The 2.8 is a reference to a clause in the immigration order for extensions. "2.8 In the case study in a government educational institution: Each permission shall be granted for a period certified by educational institution, which shall not exceed one year" Not sure how a agent could arrange such a extension. The 45k baht mentioned is for the agent to arrange a extension based upon retirement with no financial proof needed. The fee for any extension of stay done at immigration is 1900 baht.

I am 100% sure it was not a 60 day tourist visa entry. There would be dozens of reports about it being needed if it was factual and there have none before your post. As I wrote before the only extension that requires it is the 90 day of STV entry.

What category of extension was it. At this time only the extension of a STV visa entry requires proof of covid 19 insurance.

That is my summary of what it states in the regulation. If you have a re-entry permit for a existing permit to stay or a multiple entry visa the report is not needed after entering the country if you return to the same address.

at OP's request.

The best way is to create a file with both images in it. Many Thai government website only allow one file to be uploaded.

Your Thai bank my charge a small fee for it. You may not always get the best exchange rate since it is sent in Thai baht. Edit: If using transfers to prove income for a extension of stay the Bangkok Bank option is best since it is shown as a international transfer. The other way requires credit advices to prove the transfer came from abroad.

You can set up a direct deposit with Bangkok bank to have your SS payment sent to your account here via their branch in New York. The fee is $5 up to $2000 and 10 for more than that. Info is here on their website. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/Transfers/Transferring-Into-Thailand/Transfer-money-from-US-to-Thailand-via-Bangkok-Bank-NewYork-branch I have been using it for several years now. You can also have your SS payment to sent to any Thai bank by International Direct Deposit (IDP). It is transferred by the US Treasury Department in baht. Form to have it started. https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-1199-op107.pdf

Immigration issued an order last June changing their requirements for the report. They are only needed if you change your address or enter the country with a new visa. This is the order. TM30 reporting regulation.pdf

If it meets the $100,000 coverage it will be accepted. For you own protection you make sure it starts from the day you enter the country and covers treatment when not showing symptoms (asymptomatic).

The country you are in when you start your trip to here. There will probably be a minimum number of days in that country to qualify (maybe 14 or 21 days).

If she went to the Amphoe where her birth was registered they could check their file for the registration and provide a copy of the birth certificate.

You can apply for a one year extension of stay based upon marriage while on a covid 19 extension of your original permit to stay from a non-o visa. Many people have done it already.

The are doing many things by mail now. I would assume a certified copy could be done by mail.

The rules for entry to Thailand do not require a ticket out of the country if you have valid visa for entry. If denied boarding you can ask for a supervisor or they can check the rules for entry to here.

if fully vaccinated and from one of the listed country they are saying that one PCR test must be done when you arrive and then you would spend one night in a SHA hotel until you get the negative test result. Best on to confuse it with sandboxes that would be for those not vaccinated or from a listed country. I am sure there will be better info and clarifications later.

I didn't' post a link with my post.

I think you may be applying for the COE a little to early. Did you click the symbol shown here when you were trying to upload the certificate.

You have to spend 1 night in SHA+ hotel for the results of your covid 19 test done on arrival. After that you can go wherever you want to. The order for the special tourist visa (STV) was extended until September of 2022. A 15 day visa on arrival may be possible for those that qualify for one enter one of the sandboxes. A 30 day visa exempt entry is allowed for those that qualify for it. You can apply for a non-o visa at immigration if you qualify for one.

He entered visa exempt so only the covid 19 insurance was needed. See this in the OP.

I have just cleaned out a multiple post bickering session from this topic. Time to end it now.

But only for the first night to wait for the covid 19 test results.

She would show both passports when checking in for her flight to show her US passport to prove she doesn't need a visa to enter the US. She would only show her Thai passport when at departure immigration. Then of course enter the US with her US passport.

All land border crossings are currently closed other than those who can get a pass to cross into Thailand from Laos. Entering at land border crossings currently has a 14 day quarantine requirement. Flights from Laos to Thailand do not exist at this time as far as I know.

You will have to apply for a 90 day non-o visa entry at immigration before applying for the one year extension of stay based upon retirment. Requirements for the visa are here. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/8-1.pdf You can ignore 5.3 if you have had the 800k baht in the bank for a long time. It is only in the clause since the money only needs to be in the bank on the day you apply. It appears you will need to apply for a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry to meet the 15 days remaining on your entry requirement. You can apply for the extension on the same day you apply,
