You're only a bride seeker or an orgy seeker. And these two groups have to wait or try their luck in other countries but we know that won't happen. What's the big rush to come to Thailand? 2 homes, 2 cars, banking, investments, permanent address and 26 years living and working, now retired. you think I’m a sex tourist? Says more about your circles than mine I suspect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JTXR Posted June 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2020 On 6/22/2020 at 7:41 PM, drbeach said: Chinese citizens won't be allowed to leave CHina for tourism purposes until October. So this "travel bubble" for them seems pointless and short-sighted. Yes, but once they are allowed to travel for tourism, there will likely be a flood of them in Thailand, much more than in the past. Why? Because in the past many Chinese tourists went to Europe and the U.S. as well as to Asian countries. I believe very, very few are going to want to go to U.S. or Europe in the foreseeable future; they'll go to SE Asia, Korea, Japan - places where the virus isn't still raging. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter how much you spend, what you buy or whether your name is on a tabien baan. You're still just a temporary visitor for purposes other than tourism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful. In the fineprint they write they don't cover trips to countries under a travel warning ( from the German foreign office). Thailand (and every country outside Europe) is under a travel warning. But similar non-Anglosaxon insurance has in the past been accepted by Thai Immi.

Thai people can now enter Germany without restrictions and I hope for the vice versa too. Also my recent experiences with the ADAC regarding health issues here in Thailand are extremely pleasant.

That was the restriction that the border was closed for Thais. All other restrictions still apply. Especially, Thais still need a visa. Unfortunately, the German embassy isn't issuing any visas at this time. Edited July 2, 2020 by uhuh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince77 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Even for business owners, Non-Immi type B visa holders, work permit holders, insurance cover 160.000.- US% ... they make it difficult to enter Thailand. I have all of that BUT my work permit, which was extended in my absence does not contain the extension stamp as I have the book with my as a requirement for check-in. Easy excuse for the consulate to reject my application of returning to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But similar non-Anglosaxon insurance has in the past been accepted by Thai Immi. Checked again and it's a little bit more difficult. The ADAC insurance covers health issues in countries which are under a travel warning. Exception: the insurance doesn't cover injuries through war actions, especially if the country is under a travel warning. See the enclosed abstract 3.4 of the fineprint.

DrPhibes Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I am finally able to begin the process of obtaining a COE and all the uploads as well as obtaining my Non-O multi-entry visa when I ran into this on the US Embassy website: The Embassy/Consulates-General has received the latest Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and is currently updating our Online Application for Thailand Visa and Certificate of Entry (COE). The form is not available at the moment and please check back later. I also have not heard back on an e-mail I sent 4 days ago to both the Embassy and the Consulate in Los Angeles concerning the availability of getting a seat on a repatriation flight looking forward the next few months so I can get back to my family in Chiang Mai. There has been no response to the e-mails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said there will be a new web page available on July 20 for foreigners like me to apply for my COE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Meanwhile for anyone wondering about medical/"wellness" tourism I received this message from the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, whom I contacted regarding a Cambodian woman scheduled for surgery in Thailand next month: "For non-urgent medical cases or medical tourism cases, the Thai government has approved "in principle" for non-urgent medical cases or medical tourism cases to enter Thailand BY FLIGHT ONLY (there are currently no flights from Cambodia to Thailand). However, Embassies and Consulates have yet to receive official instructions to process applications to enter Thailand for non-urgent medical cases or medical tourism cases. Please check back ..."

Sheryl Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I think it is more to do with not following a logical sequence of preparation. Instead of setting up the system first, then informing Embassies accordingly, with an effective date in the future, they announced it abruptly before having worked out any of the details. So now, though it is officially in place since July 1, it in fact hasn't started up yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
