Germany is on Thailand list of safe countries for double jabbed travellers to enter Thailand with no quarantine. 

As ubon Joe stated, that in reality nobody knows exactly what the rules will be until Nov 1, but it looks likely that 1 night in bkk might be required for pcr test result confirmation. 

My advice would be wait until Nov 1 before booking. 

Thanks but does anyone know what the requirement would be if im from another country and want to benefit from germanies advantages.

Its probably like ubonjoe said that i have to be there 14 or 21 days but how will they check on that? I could just take a flight from Frankfurt and say ive been in germany 2 weeks 

I live next to Germany and would like to go in November to Thailand, what are the requirements and how will they be controlled if i want to benefit from this?

I remember that my country wasn't on the initial "Phuket sandbox" list and the embassy stated that i needed to be 14 days prior to that in Germany but how do they control that? I can just cross the border as many times i want.

Also i think its quite confusing that Britain and US are on the list as they have the highest infection rates, so i guess they wan to limit the influx of tourist and gradually get adjust back to it, looking with the remaining requirements still in place i think Thailand is not "really" reopening and its definitely not gonna see a lot of tourists in the coming months.

Thailand is a shadow of the country I first visited 25 years ago. The military and its contacts are bleeding it dry. Once my extremely lucrative work contract is finished I will be spending much more time overseas.

 

 

I think this is very interesting because a few years ago it really looked like they could make it and the only serious contender in Asia that could have put itself on one level with Japan and Korea.

But this situation shows that's it's just another SEA nation and poor countries will always be poor and rich countries will always be rich and as long as we live we wont see much change in that.

It's not just Thailand but the whole world is trapped in a spiral of incompetent people pretending to know something about a situation that is impossible to control.

All argumentation is justified by peoples titles like "experts" "academics" or "prominent doctors" .

How about they try to analyse the situation about past successes and failures and try to draw conclusions from there because this just looks like continuing going downhill and reinforcing their delusional opinion.

Absolute utter nonsense and yet again I suggest Thaivisa employs a financial professional to moderate this sub forum

I have a job to not react every single day here (and I could) on different threads. Its catastrophic the advice time after time

Sure everything that's not right with your opinion should be removed from the forum, why not apply yourself to be a moderator and make everything right to your taste?

Your argumentation just shows on what level you are.

It is a 60 day extension of a permit to stay granted due to the covid 19 outbreak.

If on a visa exempt or tourist visa entry you have to apply for the normal 30 day extension before applying for it.

 

 

So would it be 45 + 30 + 60 days i could stay as a tourist?

Can i use the Covid extention once or several times?

I've just fount the form to fill, what if i dont have a valid reason? Is it just a formality or will they actually check my situation?

What is a Covid extention?

Can you stay over the regular period that is given with a simple visa extention?

Simple answer to that. STVs will not be issued after 3rd July. Source Thai Embassy London website.

This information is not provided by my embassy, I will contact them and see if its a general thing or each embassy has their own policy on that.

Thanks mate, never thought of that

As the STV scheme ends end of September and the visa in itself is kind of a good deal (no border runs) I’m considering going there.

I have a lot of questions and before bothering my embassy with it want to check if some of you can help me.

I’m not cheap, I’m there to spend money but it really looks like I’m buying the cat in the sack and that there’s gonna be quite some transactions from my part before I'll get any guarantee that I’ll ever be allowed to enter.

When STV ends will regular tourist visas be available? What’s the hint behind this expiry date?

STV

If I stay 9 months do I have to make all the papers for the entire stay or just for the requirement of more than 60 days?

Like the proof of accommodation and insurance, will the duration/validity have an influence when I make an extension in Thailand? Or do they just check the visa validly on the passport?

A medical certificate, certifying that applicant does not have prohibitive diseases

What’s considered a prohibited disease?

Evidence of long-stay accommodation:

Is an Airbnb booking recognized? There are hotels that give you a month for 4000baht, is that accepted? Can I just book the cheapest accommodation available and then go stay wherever I want anyway? Can I just have a friend draft me up a rental contract for his house?

Confirmed ASQ reservation, how does that integrate with the SHA+ Sandbox scheme?

Sandbox scheme

I am part of a non-safe country and can only enter if I stay 21 days in a safe country prior.

I live in Schengen, how is this proved with open borders here? How do they know I’ve actually physically been in Germany for 21 and not just drive back home with a car?

What does direct flight mean? In a certain way, every flight is direct? Am I not allowed to do any transit at all? Like does it have to be Zurich – Phuket but it can’t be Zurich – Doha – Phuket? Or is it just that I can’t transit inside Thailand but transits outside Thailand are ok?

What about Return ticket, proof of funds?

Tracking Phone Application – what if I have 2 phones?

What if I Book a regular hotel next to my SHQ hotel and go stay there?

Thanks in advance
