AQ / Sandbox / CoE Query - Urgent!

[FrostedTips]

Hi all,

 

Firstly, thank you very much in advance for any and all responses. 

 

I am travelling to Phuket on a Non-B visa for work. I have been issued my visa but I have to go much sooner than I had anticipated (next week, ideally Wednesday). 

 

I just wanted to know the following:

 

1) Will it be possible to get my CoE in time for a flight on Wednesday next week? It would be via the UK London embassy.

2) Can I opt for the Sandbox program instead of the AQ on a Non-B visa? I am fully vaccinated, will have PCR, insurance etc.

3) Is there any difference in the time taken to issue CoEs for Sandbox vs. AQ? If I am pressed for time is one easier than the other to obtain?

Many thanks again for your help. I cannot get a hold of anyone in the UK embassy and I am freaking out! I also live in Ireland where they decided to close the Thai embassy so I have to phone the UK at my own expense only to be left on never-ending hold  :(

No worries. good luck in getting all the ducks lined up and hopefully you'll still be able to chill in Phuket without too many restrictions.
