Tounge Thaied Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Your answer is at your countries (your passport) Thai embassy that is currently taking VISA applications like this one...https://thaiconsulatela.org/en/visa/visa-type/ Edited July 20, 2020 by Tounge Thaied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 To be fair he is right, it's not hard to find out the restrictions, we are all just normal persons on here also that managed to do that. Personally I have missed two trips already, and have no clue when normal people will be allowed back, check with your own embassy also, they may have some guide lines https://www.thaiembassy.com/travel/can-you-enter-thailand-now-during-the-covid-19-crisis.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the bottom of the page. "This is NOT the official website of the Thai Embassy." It is known to have some incorrect and misleading info. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sujo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Vietnam may be open sooner. Try there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sungod Posted July 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2020 To be fair, no chance of you being refused entry as you wont be able to get on a plane in the first place. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbeach Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Another one of these posts. Looks some people didn't get the message the world closed down late March. But let's speculate a little - when will Thailand re-open without unreasonable restrictions? Answer is whenever those keeping the borders closed agree to allow them to swing open, which would mean neighboring countries largely re-open in tandem. So what you'll probably see is after flights are restored, land borders will re-open (some people have speculated it could be the other way round, but my guess is flights will come first because disease control measures at land borders are not as well established). Then, once all restrictions are dropped (or enough to allow relative freedom of movement) land borders will open. It could also be that Thailand and Myanmar agree on borders to re-open a few days or weeks before Thailand and Cambodia/Laos/Malaysia reach a similar agreement. Something like that. When could this be? At the very earliest, sometime in September or October, but chances are, with the delay of the travel bubbles and only a few more categories of non-citizens allowed in next month but with quarantines (and the situation in other countries looks similar) I personally think November or December is more likely but even that's tentative. In fact, most probably we won't be seeing freedom of movement until sometime in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to when Thailand sort of plans to re-open but under a "travel bubble" initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No normal beople cannot come to Thailand unless you do the paper work, but you will still be denied. Even unnormal people will have a hard time coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalasin Jo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Poster's question ,perhaps not so naive as some think. The EU have put Thailand in the Covid green " safe for you to go" category even though Thailand won't let you in at the border. It's also being wrongly interpreted on some travel advice sites that if coming from Thailand anyone can now enter the EU. Yett last time I looked France is still strictly enforcing that only limited categories of persons from departure points outside the EU such as French nationals and French residents who are not French, nationals together with spouses and children. Also students studying in France can enter. All are supposed to do 14 days voluntary quarantine at their French residence there. Thais would need a visa too, as before Covid, and again visas are only being issued to those in the limited categories. For some weeks the French visa service was not open at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madisongy Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm a US citizen. Wife is Thai. I'm guessing that her entry is allowed, and mine is going to require a bit more effort. Anyone know what the current rules are? We are looking at staying for about 3-4 months, then it's back to US. What is the best bet on visa for a 3-4 month stay when married to Thai?

You would be on long and difficult process to enter Thailand. Many current threads on the process. Re schedule your trip for 2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best bet on visa for a 3-4 month stay when married to Thai? At this time there are only repatriation flights available. Your wife will have to apply for a certificate of entry, get a covid 19 test and have a fit to fly certificate. Then after arriving go into quarantine at a state facility unless your she reserves and pays for room at a hotel for the 14 days. You would have to apply for a single entry non-o visa that allows a 90 day stay. Then you need the same doucment your wife will need plus a $100k US covid 19 insurance policy. Ant you would to pay for a designated hotel for the 14 day quarantine. Probably not worth doing it for a 3 or 4 month trip. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has 7 months residency in US on the green card, so we will stay here and continue to rack up more toward the 18 she needs for citizenship app. But this is good to know, in the event of a family emergency.
