Do you see a link at the Top left for K-Online Debit Card? I have it. Clicking it brings up the account. Under the balance it says See More and that will take you to the screen with the info about the card. 

I think the one million USD "investment" would be on top of the astronomical price you need to pay to get the visa in the first place. Although I guess of you are dumb enough to put in the million, another 20 grand is chump change 

Either get an agent, or start looking to near countries for a border run. I think Singapore is open to the fully vaxxed, and the PI is opening soon. Still have to do test and go when returning, but better than getting arrested, deported, and black-listed.

Test and go suspended so how can they still be testing over 300 a day?

Only new apps suspended. People still arriving daily need the second test.

What is the meaning of this:

8. Then proceed directly by the approved airport transfer to the pre-arranged COVID-19 test centre

Is there some option to go get a test and wait for the results without having to check into a hotel? Basement of the airport would be a great place to do 1 hour testing IMO.

Phuket Sandbox flight arrivals have all been around 1230 with test on arrival and results have been received at the hotel during the evening, after which one is free to go out. I have not read one complaint about results arriving late. So I cannot see any reason why anyone would be made to stay any longer than one night.

Maybe check this thread right here. Exactly as I predicted...

There are shortcuts, you just have to figure out where they are.

For the USA, i did not even submit a monthly statement. Simply a screenshot from my banking app with my name and balance visible.

My Thai wife & I have been married for 7 yrs, (together for 10), and we ran into the same problems as you when we applied and went through the process twice. Seems it's way simpler to get an Immigration Visa than a Visitor Visa to go and see my family in the States. We don't want to move back, we're very happy right here where we are. About $3000 USD each time down the drain. Both attempts were made during the Trump administration, and both took over a year to be rejected. I wish you the best of luck.

I hope you mean 3000 baht, because the price to apply for a tourist visa is only 100 bucks. 

Given the large number of other Asians here, especially Japanese and Koreans, Thai's should not be expecting a tip at all.

I was at dinner tonight, had a 2000 baht Bill and asked my daughter about tipping. She said no need to tip.

Both of my stays in ASQ have allowed a 6 am departure also. 

I experience this also. 

In my case one of the two sets of muscles in my throat stopped working. Doctor says likely caused by a micro-stroke at some point. Says this is often one of the only ways that you can know or tell that you had the event. 

As long as i chew my food to liquid, i can get it down. Starchy foods like lettuce and french fries are hard. Rice nearly impossible. If i do get a blockage, which rarely happens after nearly 15 years, most times the only way out is to throw it up and start over. happens most often when i get in a hurry. A normal meal might take me over an hour to eat, or less if i get bored with it and give up. 

Once had a small piece of almond from a dairy queen blizzard stuck for nearly a day. Often thought about learning to shove a chopstick down my throat like a plunger!

In order to activate on a new phone, you must be present in Thailand. You have to be connected to a Thai Mobile Provider, and then use the ATM to activate the new phone. The App is associated with the IMEI of the phone, so simply restoring the program on the new phone will not work. 

First off, while you might get a refund from your Sandbox hotel, your insurance you were forced to buy will pay nothing unless you are actually sent to the hospital for having a positive test. If only sent to ASQ, it is all out of your pocket at inflated prices because they are almost all converted to Sandbox.

Secondly, remember that it is not actually 14 days. If you arrive after 2PM, then that day does not count. And, you must spend 15 nights in ASQ. So in reality, you end up walking out on the 16th day after arrival (if after 2PM) as early as 6AM. 

I applied on the 15th of July to DC for a departure on the 21st. Received my pre-approval back on Sat the 17th about 1600. Uploaded my remaining docs then and got the approval about noon on Monday the 19th. 

Very quick process, at least in my case. Sitting in quarantine now.

What if I am going to stay in my own condo?  I would legitimately be a tourist, just happen to own a place in Thailand.

You have to go to quarantine first, so hotel required.

Obviously decided that it will be easier to threaten foreign stayers than Thai for speaking out about the conditions.

That's why there will be another lock down.  

Prophetic. It has now been ordered. Malls, Bars, Massage, Gyms all to close. Restaurants takeout only.
