placeholder Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I have a wealthy friend who's looking to come to Thailand for an extended stay. Is it possible for her to get vaccinated here if she has a tourist visa? She's thinking of applying for one of those extended tourist visas that have been promised. If the tourist visa isn't viable, what about one of those visas that can be acquired for a substantial sum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Maybe a paid option at a private hospital? https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/packages/moderna https://www.medparkhospital.com/en/page/moderna-vaccine-booking When is your friend arriving? How long are they staying? Where are they staying? Able to get a second dose in 4 weeks? More about timing and logistics I think. 6 minutes ago, placeholder said: what about one of those visas that can be acquired for a substantial sum? https://www.thailandelite.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Like many things, this is a fast moving target. At the current time, in selected provinces (including Bangkok) and if over age 40, your friend is very likely to be successful if signing up through the hospitals identified by https://www.thailandintervac.com/. It does not seem visa status is a factor. If under age 40, contacting hospitals directly may yield a successful outcome, but this is less certain.

phetphet Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 It might be a better idea for your wealthy friend to pay to get vaccinated in whichever country she is coming from. Vaccinations here are not recognised in some other countries and sometimes a choice is not given on which type of vaccine. If she is coming from a first world country she will probably have choice and less of a waiting list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still might be better for her to get vaccinated before arrival as it could reduce her quarantine time. As others have said, if she can afford it, the Elite Visa is the way to go. https://www.thailandelite.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultName Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm not aware that visa status plays any part here, I don't remember being asked about mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which country she is from? Why she wants to get vaccinated in Thailand? Why she can't get vaccinated in her home country? I have not heard of anybody coming to Thailand for getting vaccinated. It is possible in private hospitals but I would recommend coming next year. Edited October 7, 2021 by CartagenaWarlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
