Going to apply for ThailandPass on November 1 and hoping to fly to Phuket (Sandbox) on 6th November.

So if everything goes well with ThailandPass,

Arrival to Phuket in the morning of 7th November.

Return flight on 21th November afternoon. Arriving home on 22th Nov. morning.

But i am not sure about the dates of travel insurance. (Axa Sawadee)

Should i purchase the policy for 7th-21th November (dates that i will actually be in Thailand), or include the 6th and 22th November as well ?

Thank you...

It depends upon the embassy or official consulate approving your Thailand Pass application.

Most insurance companies only sell the covid 19 insurance in 30 day increments.

Thank you.

I think i will go with this one.

I was able to get different quotes depending on number of days.

If i will have to purchase a 30-day policy that's ok too. Just do not want to take any risks as i have limited time to get approval.

Yes i am fully vaccinated, just not from the list of 46 countries.

I picked Medium Term Visitor - Visa exemption option while applying for CoE.

But as i will be there only for 14 days, isn't a 30 days validation a bit much?

The covid 19 insurance only needs to valid from the day you enter Thailand to the day you leave.

Then 7th Nov - 21th Nov it (14 days) it is.

Thanks for your answer.

Hello,

With the extra 2 days it costs some more but i just want the safest option for coverage and ThailandPass to be approved.

Thank you for your help !

I have not found any hotels in Bangkok that offer "sandbox"?  Have you?  I'm not sure that sandbox is  running in Bangkok yet.

I decided to go with Phuket Sandbox as i can still make changes on my flight and it looks like it will be easier.

Apply via COE, you should have plenty time.

thank you for your answer...

if i apply for CoE tomorrow, and do not get a pre-approval until Nov 1st, then i can also try my luck with Thailandpass ?

Or once i go for the CoE i'll have to stick with it and wait until the pre-approval comes...

I can't reach the embassy in my country to ask if i should apply for CoE or wait for ThailandPass.

My flight is on 6th November and the it looks like even if i try to apply for CoE, which i can do tomorrow, i won't be getting it on time.

(I mean considering they are not answering the calls or e-mails, it is going to be fairly slow.)

Anyone know if ThailandPass applications will be processed by the local embassies as well ?

Hello,

Must i book for an ASQ hotel for a week for Bangkok Sandbox ? (Fully vacinated, but not flying from a low-risk country. Got to stay in Bangkok for a week before travelling somewhere else.)

Booking a SHA+ hotel package for 7 days is not possible ? I think it will be cheaper than an ASQ hotel, as i don't need 3 meals etc. included.

Thank you.
