and sitting looking at them on a phone I can tell that when they say next day that they actually deliver on that how?

Your answer - just search for it - could be used to answer any question asked.

I'm trying to find a recommendation for one, not just a list - which I have found by searching on line.

Thanks for the reply but next time just scroll on by

Is there anywhere reliable offering PCR tests or will we need a trip out to the airport to get one?

Thanks

I've just received my second Thai pass (flying from Singapore, in case I enter it) Took 7 hours. I haven't tried land entry, perhaps that's why?

they have just been approved - six days

Had them approved this morning - six days from the application although not sure whether it was the 1st or the 2nd that was approved or the fact I emailed their helpline 

Can't work out how to delete the post......

Thaipass for land border just been approved after 6 days

????

Is this still running?

If so does anyone have the number(s)

Thanks

Nong Khai which is open

I am wondering if the reason my 2nd thailand pass hasn't been approved then is because it is an additional one.

I've had one to arrive at BKK issued but the one to get back into Thailand from Laos by land over the bridge is still under review.........then again could be any number of reasons and a few of you seem to have had multiple passes issued with no problems.

Getting annoying now as I can't confirm much of the trip if I don't know if I can get back in.....

Has anyone had one of these approved?

Our one arriving by air at BKK was approved very quickly, yet the one from 29th April for a land entry is still set a "reviewing"

However, my wifes application for the same land border but traveling on a Lao passport was approved within the hour.....

I've sent an email to the email address they show but wondering if anyone had had success applying for a land border thai pass?

Thanks

No...just normal insurance

I've just reapplied.....hopefully out of the two one will get processed.

Seems to be an issue with the land border rather than the insurance as we had that and was fine for arrival at BKK.

Applied for a Thaipass for my daughter and I arriving in BKK, approved within a day.

Since then I've applied for a Thaipass for the two of us coming over the bridge from Laos, that was 4 days ago and still just says reviewing.

Applied for a Thaipass for my wife yesterday for the same border crossing and approved almost instantly although she is a Lao national.

Should I just reapply or will that throw a spanner in the works?

THanks
 

So apply for a Thaipass then?

Anyone know if they need to jump through any hoops such as a Thai Pass or if they can just turn up with proof of vaccination?

Thanks

I've joined that FB group, thanks for letting me know about it

We are arriving in BKK as it was a last minute trip and flights to Vientiane were 4k plus no guarantees of them issuing us a visa.

Going via BKK and then to Udon 3k cheaper....we've got the Thai Pass and if we can't get over the bridge then the family can come over and holiday in Thailand for a few weeks with us.

I'd rather be in Laos though hence trying to find some actual information rather than guess work.

Thanks

Seen quite a bit of talk about it opening on the 1st May.....but not sure if it actually has or not.

Also can't find anywhere what the procedure would be going from Thailand to Lao.

Wondering if it would revert to the visa on arrival at the bridge or if there would be hoops to be jumped through before arrival?

Anyone any ideas?

Arriving on the 6th at BKk and trying to work out which side of the river to book accommodation ????

Thanks

We applied start of third week in November and visa granted on the 9th January.

It was an unmarried partner visa, had been in Thailand since 2005, ILR granted subject to KOL, assuming that the length of time for the decision was down to either the ILR or third party support element.

Partner arrived back in UK today . No issues on arrival although immigration did call and ask a few questions due to her lack of English.

Well knowing my luck we will need to pay it................however even at the highly inflated price that they charge its still a lot less than I paid in total for all the work permits / visa's etc that was required for me in Thailand...........

7by7, not wishing to question you but I have to be doubly sure about this just in case I apply and the staggering £970 is not returned whilst ILR rejected...

Your wife's visa says "subject to KOL." She would have been given ILE had she already satisfied KOL, but she hadn't. Now that she has she can apply for ILR. However, she does not need to do so now and can wait until she has been in the UK for 2 years if she wishes; provided she does so before her current visa expires, of course.

Hi

We are in the same situation as this with the visa saying "KOL required"

To ne honest I have read so many pages on settlement visas my head is fir to burst but somewhere amongst it all I had thought that I had read that being effectively granted the ILR subject to KOL meant that the fee mentioned by Skypist was not payable. If this isnt the case then its simply the time frame that is different as you do not wait the two years (unless of course you want to).

Is that correct?

Because if so what would have happened if the KOL had been satisfied at the time of original application for the visa, they would have demanded the £970 on top of the 40500 baht? Or would they have waived that fee?

thanks

just the info we needed

we are in the process of arranging to relocate to the UK with my partner being on a settlement visa.

If we wish to get married once we are there and settled do we have to specifically apply for a fiance visa or can we get a "normal" setttlement visa and simply get married as and when we wish once we are in the UK?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice

Having looked online for sample of A1 test levels it seems that it is just an extremely basic level of English that is required for this low level certification.

Hello, my name is etc etc

Except when you listen to the BULATS test its all about 1st quarter performance etc, not exactly basic level English.

What if any, are the alternative choices that are available in Bangkok where the test is more elementary?

Thanks
