Fair play Jack Out of interest (and I was looking at 6 months) it was recommended (elsewhere) to go down the SETV route and then using the 30 days extension and after that contact a visa agent (I'm being tactful) as regards getting the 2nd SETV "locally" Overall I haven't seen a better suggestion anywhere

Good luck as a foreigner if you ever have to "claim" on that 1 Million Baht guarantee The outcome will be somewhere between Bob Hope and no hope...................................

Strangely enough for a forum that (originally) was very active on Visa information these days we get little or no responses You've asked the same question that I also did a month or so ago, again with virtually no response

Expect this forum to explode from Monday onwards with disastrous tales of utter woe and fiasco Starting with PCR tests proving positive after arrival You just know its coming !

Yep I dont disagree with that either

We can be pretty certain now that no boozers will be open this year in Pattaya. Common sense should indicate restaurants will now get the green light on December 1st and general bars probably in January/February 2022 People say Thailand cant afford to miss another high season. Utter nonsense simply because Thailand is still sat on around $244 Billion of foreign currency reserves literally only $14 Billion below the all time high I agree Thai people involved in the tourist industry wont give two hoots about those numbers, but this sadly is the reality Thailand doesnt particularly need that tourist Dollar and these restrictions are all about "face"

That last question was actually asked of Aviva insurance out of the UK on youtube earlier this week. Came back NO if you test positvive via the PCR test after arrival you're on your own It was from an Aviva underwriter. Will see if I can find it again and edit it in notwithstanding coverage will still be nil

27 people 3 dogs and goat called Doris

The fun and games and tales of woe will be hitting forums 24/7 for the next 3 months. Let others iron out the system and wait until the new year

Appreciate you're an American but as a Brit you'll get offloaded without the visa if its beyond 30 days I've detailed couple times before the battle I had with Emirates out of Gatwick back in 2006 over that exact same problem. It took me getting the Head of Station for Emirates involved and lot of extremely polite discussion and signature on an indemity form to finally let me board Nothings changed if you're departing out of the UK. Its an airline issue not a immigration issue with a border refusal resulting in airline fine.

Bruno where are the "better offers" listed as such ??

Well very few are going to do it that way around from any country. Visa could be declined for any amount of reasons or delays. People are simply not going to book a fully refundable flight direct from the airline at 2-3 times an agents fare Just prior to typing that BA came in at £1869 economy fare (fully refundable direct from airline) as opposed to consolidated non refundable at £565

Yes absolutely...instant on the last 3 transfers of which the last one was on a Saturday morning

So how come the last time I did a transfer on a Saturday morning the funds were in SCB within 5 seconds (early September)

Its surging in the Uk with infections the worst in the world and infection rate more than the rest of Europe combined simply because we have a "populist" catastrophic clown running the show namely the Johnson

All the data deals on Truemove appear to have certainly gone up since last time I was in the country February 2020 I'm wondering if the short codes of the past which I've got for previous plans will still actually work Back then I was getting "always on" data for a month (at lower speeds) for 199 plus Vat ( existing Sim from last 8 years is still active)

Well done Cambodia indeed Futher words superfluous.....

I'm genuinely astonished at the reactions in the form of emoji on this thread My response of a permanent ban rather than 5 years was met with derision. When I make the point that no one bar hospitalisation should be even 30 days over visa duration that to is met with amazement We have a forum full of individuals who think its routinely acceptable to break visa rules not by say 2 days but by a month or in the case of the OP 1 entire year Someone tell why anyone should be even 30 days over visa validity bar hospital/jail ?? 30 days why ????

Quoting myself from the original post and 7 to date are confused or sad lol...I can only assume people think its acceptable ! What is about even being 30 days over on your visa that is not "reasonable" to absolutely everyone let alone a year ?? Theres zero justification bar hospital. None whatsoever

5 years is not long enough. Persona Non Grata indefinately Theres zero excuse for absolutely anyone to be on overstay (and lets be generous) for more than 30 days unless hospitalised etc There really really isn't. Thailand are far too soft on this

Seeing as the UK has the current worst record in the world for daily infections I'm at a loss as to how we are included !

If people refuse to conform and refuse the vaccination then I suggest they go back home

Am afraid whilst the sentiment is good on paper brokers (the world over) will always push the Insurers who pay the highest commissions... I should know having spent 7 years in the industry Sometimes they happened to coincide with the best policy anyway but it was rare

Yes appreciate thanks. As I said I hadnt logged into the site for 18 months. I got hold of them via messenger and they said about the recordings over the 7 days with 50 hour maximum (more than enough) Seemed to have come down in price paying monthly at 5.99 Euro

What happened lol I logged in as hadnt actually done so since March 2020 as outside of Thailand to find the catch up service no longer exists ?? Apparently you can watch Live still but the whole idea was the catch up service for me Are there any others providers of that style of original service ??
