You will need one year of covid 19 insurance since that will be the length of stay you will get when you enter the country.

I am returning to the UK shortly and coming back in August. My non o retirement extension expires at the end of this year. Presumably I need Covid insurance to cover me to the end of the year. I am happy to take out the insurance now, before my trip. I only need it for the purpose of satisfying immigration as I will be fully vaccinated when I return. What is the cheapest and easiest option for me and does anyone have a web address?

Asked an oldish Thai what he thought about the situation in Myanmar about the military killing people. He said it was bad because people from Myanmar will come here and bring covid with them. I didn't respond. TIT but says a lot.

There's never been much love lost between the Burmese and the Thais.

Only flaw in that is that officially you would still have to do hotel quarantine if you travelled from Dublin to England, having recently passed through UAE>

Correct. Flying via Amsterdam, I need to do 10 days quarantine at home, reduced to 5 days if I go for the "test and Release" option.

I'm hoping the UAE will be off the red list soon, I want to use my miles up - their vaccination programme is well advanced so hopefully they'll get the variants under control. Failing that, they are still flying in and out of Dublin (wink,wink).

New cases is still high in UAE. More than 2000 new cases today (slight uptick) in a population of 10 million. UK 4000 today in a population of 67 million. UK deaths down firmly into double figures now.

Dublin it is.

    Hope , your flight , departs as per schedule....

Checked yesterday. Currently all flights to Amsterdam and Finland appear to be departing on schedule. Even Middle Eastern flights are departing on shedule. Unfortunately they aren't flying on to the UK. Cancelled flights seem to be a thing of the past.

Probably because he's transiting via the Middle East. I purchased a ticket for BKK Manchester in 2 weeks time transiting via Amsterdam. £300 plus £40 extra luggage. I know of others that have transited via Finland recently too.

A walk-in to a hospital is just that.  THey walk-in to the hospital because they are not feeling well.  They meet the criteria to be tested and therefore are.  They then are either positive or not.  If positive they then find themselves isolated in a room while another test is run to verify the original test and once certified as Covid they are then treated accordingly.  They did not walk into the hospital because they were tracked, traced and then taken to the hospital.  Those that are tracked and traced are tested upon being located.  

See my previous post. It was pretty obvious that you were unclear about the definition of walk ins.

Just now, polpott said:

I don't think you understand the definition of hospital walk ins. Its mainly those found through tracking and tracing. Currently doing a lot of random testing in and around certain Bangkok wet markets and prisons/detention centres.

"Thailand reported 24 domestic infections out of a total of 42 new Covid-19 Coronavirus daily cases in the past 24 hours, CCSA assistant spokesperson Apisamai Srirangsan announced this morning, March 31st.

The majority of 19 local infections were walk-in/hospital cases, including contact tracing, that were found in Bangkok with 8, Samut Sakhon with 8, and Samut Prakan with 3. Most of them were Thai nationals and symptomatic, according to the reports.

The other five cases were reported during proactive case finding in local communities, particularly in local markets, factories, migrant worker’s dormitories, and immigration detention in Samut Sakhon with 3 and Bangkok with 2. All of them were symptomatic and are being isolated in quarantined areas under the supervision of public health officials with no public exposure."

Not True.  Bangkok has daily cases with little testing and most are from hospital walk-ins.  Next

Here in the US when I was vaccinated with the first shot I was given a CDC card with the name of the vaccine, the date it was administered  and a date for my second shot. April 2nd I get my second shot, then the second portion is filled in  with the date and a barcode that links to my vaccine information. I was told the I would need to laminate that card as it will be very important until an electronic system is devised.  

I am sure you must have a similar system where you are. 

Yes, pretty much identical. however, one thing missing is your name. I can't really see the Thai government accepting that.

As shared here multiple times it's article 122, I suppose it is like the Internal Market Bill, it is simple yet you cannot take it into account

 

..  no matter how many times we remind you of a very very basic event or fact

 

Article 122 cannot be challenged and is immediate

 

court action takes years. Right now, we are in the crisis of the century and we have a parasitic country which we just got out of the woods at our expense and is not even saying thank you. 

 

 

Do you read this thread? Count how many times we have mentioned that the USA contested AZ data and has not authorised its use? 

 

Did you read Canada just banned the AZ for 55-? It's just a few post above? 

 

So it's not the EU, some of the EU countries did not even stop the AZ jab (and I believe they were right), some suspended 72h and started again, some are still suspending. Including Sweden I think, the home country of AstraZeneca. 

 

 

In this situation the UK is more a parasite than a brother, but I'm not sure you factored that in. 

 

The UK has sucked 21 million vaccine produced by the EU (a few AZ but Pfizer mainly). 

 

And they would like some more Europeans to die, just because it is the way the current UK government behaves. 

 

Ironically, I think that if the situation was reversed and the EU was at almost zero dead, we would probably help the UK. 

 

I'm not sure you realise how much of the "bad guys in the story" you are at the moment. 

 

 

No problem, we have a very simple solution:

 

E.U. Will Curb Covid Vaccine Exports for 6 Weeks https://nyti.ms/3cbYaZb

 

 

I'm not sure I can "deny" something you just wrote, but I can deny what I said... 

 

.. or deny my signature on a treaty if I'm the UK ????

 

 

If you have useful information to share, I think everyone here will still welcome your contribution. 

More nonsensical vitriol from across the English Channel. Its never worried us in the last 800 years and we're not worried now. Keep it up, you're just peeing in the wind.

At least your last "midget in charge" stood up to us and we rewarded him with a nice little island for his retirement. That's the British way magnanimous in victory, shame the French can't be as magnanimous in defeat. Your current "midget in charge" can't even face us he just hides behind his boss Merkel's skirt.

See bullet point three at the above announcement from the Royal Embassy in Washington DC

Doesn't really clarify what defines a "vaccine Certificate". Would a doctor's letter suffice?

Waiting for the VACCINATED announcement

But what proof of vaccination will be required? Currently UK offers no proof.
