You seem to have good knowledge so I will give you my status and see if you can advise I lived in Thailand 2003 to 2018 then moved to ireland now i want to return to Thailand I am J&J vacinated and so is my thai wife. I have made requests for my blank english and irish criminal records to be released. I have sold the irish house that was acting as my home and completion should take place late sept We have flights booked in early nov but they are flexible tickets I qualify for most thai visas I am married to thai lady I am over 50 years in fact 65 years old I have more than 10 m in savings so i qualify for elite but i do not like terms i have the 10 m required for investment visa but I do not consider the restrictions to be fair I could opt for the 3 mill investment visa which seems like a good idea as I will probably take 3 mill with me to buy a condo Now ubonjoe what would you do if you were in my position. Would you wait until the Thai Visa in London decides to answer the phone and then apply for the non im o visa. Or would you just get covid insurance, a medical, and COE then fly to Bangkok or Ko Samui, or Phiket and get my o visa after I have done the quarantine.....oh yes doe my thai wife require covid insurance

Well it seems both you and myself consider the paperwork as inappropriate, but maybe we both lack education as to how the world and especially England has changed it seems when I worked as head of security at shrubland hall (yes james bond shrubland hall) the criminal record check made by my employers only went back seven years but now they go back 100 years

You are correct and to make things worse said people tend to preach, but hate it if anyone preaches to them

My instant re-action to your post was it was incredibly stupid, having said that anything is possible

Already sold house in Ireland and trying to get things sorted, lets do this by points 1) I am UK citizen, I lived in Thailand 2003-2018 mainly using retirement visa, then I moved Ireland now I want to move back to Thailand a) Is there a short cut for someone who only left thailand a few years ago b) I tried e visa got registered but it rejected my application it would seem because my place of residence does not match my passport. I received the message please apply in person at nearest embassy, but the Dublin embassy is closed and tells people to apply online, and the Thai embassy in London is closed. I tried phoning the Thai embassy in London but after hanging on for 30 min gave up. I have e mailed the Thai Embassy in London but after a week no answer.......Should I apply on a form to London if yes which form for Non Imm 0 visa leading to retirement visa 2) The thai visa webb site says I have to get a medical saying I do not suffer from certain deseases ....said deseaces are mainly tropical and not often caught in Ireland do I really need this certificate and if yes where do I go for it in Ireland a GP doctor or Hospital Doctor. 3) The thai embassy also ask for a criminal record report from couintry of residence and country of passport. Now I believe in England criminal records are deleted (spent) after 7 years so considering I have not lived in England for 18 years and have not visited england for 10 years the english criminal record check would be useless. Also in total I have only lived in Ireland for 2 years I cannot see how Irish criminal records are of any good......Therefore I would suggest an application for papers concerning my Thai criminal record would be the most appropiate 4) Also the thai embassy say I must have a flight going to Phuket. Well as of mid august that is reasonable but my booked flight to Bangkok is in Nov and when said date arrives Bangkok might be open...might reduce ASQ to 7 days, pattaya might be open, phuket might be closed, or everywhere in Thailand might be closed, or I might decide to go to ko samui Please answer the questions you can answer
