I am sure the agent means a Non O after he arrives. He can not get a Non OA impossible.

Of his favourite brand yes

This does not make sense, what do you think the compulsory insurance is for?

Some of you do not understand English. He said he is sweet for aftershave because he brought 35 bottles with him. This means he has enough, not used 35 bottles, for heavens sake. You then insult him about smelling too much. People like you are the problem stinking of sweat. He has run out of shower gel and deodorant. OP there are alternatives over here although they are more expensive. Nivia is the best in my opinion. Find a Lotus's or Big C large store and see what they have.

Either you or your friend are misunderstanding. Either way both of you are wrong. OA can only be obtained in your own country. If entering on a Tourist Visa, the agent can arrange for change of visa status to a Non O (not OA), after that arrange for an extension of stay based on retirement.

I think he means the pre flight RT PCR test. Many companies in the UK call this a Fit to Fly

Whilst there are many people on Facebook who post SPAM there are many help groups specialising in helping peope and providing good information on what is required for returning to Thailand. Whilst aseannow.com have many helpful forums, what is required to return to Thailand and not always offering immediate quick advice is not a strong point. A specialist Facebook group is much better for this in my opinion. This forum especially Ubonjoe offers great visa advice.

Yes join this Facebook group for advice https://www.facebook.com/groups/551797439092744/?ref=share

Cash only. I bet you downloaded the app in the UK or something, if you did it will request credit card option. Delete it and re install

Yes up to 72 hours after but not before. You would of course have to inform the Test and Go hotel.

I assume you are speaking about the UK? I thought this was about Thailand?

So do you want to enter Thailand in Phuket? From the info provided it seems your itiniary is Abu Dhabi to Phuket, no mention of Bangkok

Disgraceful. Its queue by the way not "cue"

Thats another error. It is a bank statement showing £10,000 or an income from a pension of at least £1,000 per month. For the residency just upload yout passport page again.

Xanax occasionally if you can get it. Or Atarax 25mg freely available at pharmacies.

A bit too quick with your comment there @racyrick. Absolute joke of a response from you. If you had taken the time to engage your brain, you would have realise how nonsensical your response was.

He is the OP. He asks for advice and then proceeds to flame someone offering advice

Yes Etihad needs a PCR but they fly via Abu Dhabi, not Bahrain lol

I am aware that my wife can apply for her visa 3 months before her visit. Does anyone know how far in advance the appointments are available. Are they released in blocks or can she submit the application but book the appointment for say 3 or 4 weeks in the future.

Although I am sympathetic to your sitùation, you cant go around blaming others for yout own failings. The requirements clearly say a lab report result via the RT PCR method 72 hours (48 hours with Etihad) before you flight. I cannot understand why you did not ensure that you had this in place. Its a schoolboy error.

I was with you until you mentioned Hoegaarden. What a foul taste that is

So you go around with a smeared @rse all the time then. Since when is the water that cold over here anyway

Just to be 100% clear. Qatar and Emirates follow end country requirements to board their flights. Etihad and Singapore require a PCR test within 48 hours of departure to board their flights no matter where you are flying.

Ok thanks I thought I read that at CW retirement extensions were placed under a consideration period as well, maybe that was marriage extensions.

Ok thanks Tony, I think we will apply soon as possible then.
