COE or not?

[Baht Man]

I've been living here, married to a Thai, fully insured with Cigna and was wanting to go back to the US for the jabs.

I've got a copy of the marriage cert., house book, money in the bank, Typical stuff to stay here and just got a re-entry permit

I'm wanting to get back to the US for the jabs, and return to Phuket vs BKK due to the restrictions there.

I've read elsewhere that, under these conditions, I don't need a COE. Correct or not?

 

Thanks

Not correct.  You will need a COE, but should be very straightforward and easy/quick.

Thanks, I finally got this figured out.

After going to the Thai Embassy site in the US they were asking for my vaccine records and I'm thinking......how can I do that while I'm still in Thailand?

Then it dawned on me...I have to apply for the COE after I get the jabs. Idiot.

Now I just need to be able to stay in the US long enough after the jabs to get the COE.

Wish I was young again,
