WISE is very expensive for large transfer, 2 or 3 times the price of SWIFT, killing any advantages of best THB rates you could get

 

therefore avoid like the plague for 10K or more,

I don’t take any chances.  I always do an international wire transfer (SWIFT) from my brokerage in USD to my Bangkok Bank account.  Brokerage charges me nothing and Bangkok Bank charges me 200 baht.  The rate is favorable.  There has never been an error and the transfer arrives one working day later.  I use the monthly 65,000 baht option so that I can spend the money immediately.  The downside is that I must telephone the brokerage to initiate the transfer every month.  There is a standing order on file so I don’t need to provide the details.  I just specify the amount in USD and my Bangkok Bank account.  Some people are willing to chance transfer errors to save a little money.  I am not.  Also, I never cut it close on the amount transferred and leave a generous margin to avoid an insufficient amount of baht transferred.  

The difference is not the bank fee (200 Baht in your case), but the exchange rate. This can be an enormous amount.

Yes, you need be fully vaccinated. You can also provide a valid ATK kit test or RT-PCR not older than 72 hours.

But I suggest you to get fully vaccinated. Without vaccination you even cannot return to Thailand if you like to travel abroad.

Covid Insurance till  99 years old

This insurance covers only Covid. Now you will need a general Insurance which covers all cases including Covid,

We discussed renting this out with our lawyer. We were told its technically illegal as most foreigners do not have a visa etc that allows them to earn income in Thailand.

 

Foreigners can earn income in Thailand (rent, interest etc.), but they need a work permit if they want work in Thailand. Foreigners also can get a tax id in Thailand without having a work permit.

My registrationhas now been sorted out and I can now access the Mor Phrom app. The certificate on the app is the only one I have . However, it does not show my passport number. Under that section it just uses the same 13 digit number. 

Take a look right from the 13 digit. There should be your passport number.

old information

I got my first shot AZ in July and the second is planed in October. I could have Moderna now, but I prefer to receive the second AZ shot.

1. reason: I will have a clear documentation about full vaccination
2. reason: I will catch a third shot beginning of next year in my home country. That time should be already the next generation of mRMA vaccines available.

Out of about 65 million either have to work or not have economy to travel around due to the long going pandemic. Then you add the huge amount of about 150 000 foreigners.

After that you have to consider the facts that we still have about 20 000 new infections and around 300 deaths per day. That means common sense tells you it´s not advisable to travel around too much yet as well as the will to take such risks wont be high.

oh really?

What visitors?

70 Million Thais and also many Farang

I just received the following answer from the German Embassy:

 

vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.

Derzeit gab es keine Probleme der Anerkennung des lokal hergestellten AstraZeneca Impfstoffes für die Rückreise nach Deutschland, sofern der Impfnachweis alle Erfordernisse gem. Coronavirus-Einreiseverordnung erfüllt.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Entscheidung zur Durchführung des Transportes am Ende die jeweilige Airline fällt. Die Nachweise sind daher bei Check-In im Original zur Prüfung vorzulegen.

Die Botschaft entscheidet nicht über die Anerkennung der Impfnachweise.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Im Auftrag

How so?

 

I am really interested and wanting to know on this subject. I have both Googled and checked the website and to me it's unclear.

 

I thought I would be OK as I will have had AZ administered in Thailand but still on the list of 4 acceptable vaccines of the UK coupled with the fact the UK is telling us on the website to get vaccinated in the country of residence if possible.

It is not important where the vaccine was administered. Only important that the administered vaccine is approved. The production facility/company must have an approval number. Regarding my information Siam Bionscience don't have this approval. Siam Bionscience just have a license from AstraZeneca but this is not enough.

This is more "eye friendly"

Check out the Plus Symbol for Astra Z.

but for Thailand Siam Bioscience is not mentioned as "Lizenznehmer"

the Phyathai Hospital in Bangkok informed me that the vaccine is still not approved in the EU

Thai produced AZ is on the List.

If you had 2 AZ shots you are free to go. If not, you can get out on day 6 from home quarantine with an extra PCR test. 

 

Where is it on the list?

Doesn't matter if the vaccine was made in the UK, it's not accepted if it was injected in Thailand.

Thanks for the update .... questions how was the parking at Phayathai 2  was there adequate spaces available?  free or a charge ?  and what time did you leave Pattaya ?(my appointment is at the same time 14:00hrs)

They have a parking house free of charge. The space in this house is quite narrow. If you have a large car it might be a bit difficult. But the staff is very helpful. They gave me a special place outside where my pickup could be parked without problem.  You will need about 1:45-2:00 hrs. to get there.

Will they accept the SMS text from the hospital as proof at the check point?  or if not how to get proof of appointment from the hospital.   everything is as clear as mud as per usual ????

I will report tomorrow if they don't lock me 555

Does anybody know if it is allowed to travel from Pattaya to Bangkok to get vaccinated on Tuesday (travel restrictions). Is a Covid-test or quarantine required?

I registered today morning and just 1 hour ago I received a SMS that I will get vaccinated next Tuesday.
