No ASQ in Pattaya. Think about it before you reply lol

Its all to do with the requirements set my the THAI MFA to get a Certificate of entry. Most embassy's are applying the same insurance reqirements as those that are associated with a Non OA, ie 40k outpatient and 400k inpatient insurance to get a COE for new Non O applications based on retirement and those who have an existing extension of stay based on retirement in Thailand and have a re entry permit. Both also need the $100k Covid insurance.

I have only heard of the UK embassy interpreting it differently. In the UK only new Non O based on retirement needs the 40/400k insurance and the $100k Covid. Existing retirement extensions with a re entry only require the $100k Covid insurance.

If I hear anything I will let you know

Of course you do. You upload visa (unless enterinh Visa Exempt), passport page and $100k Covid insurance. Once that is approved you upload flight and ASQ bookings.

You just need it to get the COE. I can guarantee you that a cheap yearly policy offered by many UK insurers for about £65 will get you your COE. It will not pay out but it will get you the COE. I used one and so have many.

As far as I have seen it is only a limited number of offices that are issuing 3 month report back notifications, and Jomtien are only giving report back notifications to non agent submissions. So I don't think your assertion that the rules have changed is valid.

You have also failed to provide any proof that the agents are being "eliminated" other than your assertion that  "I do not see how the agents could do the their work".

I have in the next 2/3 weeks to submit my annual extension application to one of the most difficult Immigration offices, if you are right in your assertions then I will have major problems, we will see.

Completely agree. Report back has been in operation in Jomtien for ages but this does not apply to agent applications. Its relatively easy to get a retirement extension in Pattaya for 13k

I would be applying for a Non O Single Entry based on me receiving my U.K. StatePension, Health Insurance is not required, I would not be applying for aVisa based on retirement.

I have already posted what is required for a Non O based on Retirement using your State Pension. You will require $100k Covid insurance and 40k/400k health insurance to get the COE or you will not be going. Please take some time to read what UJ and myself have posted to advise you or we are wasting our time if you choose to ignore it.

I am becoming confused now I was on the understanding that only a Covid Insurance was required for a COE for a Non O Single Entry based on some one receiving the U.K. State Pension not Health cover as well or have the rules changed ?

When the Non O based on retirement was reintroduced, the requirement to get the health insurance 40k/400k is required to get a COE. Existing retirement extension of stay holders with a re entry permit only require the Covid cover

I am trying to work out your plan here.

Are you planning on applying for a single entry Non O based on retirement 90 days?

Are you then intending to convert into an extension of stay based on retirement once in Thailand?

In either case you will need $100 Covid insurance and 40k baht outpatient and 400k baht inpatient insurance. This insurance is required for new Non O retirement applications.

If you are just planning to spend 90 days in Thailand then its easier to just get a Tourist Visa 60 days and extend by 30 days in Thailand, only the Covid insurance required for this.

If you are planning to convert into an extension of stay based on retirement once again you do not need the Non O based on retirement with the added 40k/400k insurance. Its easier to either travel Visa Exempt 45 days plus 30 days extension or Tourist Visa 60 days plus 30 extension. Once in Thailand deposit 800k in a Thai bank for 2 months and then apply for a change of visa  status to Non O 2k baht and then extension of stay based on retirement 1,900 baht, no additional insurance requirements.

I am not sure they will do bridge using one implant without crowning another existing tooth, you can ask.

 

Were it me, I would go with two implants. If I was short on dough, I would replace the recently extracted tooth with an implant as soon as possible (I don't think you want the hole to fill in) and get a cheap partial denture until I had the money for the second implant.

 

I would absolutely not get a bridge using the new implant and an existing healthy tooth.  

Thank you for the comments. I only had the tooth extracted 4 weeks ago and its still a bit sore. I will leave it 8 weeks before I decide what to do. Added complication is I have to go back to the UK in July for 3 months so it will have to be done before I go or after. I suppose I could wait and consult my specialist in the UK who is a top dentist and see what he says and then decide what to do. Cant afford UK prices for this though but at least I would have a top opinion on what to do.

So it was a bridge using only one tooth with one prosthetic tooth beside it, and not a bridge using two teeth with a prosthetic tooth in the middle, correct?

 

Your plan is to replace the actual tooth you just lost with an implant, and to then replace the prosthetic tooth with a partial denture, it hat correct? 

 

I have several implants and a bridge, and I like the implants much better. I've also had a couple partial dentures and they're certainly better than nothing but do take a little getting used to.

Thank you. I do not know the correct terminology. What I lost was a tooth that was crowned with a prosthetic tooth attached, if that is the word, making a bridge. The tooth that was crowed broke and the dentist was forced to removed the tooth holding the crown because he was unable to re attach. He could only extract the tooth, now I have a gap of 2 teeth. 

I was thinking of a implant for one tooth with a prosthetic tooth attached to the implant that would fill the 2 tooth gap. I want a permanent fixture something that I have to remove. I hope I have explaine myself properly.

In my experience the small local clinics often omit the cost of the extras. Some dont even seem to have a panoramic Xray facility at all.

 

I needed a bone graft for one of my implants. Dr Paweenwan was aware of the probable need for this from the Xray before she started, and the extra cost was made clear. She did say that depending on what she found when actually doing the job, it might not even be needed.

 

Bottom line: I just like the idea of a highly experienced person doing my implants rather than some back-street dentist. Especially as the cost is similar.

Hi sorry I know its an old thread. Is this doctor still there do you know. I had an crown bridge snap 4 weeks ago and had to have the tooth extracted as there was nothing to re attach the crown too. Now waiting for it to heal, I have a 2 tooth gap. Ocean dental said it would cost between 36 and 56 k for a bridge. I would prefer one implant and a retainer. How does the cost compare? How much were your implants? Thanks

Nonsense.

 

There were ( at the time, April thru Oct i think ) only 3 repatriation flights per month for Thai nationals ( with 50 farangs per flight who met the criteria ) to return to thailand, let's say 300 Thai's per flight time 3, that's 900 per month, you don't think there was more than that trying to get home?

 

I think the commercial flights started about October, since then it's become straight forward.

Thanks for confirming that my post was correct. I said from November. If you read it correctly it was in a different way exactly what you just put in your reply.

I'm sure there is 1000's that would disagree with you of the many Thai's who were trying to get back to Thailand from UK on the repatriation flights. Many were also waiting months, no system in place at all for a que etc.

 

I'm sure Thai's in many other locations were in the same situation, wanting to return home but unable due to lack of flights or hotels.

Nonsense. Flights have been able to be easily booked on the Thai Airways weekly flight for Thai's wishing to go into free State Quarantine since last November. Or if they wanted to pay for ASQ, then on any of the daily flights with Emitates, Qatar, Etihad, KLM, Lufthansa etc. There was only a waiting list to fly in the very early days when you had to book the flight through the embassy, now its direct with the airline.

I find that the roads on the dark side can be a real mess. And when busy, a REAL mess. 5555

 

Down south of Jomtien, there are some nice places. Close to the beach. Easy access to Sukhumvit and the new highway. Our beaches were never really closed. Which was quite nice last year.

Yes thats why I said soi's 87/89. The busy soi's are Country Club, ETC These soi's are no problem at all.

Rather than Jomtien, if I was you I would look at the so called "Darkside" (other side of the Sukumvidt) in East Pattaya. Rental houses are a plenty in the soi 87/89 area. You can be in Jomtien and pattaya in less than 10 - 15 minutes.

I have just finished quarantine.my test was scheduled 96 hrs before flight with results coming 72 hrs before or later.They called me 1 day before and said they had to change my appointment time so the TEST was within the 72 the window,not just the result.

I wasn't very happy and had a row with the lady that they left it until the last minute to tell me when I had the appointment booked for 2 months.

It meant I had to drive 100 miles further to their other clinic instead

Just goes to show how uninformed the clinics are as well.

Even this is not correct. What time is RESULT? When you are swabbed? Much later when the machine shows the result, when a paper result is signed, or when you pick it up?  So I looked at the Australian Embassy.

 

You must be tested 72 hours or less prior to departure and present a negative result when checking in prior to boarding your flight.

 

So, the 72 hours starts when you are tested, usually swabbed until checking in.  Might be good to copy what your local embassy says and take it with you.     https://thailand.embassy.gov.au/

 

Of course it is correct. When you get sent your covid lab report it states a test time and a result time. This is the date/time recognised by the airlines and the Thai authorities. It id stated on the UK embassy page and also confirmed by e mail.

So many different and mainly incorrect posts. The requirement is as follows.

A negative Covid 19 test with the RESULT being within 72 hours of your first international departure to Thailand. The test must be via the RT - PCR method.

Try 'Ban Amphur Beach'.  It's where we take our two, a couple of times a week.  Its big, very few Soi dogs and clean (ish).  Steer clear of any long grass areas right now ( dry season) as they are full of nasty burrs that get stuck in the fur and on the feet of the dogs and are hard  and painful ( for you and the dogs) to remove.  Short grass is fine. You need the normal protection of a stout stick and a few poo bags to take away your dogs waste. 

Are you sure about that, what time do you go there? We go once a week with our dog and sit on the beach under the palms where its fine. Wander down too far though and there are families of dogs in the bushes. 3 years ago a dog ran out of the bushes and attacked my dog for no reason. Last week I see about 6 puppies exit the bushes do their business in the sand and go back in, they will soon become an issue. Also loads if dogs around the umberella and seating area that try to get to my dog as we come back to the car.
