  1. The spokesman at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thanee Saengrat told Daily News yesterday that between August 1st and 25th 54,745 foreign residents of Thailand had applied for vaccinations against Covid-19 on expatvac.consular.go.th.

     

    These 54,745 do not include those several thousands that were rejected because the system could not take 2 uploads of passport pages as instructed. Invalid in all respects

  2. I like people who can make it brief. Bill Gross is such one and says: "You need something to look forward to, something to do and someone to love". The ability to do so comes from your own qualities and from the opportunities in your surroundings. I don't think for me other countries would make a big difference. We are different. Others may be more 'sensitive' to surrounding country?

     I have being reading these threads with interest since I am set to retire from work and thinking of my options concerning Thailand . 

    The more I do the more confused I get,  It seems the consensus is that no one really has an idea. 

    So I guess we will know in a couple of days.

    Or will we?

    since the ones who are tasked with enforcing the regulation also seem to have no idea as to who it applies to.

    Niels Bohr once at an oral exam in physics was asked by an assistant: 'Hr. Professor, aren't these questions the same as the ones from last year?'

    He answered:'Yes, but this year the answers are new'.

    Whilst applying for my first non-O extension, I overheard a conversation between an IO and an Australian gentleman doing the same. She very clearly told him that next year he WILL need insurance to renew the extension so it will be applying to existing extension holders, at least at the Ubon office.

    And  again: Did the gentleman gently ask: 'What if I cannot get an insurance because of age or pre-existing conditions'?

    Thanks but this does not answer my question . My friend obtained his first type 0 based on retirement in Bangkok last year. Is he eligible to get a re-entry permit before expiration date which would give him a second year without applying for extension of stay ?

    You friend is now in possession of a Non-Immigrant O visa which has not yet expired. On i it says number of entries. If it is 'M' this means multiple within expiration date.

    With this in hand he can not apply for re-entry permit as he already has this permit.

     

    If your friend is here on his 2nd year after Non-Immigrant O visa with en extension of permission to stay for RETIREMENT (which is not a visa) he can apply for re-entry permit but the given permit will expire the same date as the permission to stay.

    So a re-entry permit can not 'give a second year'

    Get an Extension of Stay based on retirement, assuming you meet the financial requirements.

    That was the case 1-2 days ago. Today a lot points towards that that group also will be included. A lot of misunderstanding concerning concepts:

    • It is common to call the extension of permission to stay for a renewal of the Non-Immigrant O-A or O VISA. The extension is not a visa.
    • renew and re-apply

     

    I don't mind getting a reasonable insurance. Just show me a company that will take me with a suitable offer (fitting the immigration requirements).

    Just remember Asian produced size XXXL is barely equivalent to XL in the west.

     

    My advice would be ignore labels and ask the measurement or carry a tailors tape (cloth type tape) in your pocket and check the garments.

    Thank you. Fully agree. That is one reason why one cannot rely on internet sales companies. I carry a measurer in my pocket and also have a good tailor

    Not to mention if he has a family here, there are plenty of visa or Extension options that do not have compulsory insurance requirements.

    there are plenty of visa or Extension options that do not have compulsory insurance requirements.

     

    I am very interested. Could you please be specific and mention by name which ones applicable for foreign retired males above fifty which are living permanently in Chiang Mai?
