I just wrote N/A on a blank piece of paper and photographed it for several of the questions 

Which questions where those and did you get the visa no problem ?

Looks like the throwaway ticket is the way to go,my ticket is non refundable and cant change date , flexible tickets was very expensive (always used to get the flexible ticket option now silly prices for direct flights).

Of course you don't, VOA is only available to 17 or so countries and the UK is not one of them. You are, however, entitled to a 30 day visa-free stay under the Visa Exemption Scheme. This is extendable once for an additional 30 days.

So i wont be refused boarding the flight to thailand (Eva air) if i tell them i have no visa but that iam going to get a visa exempt when i arrive ??

Depressing news i dont have the option to get a visa on arrival that makes getting this damm passport upload more pressured.

iam worried my passport photo may have faded .

Anyway will keep trying no other

options now ☹️

Why apply for a tourist visa at all.Just fly in visa excempt 30 day,s then apply for a 30 day extension a week before your excempt entry permission to stay end,s.That will give you 60 day,s in the kingdom.Total cost 1900 baht

Thats a good option but i heard many immigration offices ramo at 

present so i wanted to avoid them.

I guess there is no word yet if they are keeping the 45 day visa on arrival (up for review 31st march ?

Away from pc at work ,will try tomorrow see if i can get to next page .

its such a pity you cant get the visa in person at the thai embassy itself or the consulates (hull and Cardiff closed now ).used to be so pain free ..

I was referring to the machine readable section of the passport which the form reads and self populates.  The photo uploaded without any problems.

When i upload the passport it does appear in the box where its supposed to go but a message appears top right saying its not correct (not exact words).

i try to complete the whole page and see if it accepts me pressing next ?

I used the old passport scan which i used for my last application 6 months ago and it was rejected.

when you say manually entered 

is that the drag and drop option

i tried that too.

ill keep trying ☹️

More to the point are there any issues with the e visa site at present

with so many people applying 

is it working correctly never had this problem before.

Sorry which is the correct forum ?

I have applied a few times and got my thai e visa 60 day tourist visa 

(to visit family).length of stay will be 58 days this time.

But this time the e visa site refused

to accept my upload of my passport

page ,i have tried scan from printer photo from phone (all under 3 mb size ).

flying mid may any suggestions would be very very welcome .

Thats why its not a good idear to swim in rivers ponds and waterfalls

In thailand .????

In ko chang now too many people

for sure ..leaving tomorrow.

Cant even get a good swim in the resort pool too many posers

doing photo shoots.

Still interesting wildlife

seen poisoners snakes and leaches 

at the waterfall ,note to self no swimming in the waterfall .????

Avoid run defuse dont go near idiots/drunks best advice.

But in answer to your question

the best martial arts are those used in mma (mixed martial arts) thai kickboxing and brazilian jujitsu.

The jujitsu part is the best because you can tackle stop

a violent opponent with reasonable force throws wrist locks evasion .

Reasonable force means you are less likely to get in trouble with the police for defending yourself.????????????

Most important of all can you trust thai electricians to install

the shower safely ,there are good ones but very hard to find(anyone know one please tell me).

I just had to have my old hot shower disconnected as it was live ,when it was checked with an electric meter.

Will stick to cold showers for now ☹️❄️☹️

Is the 45 day visa on arrival

extendable in any way ?

I was in pattaya the week of the fire staying in a hotel near soi vc .

I asked the lady on reception why the firedoors were padlocked ,and what would she 

do if there was a fire,no problem she replied grinning 

and held up the keys???

Amazing thailand!

After that i only stayed on the ground floor of hotels????

I believe its 48 hours for Singapore

Airlines too.

According to AQ.in.th on their line updates the new test and go requires 2 hotel bookings for the test days ,1 and 5.Thats what they are advertising,for hotels in Bangkok.

According to Richard Barrow on twitter:

ko chang is open its only the national park parts that are shut.

Thanks.
Sounds like nothing has changed 

apart from getting an e mail instead

of a visa sticker in your passport.????
