Removed by MODS. and just some lite info to inform some if needed is that we went to Phuthum Thani immigration late last month to apply for extension of Visit Wife/Famaily visa and was informed to come back on 18th Sept. But we went today and now they say come back on the 26th September because immigration mentioned we can not apply during Covid/Amnesty period. So how many people are expected to be at the immigration on the 26th ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NightSky Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 it was only a few years back that anyone staying longer than 3 months on a tourist visa was immediately labelled a major criminal only worthy of deportation. They soon changed their tune! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 My retirement extension is going to expire before Covid-19 rules will allow me back into Thailand. That means I'll have to start over at immigration when I am allowed back in. I now have to wonder if some other SEA country has simpler to jump thru hoops and deal with their red tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailen Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Originally, as I recall, the 14-day quarantine was served at a hotel or location determined by Immigration, unless you had proof of residency(rental contract, ownership of house or condo) and in that case, you could serve the 14 days there. Please tell us the proposed quarantine policy if known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell us the proposed quarantine policy if known. Looks like gov' quarantine centres or what they call ASQ hotels only. You pay for both. ASQ will probably be standard or higher than normal cost as you will pay for tests and room service food etc. No home isolation or quarantine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANSIAM Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 1 hour ago, pantsonfire said: 1200 tourists will be 12 Exactly, nobody will be coming with this top 10 countries idea. At most maybe the people in the top 5 countries with CV19 cases could be excluded, this long stay scheme has to involve all countries : test before departure - test on arrival - 14 day ASQ. this is more than sufficient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe right now all SEA countries have huge hoops and red tape or closed completely. We may have a chance soon to return if they are deciding on this long stay tourist scheme unless you are expiring this month or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! yet, you had more to add ... Quote Nothing has to do with better off. It has do do with applying and showing the right papers ask for by your personal IO. Easy peasy to understand. Now please repeat your version of moaning in another set of words. The "right papers" which are never the same. Multiple offices - multiple attempts - different "right papers" in each, and modified per-attempt at some of the same ones. Are you going to pretend the "right papers" is something that acutally exists, again? How many baht do I have in my pocket? If you guess wrong, hand me 50K Baht, and you get an extension of stay!!

vandeventer Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Will people that have been vaccine against the virus be treated any different? Also does it matter where the vaccine was produced ? Let us know if the vaccine [which is coming very soon] cancels out the need for the 14 days quarantine,and also the 100,000 usd health insurance?

roxnadz Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 What is the point of limiting who can come in when they want you to have COVID insurance and stay in a quarantine hotel for 2 weeks anyway, on your dime? Oh, that's right, they don't want anyone to come in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not asking for 'special favors to suit him'. For the record I do not believe the sheer 'visitors' or 'tourists' should be given priority at this stage. Far too dangerous. Meanwhile there are quite a few of us (dirty ferangs as we are often referred to as) who have hundred of thousands of dollars investments (something the Thai Government always promote and now is deperately trying to 'WOO THE INVESTORS) and/or other legitimate family interest in Thailand. Some of us depend on one year visa renewable as the only option to stay legally. At the moment, many of us have or will loose this visa because we cannot renew as we are stuck out. This renewal comes with a usd 25,000 balance at the bank in addition to everything else. So please do get a grip and try and think a little before you lash out and make childish comments/statements. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
