    I'm slightly rusty on it but I think it assumes you've been taking PrEP for a while so you have some in your system already. I'm not sure you can kick off straight with 2 pills if you haven't taken before, but I could be wrong on that so double check, use the i-base link above. One of the reason I say that is if you start daily you are meant to have it for 1 week before sex

    Thanks.

    You just have 2 pills to start with, see examples below. The nausea wasn't bad just having it weekly for a day wasn't ideal plus I went back to having sex more often, I switched to 4 pills a week (reduced dosing method) but in Thailand for heterosexual sex the Red Cross say a man should take daily, although i-base says no need

    Interesting, I actually like the idea of your method as well and had no idea it was an option. So, too start to get it into your system, how did that work. So, say you wanted to start today, when could you safely be with someone?

    Yep, it's the same pill, you just take it at different times. I switched back to daily dosing due to slight nausea everytime I took 2 which was every week

    Thanks for the reply, I will go there soon to get on it and I like the idea of not taking it daily so I guess I will try the on demand out first out.

    Your nausea must have been very bad I take it with the on demand, wonder why it was so strong compared to your daily dose.

     

    Also, is it the same exact pills as the daily and you just double up initially?

    Doing a extension of stay application does not reset your 90 day report unless it is your first one.

    For the first extension of stay application the 90 day report is due 90 days from the day you applied for it.

    You are to late to do a mailed in report. You only have a widow of 15 days to 7 days before the report date to mail it in.

    The 15 days before to 7 days after the report date that includes that day is only for doing reports in person.

     

    Ugh...Ok. Thanks @ubonjoe for your information as always. Still not sure why the little notice stamp was stated for Feb 12th and not the 18th?

     

    I guess I technically have until the 19th to get myself up there with your 7 day after window. 

     

    Thanks again.

     

     

  5. Hi All,

     

    Question for @ubonjoe and all experts.

     

    Situation is this is my first time doing a 90 day report and seems to be I got my dates all mixed up. From previous research, I thought I would have a 15 day window before and 7 day after to get this report in.

     

    My first year extension based on marriage to Thai was on November 18, which I would think would give me until the 18th of February to get this taken care of. Problem is as I was getting all my paperwork together tonight to mail in all my copies,  I realised there was a little notice piece of paper they attached onto my TM6 that said my date to report was February 12th??

     

    So long story short, I just expressed mailed in my package tonight which will be there tomorrow?

     

    My wife will call in the morning to inform them of the situation. Does anyone know the number as well?

     

    Should I expect to be doing an unexpected rush trip to immigration in the next two days?

     

    Thanks for any assistance on this.

    There is no appointment available for the getting your stamp. Same for doing the application based upon marriage.

     

    Thank you ubonjoe! Ok, since it's my first time with this, can you let me know where I should be heading when I arrive there, so I can make everything the smoothest and quickest way possible?

     

    Thanks again for all your information!

  7. Hi,

     

    I commented on an older post but not sure if OP would reply as quick and I did a search and could not find anything. I can delete if this has been posted before.

     

    As the title states, I would like to make an online appointment to go get my yearly stamp based on marriage after my "under consideration" period which is tomorrow at CW.  I am in the process but confused at the "objective/counter" section. I do not know what to choose here.

     

    Can someone please assist me please?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    The OP is talking about the T8 form, not the TM6 or TM8.  This is a Covid era form, but I'm not sure if it's still required or not.  Here's a copy of one I saved a while back but I don't even know if it's still the same or has been updated since then.

    Yes,

     

    This is the form I was referring too. It was somewhat associated with that app mentioned in the title. Was hoping some person who made it into Thailand recently could confirm.

    Came from New Zealand last month.

    Was required by consulate to complete a CO19 test before submitting application for COE then another <72 hrs before departure so yes it depends very much which embassy you are dealing with.(2x tests at $340 each)Yes did question this but at end of day are you going to argue with Embassy staff and miss very limited opportunity.

    As was flying on a Saturday was told would take 48+ hr for 2nd test so went on a tuesday.(Probably the most stressful time as 1st test took 5 days to get results) so anxiety at level 10

    Results from Lab came back on a Thursday and then had fit to fly letter also stamped from doctor and time stamped at that time. Did not show airline original covid test result only Fit to fly and other Embassy form stating covid free< 72hrs before. 

    The airline did go through and check those times were correct so be aware.

    As had layover of 18hrs in Singapore was well over 72hrs when landed in Bangkok.Was not asked to do a test on arrival but on 2nd day in ASQ had 1st test.

    Regards

     

     

     

    Same situation here in Vietnam embassy. Seems ridiculously excessive to have to go and seek a test two weeks before the flight....then another right before(this one I get) ????

    Reliable who knows really, a lot of travel insurance they all have mixed reviews about paying out I mean its cheap "you get what you pay for" and yes it works for the COE purpose I used it to gain entry. I bought it because they make a good letter to show for the COE (since I have my normal health insurance in Thailand) it says the 100k coverage your name plus it says it covers covid 19 in that letter. Other insurances had a hard time writing a nice one without having to point things out to the consulate. I used world nomads at first and they had me highlight where does it show the 100k and covid 19 coverage. But other than that if you want a comprehensive coverage I would rely on something else. 

    Thanks for your experience and feedback, looks like exactly what I need. How quick did you receive the policy and letter after sign up?
