but you like?

you think you'll get the IPO price?

Go to 2 labs and pray one gets results back in time.

It's 72 hours from the time your issued the results

Not 72 hours from the time the test was given.

As it often takes 2 to 4 days to get the results unless you're paying around $300 to a private clinic who can produce them in 2 hours (this is going by NYC rates and timeframes where Covid testing is free).

Hi Bob,

You are obviously betting on relaxed border entries in approx 2-3 months allowing you to do a border-run with your METV and get another 2 months permission to stay.  But I would be highly surprised if border restrictions would be loosened by then, so unfortunately you might be in for some trouble later on.

Spilled milk at this moment, but a better option for you would have been a VisaExempt entry or applying for the 60-day SETV, as both of these can be extended for 30 days and after that you could make use of 60-day covid extensions to extend your stay (as it is expected that those 60-day covid extensions will only be stopped when borders are open again).

But there is a real risk now that you will not be allowed to apply for a 60-day covid extension, as your METV is valid for 6 months....

Let's hope for you that with the phasing-out of the STV, that Thai Immigration would allow 60-day METV extensions in-country (or allow 60-day covid-extensions for non-expired METV) after you used up your 30-day extension at the end of your 2-month permission to stay. 

OK, thanks for worrying.

Bad idea to be honest as Thai immigration HATES METV. Yes it will be re-indroduced, but he will most probably gets problems after his 3rd one. Thai immigration will suggest him to apply for the “right visa”, he may get grilled if he enters through the wrong airports and even potentially denied entry in the worst case.

Believe me, after 9 !!! METV before Covid, I could write a book about it incl problems/ loopholes etc.????

Yeah maybe the 9 consecutive ones didn't help your situation.

I've used them before and gotten up to 9 months in Thailand each time w/o any issues.

The situation is very different now, we can all agree but this option is there for people applying for a single entry.

I haven't seen a US vaccination card and the information it contains so I can't comment on why it was acceptable but good for you. I very much doubt the small hand written card that is given out in the UK is acceptable.

 

 

We are given a small handwritten card in the USA also with a CDC logo

Quoting from the Thai Embassy website:

 

» Visa and Certificate of Entry procedures for Non-Thai nationals wishing to enter Thailand for Tourism purposes (thaiembdc.org)

 

1) Tourist visa exemption scheme

2) Tourist visa (single entry only)

3) Special Tourist Visa (STV)

 

Be interested to know what you paid for the Visa.

Proof is in the pudding.

You hold the option to apply for a 60 day Covid extension, not a 90 day extension from an STV.

0r exit the Kingdom and come back with a fresh 6O day entry stamp with my 

'multiple entry tourist visa' ????

Thai Immigration and MFA have already started with phasing out the STV.

• STV's applied for are only valid until 30 September 2021;
• When entering Thailand after 3 July 2021, you won't be able to extend your STV anymore:
• When on an STV (or extension of it) that expires before 30 September 2021, you can only apply for an extension before the date of 30 September 2021.

As we are already April, you cannot get the full 9 months out of an STV anymore.

And it would be crazy to apply for an STV when you enter Thailand after 3 July, as it would be limited to 3 months only with no option to extend. 

So well possible that - in view of the above - MFA recently 'revived' the METV, although the CoE requirements do not yet mention that option.

 

I had the option to apply for this as well.

I think in your case they made an error.

It clearly states on the website, single entry TV only.

 

You have two chances that borders will re-open in order for you to make use of that Visa, Bob Hope and No Hope. If you intend to stay longer than 90 days you would have been better with the STV.

I think you don't know what you're talking about.

Multiple Entry Tourist Visa - 7 days Quarantined on COE 

41 minutes ago, KhaoYai said:

Yes Peter, in the usual Thai manor - its a jumbled up self contradicting statement.  However, what I take from it is:

 

Book 10 (11) days no matter what the result of your COE application is because your documents will be checked at the point of entry and if they are not happy with something, 10 (11) days is what you do.  If everything is OK, you do 7 (8) and the hotels have been instructed to issue refunds. (It remains to be seen how the refund bit works out in practice)

I just was issued a COE in Usa and it states 7 days quarantine as supplied Covid vaccination card along with my submission

My ASQ is booked and accepted for 7 days.

Lot's of incorrect information floating around.

Right under your nose Bob, but then again, I hear that there are these miracle experimental vaccines readily available out there, so knock yourself out. 

Don't worry Sherm, you'll eventually get a chance to be vaccinated. 

I've gotten my double dose of Name Brand already.

I had the Op 11 days ago at Pattaya Intl, they quoted about 15k it ended up being 11k, I did wonder why hospitals didn't give a fixed price but it depends on what happens and medication I guess. The same Dr was at Sirikit Hospital at Sattahip but 6 weeks wait just to see him and quote was 7.5k to 10k. Two other hospitals quoted about 25k. I'd recommend going to Pattaya International, nice doctor, nurses and vibe in the place.

It went well, just had the dissolvable stitches out today, slight swelling day 1 but was fine next day, walking was normal. Slight tightness around the stitches for a week.

Local anesthetic, painless op but you can hear what's going on and accidentally see if you look at the reflection in light overhead so I tried not to do that. Probably better to cover your eyes and even listen to music if allowed.  Getting my teeth cleaned definitely felt worse.
