Stated with lot of confidence.

I certainly would not state "no problem" at this stage.

 

@ThaiVisaCentre any early thoughts on options for folk such as this OP. 

We can help a few more cases like this still, but the clock is ticking.

We wont be able to do it in a week if you're still on non-immigrant, or a non-immigrant based covid extension.
 

You cannot array before the original flight date.

This new rule started on Jan 1st 2022.

Previously it could be 72 hours before or after, but they have since changed this.

We updated the platform today to enable 2 Day Test & Go packages, and expanded this on Bangkok, as well as Pattaya.

We have also decided to offer a 4 Day Test & Go package which can be used as a 5th day, or 1st day RT-PCR. This will be useful for travelers doing cross province trips when we expand the province selection.

u state below that the covid extension is now extended until march 25.  but i think u might me mistaken?   i think u mean the state of emergency has been extended until march 25 not the covid extension.  ???????????

You can apply for the covid extension until March 25th now.

This is fine for anyone which has a Tourist Visa or Exempt entry visa, or has a COVID extension based on one of these visas.

HOWEVER if the visa before your covid extensions was a non-immigrant visa you MAY NO LONGER obtain covid extensions.

 

If they do not extend the Covid Extension there will be a bump of inbound tourism, which will look good for the tourism reports.

But it's also possible they do extend last minute, you never know. In the past they even extended after the expiration.

Cannot help but thinking the rules are being made up by taking cards out of a lucky dip bag.

This is by far the most complex program we have had to implement ????

As there are actually 4 situations
 

• Test & Go (1st day only)
• Test & Go (all 5 days)
• Test & Go (1st + 5th day)
• Test & Go (5th day only)
   

For all of these packages we need a base price, and an additional adult/child/infant price. So you can only imagine that we would need 16 different prices for each room to properly account for all situations, and combinations for Test & Go only.

Hopefully we get more information about how domestic travel will happen after the 1st test.

If it is allowed, and easy then it may make sense to sell 5th day packages on their own, but after speaking to most hotels they will be including airport pickup for the 5th day, or pickup from your hotel if in the same province (so it may work out anyways).
 

I apologize for the delayed thread as we have been very busy.

We will be showcasing FIVE difference types of entry packages for Test & Go on our AQ.in.th platform.

- 1st Day Test & Go
(1x RT-PCR, Airport Transfer, 1 Day of stay)

- 2 Day Test & Go (1st, and 5th night) 
(2x RT-PCR, Airport Transfer, 2 Days of stay)
 

- 4 Day Test & Go

(1x RT-PCR on day 1, or day 5, Airport Transfer, 4 Days of stay)

- 5 Day Test & Go (full package)

(2x RT-PCR, Airport Transfer, 5 Days of stay)
 

- 5th Day Test & Go

(1x RT-PCR, 1 Day of stay)

Hopefully our platform will make things easier, as you can also search by family (adults, children, infants).

I can confirm that i was denied extension based on marriage because i previously had a volunteer visa+extension. (expired long time ago, now on covid extensions)

They advised me to leave the country and come back on exempt, then apply again.. No mention of getting a new passport.

 

Strangely the same immigration office (Phuket) are still happy to give me covid extensions.. So i guess its only a problem if you try to switch to another type of non-o or b extension.

If you meet all the requirements for the Marriage Visa, we could assist with this.

TO confirm you can message my team via LINE: @ThaiVisaCentre

Thank you. Interesting. I created a thread on this forum about PCR false positive tests preventing travel and not one single person's including 'medical experts' mentioned a 'recovery certificate' as an option. It was even suggested that a person testing positive would have to wait three months before travelling! I wonder how you can get such a certificate and how much they  cost?

You get this document from a doctor/hospital.

It needs to state date of contraction, and date of recovery.

Not on Elite visa anymore, but my last arrival in Thailand was when I was still under Elite visa. And that's why I am being quoted differently it seems by your agency as far as I am told. I'm not criticizing, it just hurts that I have to pay more than others just because of my status when I last arrived here.

 

How much is your current quotation for my case if I may ask?

 

PS: currently on covid extension, volunteer prior to this.

Yes but since you entered under Elite Visa they actually hold your case.

If you can provide us with a letter from them permitting our agency to do your 60 day extension then we can take on this case.

Cases connected to Thailand Elite are not simple, as you are technically still connected to their visa, and you must go through them.

Was it for arrival in Thailand under PE Elite visa and when was your quotation? thank you in advance.

We don't assist with extensions on top of the PE Elite visa.

You would need to contact Thailand Elite, and have them handle your extension, or they may be able to provide you a letter.

Less now, but it also depends on your current history.

We wish we could go back to old pricing for these extensions for all situations, but it is what it is.

You can message my team via line for the latest pricing based on your individual situation.

It was announced this evening.... There is no cut off for those already holding the Test & Go Thailand Pass. 

 

Additionally: 

Krabi, Phang-Nga and Surattani (Samu, Phangan, Ko Tao) are all open for Thailand Pass Sandbox applications again. 

Phuket remains 7 days Sandbox as normal.

According to multiple "credible sources" they will reconsider this later on.

For example:

<removed>

It's clearly mentioned that the 15th is a cut-off date.

This mainly will depend on the evolving situation.

Not quite correct.

 

Applications for Test & Go are not longer being accepted.

 

Existing test & go QR codes accepted until 15th Jan.

 

ASQ is the same. 
 

Only Phuket Sandbox applications currently being accepted. 

We are still waiting on final word about the Jan 15th date.

AXA, and TUNE are one of the most popular options.

For the cheapest option in most cases it is WorldTrips (but this may vary depending on your specific situation).

For anyone stuck, or worried about their approvals we do offer an expedited process.

You can order it here: https://TP.in.th

This is mainly for the following cases

Our average approval time at the moment is within 24 hours (any day of the week), as long as we do not need to do any additional document collection from the client. Our team offers 24/7 support regarding these types of cases.

Our fee of 2,750 THB is fully refundable if we do not obtain the approval within a reasonable window of time.

We have updated our platform for Samui hotels which offer Sandbox, and Test & Go entry options.

- Samui Test & Go Hotels

- Samui Sandbox Hotels

We expect more hotels to release pricing over the next week.

These are all bundled packages which includes airport pickup, as well as tests.

One thing to note about Samui entry options:

The connecting flight on Bangkok Airways must be on an approved sealed route flight. The qualifying sealed route flights are always 4 numbers beginning with "51". Any of the flights you can see for sale on the Bangkok Airways website, such as PG171, are public flights only for domestic passengers. For example, sealed route flights PG5125 and PG5171 flights can only be booked by your international carrier and are not publicly for sale, since they are intended only as sealed route transfer flights for passengers that are arriving in the country and have not been through the Test & Go program yet.

But not for those from African countries. They have to do the 14 day quarantine as mentioned in a urgent announcement on the Thailand Pass website.

Correct, all travelers coming from African countries are subject to a 14 day AQ.

A note for fellow travelers.

 

There are dozens of SHA Extra + bookings available on Agoda for under 1000 baht. Just be aware that this is the room component solely. When you book the charges for RT-PCR and transport will increase the final price. Many of these are non-refundable.

 

I don’t know if this is an intentional deception on the part of the hotels or Agoda preparing for an ATK requirement by separating out the charges.

 

Whatever the intent the result makes it more difficult to comparison shop using Agoda Quarantine searches.

 

As always, be certain before taking a non refundable booking.

Yes, we noticed this too, some are packaged, and some are added after the fact when you attempt to checkout.

Our AQ.in.th platform has always attempted to be as transparent as possible to ensure easy price comparison.

We are working on direct payment processing soon which will allow instant confirmation letters through the hotels.
