Salerno Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Sounds like garbage to me; if it was the case it would be stipulated here https://swiss.travel-regulations.com/route-info?origin=BKK&destination=ZRH&search-enabled=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 There is no regulation from the Thai side. The things mentioned are required only for entering the country, not leaving. He needs to check entry requirements for Switzerland (if any) and also requirements (if any) of Swiss Airtllines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the source does not earn much reputation. Or completely lost in translation? Edited December 5, 2020 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss citizens can enter Switzerland (via airport) at ANY time. Depending on the originating country he might have to undergo quarantine. What native language is your friend (German, French, Italian?). There is plenty of information on the net. Otherwise I would really suggest contacting Swiss airlines and the Swiss embassy (website) as first sources.

KhunBENQ Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 And Thailand is qualified as one of the few non-risk countries outside Europe. So even quarantine in Switzerland might be dropped.
