Proof of yellow fever vaccination required coming from Kenya to Thailand?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Has anyone made the trip from Kenya to Thailand and is able to answer with their personal experience whether proof of yellow fever vaccination was required coming from Kenya to Thailand?  I know officially Kenya is on the list of countries from which Thailand requires proof of yellow fever vaccination, but I have heard from several people that it was never inspected upon landing.

You answered your own question brother :)

Are there any reason not playing safe and get the jab?

555, I know it sounds inane, but I'm just curious if it's one of those required-but-not-enforced things that Thailand loves so much.  For example, prostitution is illegal in the LOS 😉

The area I'd be staying at is not stated to be a yellow fever risk, and I don't feel inclined to get the vaccination.  I'm not looking to debate about vaccinations.

I hear ya. Honestly, I doubt they will ask but you have to balance the pros and cons, what if they do ask? Then your kinda screwed. 

For example, technically you are supposed to have a return flight when you fly into Thailand but I just went a month ago with no return flight and they never said anything. Let me in with no issues. 🤷‍♀️

I think for now issues like this will probably be overlooked but when they introduce the online portal in december it will be more strict imo.

How are your itineraries flying from Kenya? You may or may not fly under the radar if there is a transit in a non risk country.

That's a great point!  I have not bought my tickets yet, but I can definitely route to Dubai first before flying back to BKK.  I wonder if that'd be sufficient enough to circumvent the Kenya yellow fever requirement despite being in Kenya 24 hours previously.  

 

Thank you - that is a very clever workaround!

Cant play the system without taking risks. Let us know if you manage to become either a tourist or a deportee.

This may not be of any benefit if it is all part of the same ticket as Thailand may require a Passenger name record (PNR) from the airline which may contain the information below.  Different countries can request different information from the airline. This is often how countries pick "random" passengers for a customs check, it is not "random" but maybe picked hours before the passenger lands based on a passenger's travel history with some routes almost guaranteed to get you pulled aside!

Whether Thailand will flag arrivals from Kenya and other countries that require Yellow Fever Certificates, who knows and so the only 100% safe method is to be vaccinated, otherwise you need to undertake a "risk analysis" and be prepared to live with the consequences.

A hundred years ago, Thailand wouldn't issue my visa because I had visited in Brazil and didn't have proof of vaccination.

Once I provided a copy of my yellow card it was a moot point.

As to today?  I can't help you.  I'm only sharing historical experience.

There weren’t any reliable yellow fever vaccines a hundred years ago … so I hardly doubt they were asking for proof of vaccination then.  
 

But yeah, getting the vaccine and having an updated yellow card is not difficult and useful for travel throughout Africa and the Americas.

I was refused travel to Tanzania initially for not having the vaccine.

I showed them that my area of Kenya was not a yellow fever zone, and that yellow fever vaccinations were not safe for people over 60 ( which I proved with a Google search).

They allowed me to board with no guarantee that I would be admitted into Tanzania...Tanzania never asked.

It is the airline you fly with to Thailand that is more likely check if you meet the entry requirements of Thailand and deny you boarding if can’t show proof.

The question you may want to ask is if the airline will let you board a non stop flight from Kenya to Thailand without proof of vaccination.  Maybe ask the airline.  I once had the experience of being told I couldn’t board a plane in Peru bound for Brazil without that proof.  Fortunately there was a clinic in the Lima airport and I got the jab and was able to board.

I see "exaggeration" was lost on you.

There you go.  Fixed it.  👍🏻

Thanks for pointing this out.  With this in mind, this is potentially circumventable if the destination legs are not on the same ticket?  So I fly from BKK to Dubai round trip, and have Dubai to Kenya roundtrip and the PNR info for my Kenya leg wouldn't be available to Thailand?

Sure, just make sure you’re give of time between flights in Dubai as your wouldn’t be protected on the second flight should the first flight be late.
