, it is then necessary to travel to the retreat via a SHA+ registered transfer and remain/relax in your room until a NEGATIVE test result has been received (usually maximum 6hrs).
Once a negative test result has been received you are able to enjoy Phuket and roam around freely. A further Antigen Quick Test (ATK) is required on day 6 and you can upload your results into the Mor Chana App on your phone.
Phuket Entry Requirements?
There are two options to enter Phuket for vaccinated travelers (Exemption from Quarantine (Test and Go) scheme and Phuket Sandbox Scheme). Both schemes allow you to enter Phuket and travel freely within the province so you can enjoy Phuket’s amazing beaches.
Both entry options require a pre departure RT-PCR COVID testing along with a RT-PCR test upon arrival in Phuket and a Antigen Test Kit (ATK) on day 6, a valid health insurance covering COVID-19 for a minimum of 50, 000 USD, a vaccination certificate and a booking confirmation in a SHA plus registered facility (Amity Wellness is a licensed SHA Plus Facility).
The difference between the two schemes is dependent on if you are travelling from an eligible country (see list below). Travelers on the Test and Go Scheme are required to stay in a SHA plus facility for the first night and the Phuket Sandbox travelers are required to stay in a SHA plus facility for the first 7 nights (Amity Wellness is hosted at The Venus, a licensed SHA Plus Facility).
