How can I get the vaccine with the tourist visa? The spanish embassy passed me a link for the registrationl, but when I want to register, in type of visa there is no tourist visa. I upload the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puccini Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It is called vaccination tourism. For all you know, the OP arrived on Thailand with a tourist visa over a year ago, stayed on with repeated Covid-19 extensions and now that vaccination is offered to foreigners would like to make his contribution toward containing the pandemic by getting vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 @jonga. I have a feeling it would help if you indicated on what website you are trying to register for the vaccination 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 contact spanish consulate and ask, which visa you should chose. There is vax for all over 40 at bangkok hospital pattaya. They use to have pfizer, but still do the AZ and sinovac. They had 4 programs to chose from. Need to register, within a few days there is a booking. They don't ask about visa status 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so if I don't have a resident visa it means that I don't live here, I didn't know that, thank you for the information. Now when someone ask me where I live, I will answer "nowhere" because I'm a tourist for 20 months already ???? When I buy a one-year visa then yes, close minded people will consider that I live here. It' curious but in Thailand all is about money, you are rich, you have the best visa, you are not rich, you can pay for any "legal" visa in the market. And yeah, another people get the visa 100% legally, but some people we can't access to that for one reason or another.

jonga80 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 It's quite funny that my spanish friend who buy a medical visa has te right to be vaccinnated and me no, because I still have the tourist visa, and I live here the same like him and the same like any of you, but the thai government say only for resident foreigners. I'm here already 20 months doing the same life than any of the people who is resident, yes I work (online), but I don't have a work permit, but I live here, and I can get the covid like any of you, I'm not a tourist who come here on holidays a couple of months. Of course that I will pay a one year visa when the covid extension end. But until that moment I live here like any resident farang, and about the thai government it's quite stupid to have thousand of tourist visas living here, and don't think that they have the same right to ve vaccinated. Actually we spend a lot of money in this country and we pay every 60 days 1900 bahts. So the government is interested in the money we spend here, but they don't think we can get the covid also, anyway they are idiots, so I'm not surprised.

jonga80 Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Finally I got Pfizer vaccine at Phyathai 3 Hospital. It was lucky to be chosen with the tourist visa. I'm quite surprised with the quality of the hospital, and also getting a not chinese vaccine. After trying a lot of times in many different places without luck, I was thinking to pay for Sinopharm. If someone want to try, this is the link, but now they close the booking system because they have limited vaccines: https://phyathai3hospital.com/home/pt3thailandintervac/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah? Not the attitude one nation should have when they are getting so much vaccines donated for free and getting their people overseas vaccinated for free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, regardless of visa, someone who is living almost 2 years in a country is not a tourist. Edited September 21, 2021 by jonga80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
