The costs of this are starting to amount with the incoming International tourist market held over for another month at least .. And put's a block on ex-pats caught outside of Thailand from returning for the same time span .. 

Yes, I am in Europe. haven't seen my Thai wife in 3 months. It could be 3 more months. Somehow the very wise gov forget to allow spouses of Thai citizens back in!

If she is unemployed, treatment is free. She must register with the government as unemployed first. Otherwise it is low cost, as others have said.

There are low cost health insurance policies you could buy for her that will get her a private hospital room and in some cases better treatment.

Medical care in Thailand is quite good . When in hospital, it is normally expected that a friend of relative should bring meals . See if you can arrange someone to do that

I hope that helps.

Have there been any updates on allowing spouses of Thai citizens back into the country?

Has anyone heard if there are any updates to the Thai Citizen only rule?

The silly Thai government can't keep families separated forever ..

I wrote the Thai Embassy in Switzerland. No chance for a travel waiver. I suspect Thai embassies around Europe will respond in the same way. Sadly.

FYI. 

I

The Thai Embassy in Switzerland just told me a waiver is not possible through them.

The 1111 telephone number said the same as the gov statement, only foreigners with a work permit may enter

This may change after end of April.

Good luck

Thanks very much for the good of info!

What is the 1111 number?

Actually she is in Thailand, I am abroad. 9830000 meters of involuntary social distancing!

Does anyone know if spouses of Thai citizens can enter. The Thai government official statement of 27 March says "only Thai citizens can enter".

Apparently they forgot the thousands of foreigners married to Thais!

I'd much appreciate any info, as I am one of those .

Hello,

I am thinking of applying for the Thai Permanent Visa. Dos anyone have experiences/information they can share? As far as I know, it is a long, complicated process. I am applying as a "provider for a Thai spouse".

Does anyone know the address of the office to apply to in Bangkok? 

Do you need proof of bank balance or proof of income?

Thanks much!
