What does this mean?

[Xavi]

I saw the following phrase on the embassy website.

------------------------------------------

Evidence of purchase or hire purchase of a condominium, in accordance with respective laws, with at least 2 complete installments. 

------------------------------------------

 

Would it be possible to issue a visa just if I prove the payment history of AirB&B during my stay on the STV visa?

I would highly doubt that. Maybe there comes people with other opinions.

[champers]

I wonder if "hire purchase" really means rent and is just a translation quirk.

[luckyluke]

AirBnB is a booking service.

Doubt it will be sufficient for an i.o..

Is it possible? or not?

[Crossy]

@Xavi can you provide a link to the relevant page on the website, I think we need a bit more context.

 

I read "purchase of a condo outright or purchase on installments (hire purchase)" but it could well be lost in translation particularly if the embassy is in a non-English speaking country.

 

[steven100]

It means evidence of a condo purchase or a bank mortgage showing at least two payments made.  imo

Please, a link so we can see the context.

 

Two of us have the same interpretation of your snip which (if we are correct) would mean AirBnB is an absolute non-starter, but the page may include something you can do.

 

Help us to help you.

Quote

c. Evidence of payment for condominium or house rental. In addition, an original bank statement which states bank contact information and deposit with the equivalent amount of not less than 500,000 Baht for the last 6 months, is also required;

 

From the page you linked to - AirBnB (if pre-paid) would possibly meet this requirement.

 

To be sure you need to contact the embassy where you will be applying (note the nationality requirements in Applicants Qualifications).

[ubonjoe]

That is under this heading on that webpage.

"7. Evidence of ownership or payment for accommodation (after 14 days quarantine period) covering the entire period of intended stay in Thailand as well as, if applicable, an original financial statement as follows;"

It is this one. 

"or 
d. Evidence of purchase or hire purchase of a condominium, in accordance with respective laws, with at least 2 complete installments. If the said payment condition cannot be met, an original bank statement which states bank contact information and deposit with the equivalent amount of not less than 500,000 Baht for the last 6 months, is also required.

It is just proof of where you will staying to apply for the STV.

[Crossy]

Interesting note - 7a On that page does not appear to require the 500k bank balance.

Everything is possible in Thailand.

Sometimes a financial extra can  influence a positive outcome.

OK, what does the page of the Seoul Thailand embassy say about STV requirements?

 

Surely that would be your best starting point, information should be available in Korean and you can ask them directly.

 

Site is here https://seoul.thaiembassy.org/ I don't see any mention of STV on the English pages.

Korea is also included in the Low risk country, but there is no notice yet. So I'm looking at the website of another national embassy.

i suggest you contact them to confirm that Korea is on the list of low risk countries.

Contact info is here on the website, https://seoul.thaiembassy.org/kr/page/30552-주한태국대사관-위치?menu=5d661ce415e39c30180053da

Most of the info on the site is out of date. The info for a certificate of entry is dated early September.

Reserving won't be enough as it says:" Evidence of ownership or payment for accommodation (after 14 days quarantine period) covering the entire period of intended stay in Thailand

I will book all 90 days of accommodation in Thailand through Airbnb and pay in advance.

That may be accepted but it might depend upon how the embassy interprets the STV stay since it allows two 90 day extensions that allows a total stay of 270 days. Perhaps having ticket out of the country within 90 days of arrival would be accepted to prove you will be leaving.

Maybe I'll buy return airplane Ticket.

Howerver, If I have an STV visa, do I book a flight individually and go to Thailand personally? Or do I have to get on a chartered flight with only STV visa holders?

There is no such comment from any Thai embassy in any country.

individual? or chartered flight for STV group??

Edited October 15, 2020 by Xavi

[treetops]

The Finnish Embassy specifically states:

Quote

The applicant must arrange their own air tickets . . . .

The STV seems unlikely to attract enough for a planeload in any country so commercial flights makes more sense.

You would have to check with the embassy about flights approved for you to fly on. I does not have to be a chartered or repatriation flight if there are approved flights you can board.

I read about the requirements for a STV and possible flights at the Thai Embassy in Helsinki, Finland (in english). They mention 5 or 6 accepted airlines and you book the ticket yourself. It seems the initial announcement about chartered or private flights only, are not on the table anymore. A bit strange because the TAT and the minister of Tourism and Sports still mentions them when they are talking about the STV. What if ONE person from Finland applies for the STV incl the CoE, will he really be able to get here?

I think the chartered flight were only for the test runs of the STV.

 

[JusticeGB]

Don't ask in a public forum the rules change from day to day and each country and Embassy has different interpretations of the rules. Different Immigration offices in Thailand also apply different rules to foreigners living in Thailand. Their ability to keep up with the constant changes in rules and regulations covering the Visa regulations is too challenging.
