You can apply for the non-o visa at any office but it has to be done at the designated office for where you are living.

You can apply at Jomtien immigration. 

Requirements are here. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/8-1.pdf

Thank you Ubonjoe.  So based on your attachment, it looks like the TM87 form is required.  Also wondering about that 3 months of rental receipts requirement?  What if the applicant is staying in a hotel?

You can do it at Jomtien. 

You entered tourist visa, visa exempt..? 

The question is for the case of a 30 day visa exempt entry.

Thank you.

Is it possible to do this conversion at Jomtien Immigration or is a trip to Chang Wattana required?

Has anyone successfully done this recently?

Also if anyone has a list of requirements and forms to fill out, much appreciated.

Thank you.

The day or arrival and day 5 T&G hotels do not have to be the same place, but you may  have trouble finding a T&G hotel upcountry. 

Sheryl,

What is the best way to  book a Test and go hotel once the new program is available?  I see a list on the link you published , is that the best way? Also where is the best site for getting the required covid health insurance?

Thank you.

Article from Thaiger states Feb 1.

 

The Thailand Pass Test & Go program has been rebooted, and vaccinated travellers will be able to register for (almost) quarantine-free entry to Thailand re-starting February 1.

Thanks. So if you apply on 1 Feb, any idea of processing time and earliest possible entry date?

How soon can you apply, and how long does processing time take?

Not necessary, wheat bread with boiled, poached or scrambled egg.

What egg-xactly do you mean? 10 eggs and 10 pieces of bread is unhealthy no matter how you "slice" it.  ..kind of like a super-sized diet softdrink, and lettuce not forget the all you can eat salad bar.????

How many eggs and toast can someone eat? Sounds like a pretty fattening and I unhealthy diet?

Yes, there is no harm in applying for numerous Thailand Passes.

Question only about Thai Pass here.  If applying for multiple Thai passes, based on possible different dates of departure, would you have to pay for additional PCR tests and new hotel reservation each time you submit new Thai Pass application

Your options for the Phuket Sandbox or a AQ hotel stay of 7 or 10 days depends upon whether your are full vacated or not.

Seven days may not be enough to get a Thailand Pass issued. See here for info. https://tp.consular.go.th/

Thank you Ubonjoe.

Phuket is not a possibility.

So based on original questions, and if double vaxed,  is a Thailand Pass, the only current option with a 7 day quarantine, and how to go about making arrangements,for Thailand Pass, hotel, etc.  Could the quarantine also be other than Bangkok, such as Pattaya? I will check the website, you noted and hopefully answer the questions.

Also trying to understand how long Thailand pass takes to get registered, as you noted 7 days may not be enough?

If another thread covers this and the original questions, happy to be pointed in the right direction.

OP, just to clarify. 

Your on extension to non O retirement. 

You have all the financials in place re bank account for your extension. 

You want to come bank to obtain extension. 

You have a reentry permit. 

Surely your not just returning to obtain extension.

Ridiculous time to travel to Thailand.

Best start afresh when travel is more predictable and requirements not involving quarantine.

It's easy to start over with visa exempt entry at a later time. 

 

I assume that you do not have a valid non O-A and are in fact doing an extensions to non O

Thank you for your advice.

Just to clarify this is for extending, Non-O retirement, currently on 12 month extension.

All other requirements on financials, re-entry permit, etc. are met.

Do you have any specific information on, ASQ hotel bookings, and required time needed to clear quarantine etc.

Also best costs, and possible ASQ locations? Is it possible to choose such as Bangkok or Pattaya? Does it all have to be done online?

Thanks again.

Need to come back in next week to extend retirement extension.

First attempt at doing this, so could someone please explain step by step for how to come back in and various requirements/procedures.

Currently have tentative plane ticket booking and can arrange PCR (72 hours before departure?).

Not really sure how to do the rest, ASQ hotel bookings, and required time needed to clear quarantine etc.

Also best costs, and possible ASQ locations? Is it possible to choose such as Bangkok or Pattaya? Does it all have to be done online?

How many days before extension expires recommended entry etc.

Any and all advice welcome.

That may accept it since you just entered the country after a long period of time outside the country.

 

Thank you very much.  Any recommendations for hotels either near Bangkok CW or Pattaya from anyone?  Not sure which it could be yet......

Scenario:  After several months away, return to Thailand 1 week before retirement extension due date.

No time to look for new apartment, so would be in a serviced apartment or hotel.

Assuming the hotel files TM30, would an extension be possible.  (leaving aside any Test and Go, ASQ changes or assumptions for now)

Thank you for any advice.

@ubonjoe,

Thank you very much that is sound advice!

It depends upon what they are calling retirement visa.

Since the covid 19 pandemic the problem has been getting the non-o visa for family members (the MFA and immigration do not mention dependent anywhere) from a embassy or official consulate if for those on non-oa  or non-o visas for retirement and few others. See this from a embassy website.

Source: https://thaiembdc.org/visas/

A non-o visa for family members of a person on a extension of stay based upon retirement is not shown on their list for them. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/issuing-and-changing-type-of-visa/

Ubonjoe,

Sorry I am a bit confused .  Does this mean that  foreign dependent family members overseas of a retiree who is already on a Non-O 12 month extension of stay, can no longer apply for  a 90 day non-imm O for initial entry, and then extend based on being a dependent, 12 months at a time, as they could in the past?

Why are they called centipedes? Only seeing 40-50 legs in the pic.

Any and all advice appreciated including cost, processing times, etc.

Thank you

Anybody know when updated? Had 2nd jab over a week ago and got certificate showing 2 jabs.  QR code on certificate still only shows first jab.  The only place where I can see a second jab is on Thai Ruam Jai website. May also need the QR code for verification, so any info appreciated.

Thanks.

Had my 2nd jab of AZ yesterday at SCG Bang Sue.  They indicated 2 weeks to update everything. I see both vaccinations in the appointment screen as completed on Thai Ruam Jai, but when I go to certificate I still see "You need two doses". So... I guess keep checking back.

Thanks for info.

Had 2 jabs and can see them both on Thai Ruam Jai app. But QR code linked to MOPH on paper vaccine certificate still shows only one. Anyone knows when data linked to QR code is updated?

1. Need a good Mexican tamale stall for breakfast. Rojo, Verde, and some oaquenos.  Some chilaquiles as well.

2. NE Indian food such as Naga with the infamous 

 chili Naga jolokia.

3. Scottish with haggis, Lorne sausage and deep fried mars bars.

Wash her all down with a wee dram of Don Julio.

Any advice on latest requirements appreciated. Can it be done 2 weeks early or 1 week after required report date? Is appointment required? Are any paperwork forms like TM47 required or just a copy of previous 90 day report slip? Thanks for feedback ... 

Canned soup????   How gauche!!!!
