The 90 day report in reality now is a report of your registered address.

Okay that's good. However and as in my question this morning the hotel/condo reporting slip and passport will not do for 90 day report then, as I was told?

Btw, is the 90 day online reporting up and going and what is the time frame before/after there again? I have used that system only once, sometime just after they launched that possibility.

Do your 90 report via mail.

Last year I decided to stay 8 months on Koh Samet.

We live in Bangkok.

I did report via mail..

Made one trip during that time to obtain (renew) annual extension.

 

Just to add to above info re no need for TM30. 

That also applies to international travel.

Do nothing when you return with your reentry permit. 

Only file Tm30 if you reentered with new visa or exempt..

I was thinking about 90 day online but I guess it's not quite according to the rules, but then again by mail or 90 day online when anyway not on registered address when submitting the report, shouldn't make any difference, that of course don't make it right ???? ????

I like it here for now and want to stay at this "holiday address" a little longer but do not want the hassle and paperwork with changing address and I have a 90 day report coming up just before Christmas so few days ago I asked the immigration here (one of the volunteers who are there to help us) and was told that with the copy of the report I had with me in hand from the apartment hotel I live temporarily that I could do the 90 day report to the relevant Immigration Office without changing my permanent address in Thailand. I was very thankful for that reply but come to think about it later on if it could be I misunderstand or the volunteer misunderstand me or have it really got so easy compared to previous years where we had to report change of the address promptly! If you or anyone else have some experience with this I would be grateful for info.

Thanks

Clearly no limit to ignoring the actual situation the World and Thailand are in due to Covid -19 when it comes to ta attracting and deceiving both inhabitants and tourists....

I came in a week ago and they wanted to see ID and vaccine certificate (paper format in my case) but no question about Mor Prom or any other app.

When I agree, then most locals do actually that and no they are not the once a month runners....

There is not TM30 reporting or a TM27 requirement unless you change your address to a different different office.

 

Thank you for replying. So if I'm just a foreign local tourist for a month in another province and don't want to change address I don't need to do anything else than holidaying????️????

I think of our own interest and health we should have a insurance but when that said Thailand should accept any insurance from abroad as long as it cover the same basic coverage as the Thais get from their own Governments healthcare system.

Can someone in plain text explain what the current regulations are and my duty in that connection according to immigration when staying in a province other than at registered residence for a month (condo / hotel)?

Thanks

Yes, correct your personal 40K/400K coverage is not sufficient to the $50,000 USD coverage including covid required now for entry into Thailand.
I would call this entry insurance as it only needs to cover your initial permission to stay granted.  If you use a re-entry permit you will be stamped in for a permission to stay until your "until" date on your re-entry permit (which could be almost a year away).

Then there is the insurance required for Non-OA holders or extensions thereof.  This is what you are NOT required to have (as you are a holder of a Non-O visa/extension).

So when your permission to stay in Thailand is about to expire you can go get another extension of stay from your local immigration office and because you are on a Non-O (note the absence of the A) you are not required to have insurance.

 

Put in other words, a holder of a non-O visa/extension is only ever required to have health insurance when they enter Thailand and it only needs to cover the period of their initial permission to stay which in the case of a re-entry permit will be until the "until" date on the permit.
 

Ok, and thanks for clearing up my personal question/situation. This can actually fit well in with the summer in Europe because my extension now are valid until end August next year and if I not remember wrong so are the re-entry permit (passport in car and I'm not turning out again tonight will check tomorrow) so a June/July holiday 2022 could fit and then avoiding a too long expensive extra re-entry insurance. However lets hope the restrictions and need for a specific covid-19 insurance is gone by then.

Two separate issues that cause understandable confusion, so let me separate them.

General health insurance that one as a holder of a Non-OA Visa or re-entry permit for an extension of stay based on a Non-OA must have to enter Thailand or apply for a new extension of stay.  In the case of a valid Non-OA visa you will be stamped into Thailand for the shorter period of one year (to which you are entitled by the Non-OA) or the coverage period of your health insurance.  In the case of a re-entry permit you will be stamped into Thailand for the permission to stay until the expiration of the re-entry permit or the coverage period of your health insurance, whichever is shorter.  This does not apply to you as a holder of an extension of stay from a Non-O visa.

General health insurance that one must have when you enter Thailand to cover the initial period of your permission of stay.  All must have this insurance (except for Thais).  The coverage is $50,000 USD and must include covid.  How this effects you is determined by how you enter Thailand:

visa-exempt entry means you are given 30 day permission to stay and must have this period covered by your insurance

 

tourist visa entry means you are given 60 day permission to stay and must have this period covered by your insurance

 

non-O visa means you are given 90 day permission to stay and must have this period covered by your insurance

 

re-entry permit means you are given permission to stay equal to the "until" date on your re-entry permit and must have this period covered by your insurance.

Once in Thailand you will be able to apply for a new extension of stay based on your Non-O visa without needing health insurance coverage.  Someone in Thailand who applies for a new extension of stay based on a Non-OA visa WILL need health insurance coverage.

Maybe I'm far of but if this shall follow the "Covid Thailand pass system" for re-entry, my personal 40K/400K with a max coverage annually of 900K will not be good enough until the re -entry expire / permission to stay expire, but after applying and eventually granted a new one year extension its good enough????????????

Among other things.

The enforcement mechanism occurs whenever you apply for an extension of stay or re-enter the country.  Your coverage must cover the period from when the application is granted or when you enter the country up until your permission of stay expires.  In other words, your insurance coverage must be synchronized to the satisfaction of Thai Immigration.  If it's not you won't receive permission to stay in excess of your insurance coverage.  Having to adjust your coverage dates to suit Thai Immigration is less than convenient.

So in other words if I go one month to Europe (I'm on Non O retirement extension) to visit relatives/family the 40K/400K health insurance I have here must be upgraded when returning and cover me until next extension here...hmm but here people on extension pr. today not need insurance????

Felt

I have this 40K/ 400K insurance which I signed up for some years ago in case the situation quickly should demand that they on Non O retirement extensions also would need insurance for Immigration purposes and as I understand it for now its still not a requirement as long as I not travel out and reenter but then comes my question for travelling in I need higher coverage but what when I'm back here in my routine daily life.

In advance thank you.

No one can give you a price unless you state what kind of bike.

Your Phuket location maybe useful, too.

Honda Dream / Wave will do..

Anyone who know the approximate monthly rental prices for a motorbike in Phuket and/or could recommend a reliable rental company?

Is there nothing you can cultivate on your side at the plot boundary of the noisy neighbor. Something that needs fertilizer weekly - real cow dung????

Great at a time when thousands of citizens still depend on food hand outs to get through the day

Travelling from Phuket again?

Chumphon is a red zone, Phuket is orange so you're not coming from a dark red zone. I don't think you'll have any problems, particularly if you're fully jabbed. 

Yes , Thanks.

They will come but have most likely no hurry due to already bookings for the winter at Canary Islands so will let the stormtroopers do the surveillance and if clear make their way next high season????

Old topic but still actual. Want to go again soon so allow me to ask if someone of the Chumphon locals can advice on necessary precautions, check points, Covid-19 tests etc. for entrance into town. Btw, fully vaccinated.

Thanks
