does anyone think it will get easier from 1st june?

I noticed a thread where Phnom Pehn wants you to jump through hoops for a tourist visa, and if it's like a few years ago you'll only get one. Why do people not apply for tourist visa online through website? For example, if you're from UK you would apply online and it would go through London embassy. If you're not in UK I don't think Thai officials would know, if you had a home/residency in UK. And when they sent you electronic visa you could use it to enter Thailand. I'm sure there is a reason why it's impossible but just wondering.

Thanks, I wasn't sure but what you're saying makes more sense. I might just want to see if restrictions get better from June.

I've heard Safety Wing is reliable if the unfortunate happens, but I'm still not sure how it works. They basically say they'll pay $50 per day towards quarantine if a doctor/government says it's neccessary. So if I failed a PCR test (or day 5 rapid test) would I just say take me to a quarantine hotel (hopefully one close to $50 per day) and let them sort out the insurance with my provider? They also offer $250,000 cover so that bit is okay.

Hello, I want to apply for a tourist visa (STV) online, but I have a quick question to make sure it's okay. I'm a UK resident, but I'm on holiday at the moment. It asks where you're residency/current address is, which is obviously 2 different places. When I enter my UK residency it says it will apply to UK Thai embassy, but if they can't confirm residency it could take a month to process. Shouldn't be a problem although I can't visit them. I just want to make sure if the UK Thai embassy processes my visa, I can still print it out and fly from the country I'm in at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone been in the position where they got a vaccine with only a few empty pages in their passport, so now they have a new passport(Passport number) that doesn't match the one on the certificate? Do you think carrying old passport with right number would be enough? Even if this doesn't affect people this year, I guess it might in 2022 if vaccine certificates are still required.

Okay I will take the certificate to Thai embassy to ask when I have it.

Thanks it's just so far away to embassy. I think the certificate looks like this:

I think when the user (airline) scans QR code it gives information from Egyptian Health database. There is also an app available with info or coming very soon. Does Thailand accept these? It's the only documents thing I'm not sure about and don't want to be missing one thing.

I'm in a country where you get a vaccine certificate with a QR code people have meant to scan with a phone. It will then show the details of the person's treatment on the country's health database. Does Thailand accept QR code vaccine certificates?

Those sound great, hopefully they do stay for a while longer.

Out of curiosity, is the list almost identical with a vaccine which I might get soon. Instead of booking quarantine hotel for 14 nights you just need to book for 1 night as long as it's in the sandbox areas?

I've learned more here in minutes than hours searching online. Thanks everyone. I'm actually a British national with UK passport, so I guess I don't have to go to embassy. Would I just: 1 - apply for pre approved COE 2 - book flight, quarantine hotel, and insurance 3 - add details to get proper COE 4 - print COE and get PCR test to show airline 5 - go see agent once I'm out of quarantine and used extension

Do you mind telling me how that's possible? I didn't think you could just get on a plane without a visa. Would you just apply for the COE and say you don't have a visa?

I have a temporary residency permit for Egypt if that makes any difference, so I technically have a residency and everything that comes with it. At least I can still apply for a COE permit anywhere which is good. Does the COE permit last for 3 months or 30 days? 30 days would seen short if I have to quarantine first. If it's 3 months is there any way to stay. Like getting an agent to get me a visa for Thai language school?

Does anyone know what my best approach should be to come back to Thailand? I'm currently outside my home country and want to come back. I can't go back to my home country first because it's on a red list and tough right now. 1 Can I apply for a Thai visa at any embassy outside Thailand? 2 I want to get an education visa once here so I can stay longer. Do I apply for visa once I'm here (and come on travel visa) or try to organize study visa before I come? I'm sorry for the questions, it's so hard to dig into everything and figure out the facts. I appreciate all the replies.
