Our id here in Finland be based on social security number not so much in name. You dont have same kind system in Uk? Just thinking you can show that detail if get some problem when enter Thailand.

That sounds like a good idea but I don't think they use that information here, on the certificates at least.

It shouldn’t cause any issues upon arrival in / travel to Thailand. 

 

But, if you are concerned simply edit in your middle name.

 

Most certificates are issued in PDF format, so this is easily achieved in Adobe Acrabat or foxit Pdf editor etc. 

 

( I had to edit numbers PCR certificates with missing info, also added my Passport # to my vaccine cert)

Thanks and as it happens I did that very thing on the download copy, I wasn't sure what info the QR code contained and had my doubts if that was a good idea or not. However, the official paper certificate that they send can't be edited of course. If the download and printed copy is accepted by the powers that be then what you've suggested is probably worth a go.

My UK Covid vaccine certificate doesn't show my middle name despite my best efforts to get the information updated with the department that issues the certificates. I've already applied for a second certificate, after the NHS confirmed my full name is registered with them but still the same problem. 

Has anyone else experienced the same issue and did it cause any problems for entering Thailand?

Thanks.

I have just read this on another part of the forum: - every time you enter Thailand during the Non Imm O-A Visa 1-year validity, you will be stamped in with a 1-year permission to stay.

Does anyone know if this is still the case with the current restrictions in place?  Thanks.

Hello, 

My O-A multi-entry visa expires on December the 1st. I'm currently in the UK for family reasons  and I'd now like to return to Thailand.

I'm not sure if they would issue me with a COE based on the time I have left on my visa, however, if they did, its likely that I'd be in quarantine when my visa expires. Does anyone happen to know what would happen if this were the case?

Its been left late I know, but that was out of my control unfortunately.   

Thanks in advance.

So Non-O-A is ok to return to Thailand now? I cant keep up!

In Sweden we have an expression: "Sweep in front of your own door first". Maybe the brits should take care of their own animal abuse, like Greyhound racing and the meat industry, before pointing fingers at others. Though I supposed Thailand's an easy target when you want to shift focus and point to something far away, so you don't actually have to do anything about it except pretend that you're outraged.

We have a similar saying " Don't <deleted> on your own doorstep". I think yours may have been born out of ours? I'm inclined to agree with you, people should get their own house in order before they criticise others.

Somebody please pull down that statue of Shep 

An update to all.

I sent a message via the E Visa site to tell them the trouble I was having. The next day everything went through with no issues whatsoever.

Sent the documents to Thai embassy in London and within a few days my passport and OA visa was sent to me.

So if your having difficulties with the site, email them with your application number and hopefully that will help sort thing out.

not only have you paid 10 times the going rate for a not fit for purpose insurance policy (so now you need to buy a real policy) but the clock on that policy is now ticking and you will now not get a full period on your non OA visa as once that visa is finally issued, if it ever is, the extension will only be up to the expiration of the insurance policy. 

Not a problem and did you read the question? Was I looking for insurance advise? If your an expert on the E Visa as well then that would be useful.

we all get the need for some kind of insurance but youve just paid 30-50k for a policy that is grossly over priced and provides very poor insurance. for a tenth of the cost outside their forced scheme you would have better coverage by far.

 

to make it simpler for you to understand, youve just done the equivalent of paying 1000 baht for a coffee at starbucks when the normal price in starbucks for the same coffee wouldbe 100 baht.

To make it simple for you, I can afford it but thanks for the advise ha ha ha

Why buy the insurance to get the OA when you can get the O without insurance? Didnt you just spend 30-50k for nothing, especially lf you cant even get the actual visa you wanted? 

The O-A seems to fit my needs, I would have insurance even it wasn't a requirement. I wouldn't stay in a country for any amount of time without something in place for medical care.

It picks up on one of your saved applications where the previous initial entries force it down the Tourist Visa path.  Delete the previous ones and start from scratch.  When you delete one, refresh the page as it clears all previous ones from the table even though only one is being deleted.  Refreshing it shows the rest of them up again.

Also if you've been trying for a while, make sure the date range for previous partially completed applications is sufficient to show (and delete) them all.

 

Check each file size as there's a max limit it won't let you exceed.

Thanks, have already done both of those, deleted old applications, refreshed, not deleted, tried again, logged out logged in, still not deleted. All files uploaded within the size criteria specified. Still pulling my hair out.

To try and cut what is starting to be a long story, into a short one.

When I first heard about E Visa for Thailand I thought it was a great idea, after all, almost everything is done online now so why not.

Having registered with the E Visa site (easy to do) I then started the visa application process. The system allows you to save a part application, come back to it later, edit it and set up a completely new visa application. Saves the applications in a list and you can continue that application whenever, well in theory at least.

My problems started when I wanted to start a new application, the site decided that it would only give me one option (tourist visa)  in the drop down menu for visa type. No matter what I did or from which computer, same problem. Emailed them, got some nonsense reply several days later. Decided to set up a new E Visa account and bingo, drop down menu gave me all visa types to choose from.

That should be the end of the story, sadly not, the whole E Visa site seems to be full of glitches. It now wont allow me to  upload my documents for the 0-A visa I've applied for (it lets me select the relevant document from my folders but wont upload it). Tried to start a new application but get an error message and tells me to try again, tried again about ten times and still wont have it.

The site wont save changes I've made when in edit mode etc etc.

I've done another email on the contact page but not optimistic about the outcome.

The only contact appears to be in BKK. Does anyone know of a UK help line?

Have my flight booked for January and now have visions of having to get a 30 day visa on arrival and trying to extend.

I'm over 50, have all the relevant documents, have the health insurance in place that's now required for the O-A (did that via AXA in Pattaya, very easy, if anyone is interested).

If anyone has experienced the same problems and resolved them then I'd be very interested to hear about it, thanks.

The various temple complexes and history that goes with it is absolutely breathtaking. However, get your timings wrong and it is manic.

I used tip top tuk tuk to take me to buy the ticket and to the temples, you can find him on Facebook. A very friendly guy who won’t rip you off, will give you a tour of the various sites and will show you all the best photo opportunities.
