Proof of Covid vaccines will be required again for ALL arrivals to Thailand
VBF replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Small correction - you do need a log-in whether you use the App or do it online - it's the same log-in details. I logged in yesterday, got a current NHS Covid Pass, downloaded it and printed it- will put it with my ticket for next month's departure. Whole procedure took 5 minutes! (Will also copy it to phone and tablet!!) My Certificate is good until July (6 months) at which time I'll do the same again and keep one "just in case" -

VBF replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
If these people REALLY did their own research (as I have) they would realise that the case FOR being vaccinated is simply overwhelming in terms of health and freedom of movement. There is just NO downside. It could be said that the "anti-vaxxers" are just another herd to follow. But....as is often said in Thailand....up to you! (But be prepared to live with the consequences of your decision) -

VBF replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I know this will upset a few but WHY?????? Why the **** didn't they get vaccinated well ahead of making travel plans...like a year or 2 ago? I fail to see why people don't get vaxxed against Covid...I bet these same people had several vaccinations as children, proving perhaps, that their parents were brighter than they are! -
eVisa for TOURIST Visa - another bunch of questions!!
VBF replied to VBF's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Well as i'm genuinely booked into a hotel, I've used the hotel emails saved as a PDF....we shall see! I had that hang-up problem too, on some of my JPG files. I resolved it by creating PDFs from them and uploading them. Sorry for people who are not conversant with IT though - it's difficult enough for those who are!!!!! -

Well that's totally stupid. How about people who genuinely do live in Thailand on Non-IMM visas? If you know this to be FACT, can you name the airlines? -
eVisa for TOURIST Visa - another bunch of questions!!
VBF replied to VBF's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks - after a few conversations i went with @TK924 suggestion and produced a PDF containing the content "Is this required for a Tourist Visa? I am staying in a Hotel as a paying guest – see “Place of Stay in Thailand” and posted that as the supporting document. I understand that if they need more documents they email and request them, so I "trod boldly" and submitted the application today. It's now in "Processing" status. I shall update this thread in due course - either happily or not as the case may be???? -

Thank you for getting to the hub of the matter - it's all about what the system needs to see. as a retired IT guy, I despair of this particular website!!!!! I had thought of your suggestion and have made a Word document (saved as PDF) saying that i have not travelled for the last 12 months to answer one of their questions about recent travel What would YOU do for the "Identity of the person inviting you to stay e.g. Thai ID card, Passport" question? -
eVisa for TOURIST Visa - another bunch of questions!!
VBF replied to VBF's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
But then I've got to get one of these "pretend" tickets to get on the flight haven't I? (Even though I have a return ticket out within 60 days.) Plus I'd rather waste time now here in UK than waste half a day going to Immigration. So, answers to my original questions would be appreciated. I'm hoping Ubon Joe pops up as it goes..... -
I am in the process of applying for a TV - staying 58 days from Feb to April. I'm using https://thaievisa.go.th/dashboard (having created an account and filled a bunch in already. This eVisa is pretty much OTT for a Tourist Visa but I have some specific questions that I cannot find answers to online: Apparently ALL these MUST be completed before you can submit the form!!! So here goes: Travel booking confirmation - ticket? Proof of accommodation in Thailand - Hotel booking voucher? Financial evidence - how much in what sort of account??? For a Tourist Visa! Confirmation of legal residence in a country in which you are applying for the visa. (In case that you are not a national of the country in which you are applying for the visa.) It has to be answered so can I just upload my passport twice? (I am a UK national applying in UK) A confirmation letter from employer, School, Self-assessment, Pension statement - I'm retired - so would a UK government pension Award Notice from 2021 suffice? Identity of the person inviting you to stay e.g. Thai ID card, Passport - What on earth!!! Applicant is required to upload his/her passport pages which contain all travel records for the past 12 months (1 year) since the last international trip. That HAS to be filled in so can I just upload a word doc saying no travel in the last 12 months? Applicant must apply for e-Visa via specific Embassy/Consulate conforming with his/her consular jurisdiction and residency. Applicant is required to upload document that can verify his/her current residency. What goes here? Council tax form? Thanks in advance - as i say, I have searched for answers but to no avail. VBF

Transferring money from the UK
VBF replied to bannork's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I agree about Wise being the best method. Worth mentioning (IMO) that timing is important. By that I mean, if you do your transfer when both the bank in your country and the Thai bank are open, then Wise takes from 10 seconds to 30 minutes from beginning to end. E.G.... If I'm in UK and do my transfer at 09:00 GMT which is 16:00 in Thailand, the transfer may be quicker as both countries are in banking hours. Were I to send the money at (say) 18:00GMT, (01:00 Thailand) then it may take a little longer. Might seem odd, considering that these are automated processes but might be due to one or other bank doing overnight maintenance for example. This is just based upon my experience, not upon any inside knowledge, and, having said that unless waiting a few hours for the money to move is a problem, then Wise is still fast and efficient IME. -
Slightly but how does one pay for Bolt, Grab and Indrive in Thailand? In UK I have Uber and Bolt linked to my PayPal account but I'm led to believe that wouldn't be an option in Thailand???

This thread interests me because when I opened my account more than a decade ago restrictions were far fewer. Now, when i travel to Thailand, i do so on a Tourist Visa (I tend to do 60 day trips once or twice a year) So, next time I go to Thailand, I shall have to go into into SCB as I have a new passport and I need to update the record.. I'm wondering if, being on a Tourist Visa will cause me any problems. Anyone??
