  1. This whole Thailand Pass has been a mystery, my non-imm. ``O`` visa arrived just after midnight South African time.

    I was fearful of submitting the documents and had some forewarning from reading ASEAN NOW.

    Do not be alarmed it is easy. First of all have a friend that you may ask for assistance. Generally the ``kids`` know stuff.

    Get all your documents into ``jpeg`` format, (Joint Photographic Experts Group). That is print them out.

    Take your smartphone and take a picture of your documents, rotate them and size them maybe. Then if you are not using your smartphone send them to your e-mail address. Then open the attachment (Preferably on a computer, bigger is better) and save each of them to your downloads or documents. Rename them ``Thai Pass, 1 Passport`` and ``Thai Pass, 2 Vaccination and so on.

    The Thailand Pass does not use Google Chrome so download Microsoft Edge, which takes about 2-3 minutes and then type in the address, https://tp.consular.go.th.

    Now you are good to go. 

    Read carefully what is wanted. Fill it all in. After your passport details it will ask you to download your passport. Click on the ``browse`` rectangle and your saved documents in jpeg format pop up. Highlight ``Passport 1``, then click on the highlighted item, hold your click and drag it to your rectangle and release it. give it a 30 to 60 seconds to down load and move on. 

    The next item, vaccination, for instance is the same same but no different.

    Before you know and just when you are beginning  to get into it you are done. 

    My document was downloaded and I received an acknowledgement shortly thereafter. 

    I hope this will help someone out there. Stay safe and Bon Voyage !

  2. I need some help please. 

    Ordinarily I may enter Thailand with no Visa for 30 days. I have applied for a non-immigrant "O" visa and am awaiting it's approval, possibly on 2nd to 4th Nov.

    I am due to fly out on 11th November for 7 day Sandbox quarantine.

    I am fearful I may not get my Thai Pass back in time should I submit it once my 90 day visa is approved.

    Should I go ahead and register for the Thai Pass as if I were going for 30 days to ensure I get the document back timeously ?

    Either that or I need to push back my arrival.

    I do not want to jeopardise my entry into Thailand.

    Thank you Roymac.

  4. I applied for a NON IMM ``O-A`` Visa in February 2021. This was denied to me as I had to show medical insurance covering a full year in Thailand.

    I was however offered a NON IMM ``O`` Visa covering 90 days and my current medical insurance in South Africa covered me for that. Having shown proof of income and net worth I was told I could extend my visa for one year once I was in Thailand.

    An agent informed me that I could obtain a one year visa from within Thailand for Bhat 14,000 and that I could also get a Multiple Entry visa with that for an additional Bhat 6,000.  ( No medical insurance required).

    I think this NON IMM ``O`` Visa assumes that ones net worth implies that one could take care of any medical eventualities that my arise.

    This is the way forward for me as I want the freedom to travel as suites my needs. 

  5. I need some clarification please. 

    My Non-Immigrant  O-A Visa expires on 17th October 2018.

    I am scheduled to return to Thailand on 3rd October 2018. 

    The soonest I will be able to tender my documents for renewal is 5th October. 

    I have just noticed having prepared my documents that the documents need to be submitted at least 15 days prior to Visa Expiration.

    Any information will be appreciated, thank you. Roymac.
