Leaving Thailand now and plan to enter after 1. dec.

Hummin · October 16, 2021

I got valid retirement visa, and wondering if anyone know what I would need or could face when returning after 1. Dec if everything goes as planned. My destination or home country is among those who is listed as low risk countries.

Got the yellow vaccine certificate, and approved eu vaccine passport as well based on the Thai certificate.

things go in good direction.

Re-entry permit, insurance for $100k.

Possibly make covid vax passport (yellow certificate)

All good, just updated my OP.

OP, you have a current extension based on retirement from a non O-A or non O?

Based on previous Non-immigrant OA visa.

I guess my original question is, do I need to get certificate of entry and the insurance? I have travel insurance and life insurance. I did not see any change of requirements yet except quarantine.

You will require covid insurance for period remaining on your current stump.

You will also require 400/40 health insurance.

You will need to obtain a reentry permit prior to exit. Can be done at immigration or airport.

As for COE that's changing (Thailand pass) and you would need to keep up with what's required at date of your return.

Can these be combined in one policy?

In principle, yes. However, either in the policy or a separate letter from the insurance company, there must be explicit confirmation that there is coverage of US$100,000+ for Covid-19. The Thai authorities are very picky about this.

BritTim has a Thai yellow certificate, but how and where did he manage to get an du approved vaccine pa sport based on the Thai one? I would be grateful for details about this, as I also intend going to Europe soon and returning beginning of December and although I have a yellow Thai vaccination certificate, I hear that I may face difficulties there with only the Thai yellow certificate, as in the EU one needs a so called green Pass. I am fully vaccinated with 2 x AZ.

As of now you still need COE. Thai Embassy in Washington inormed me yeterday.

some 2 posters wrote they were able to include their thai done vax into local vax certificate and hence into green pass. At local epidemiological authority and only in 1 day. That may differ from country to country or even from province/land to other ones.

Just to be safe, do fly to germany on pcr as a back up. Tell them that you are only transiting. As a reason for travel tell them you need european vax. To prove it do book date (probably Johnsson) on your country health application.

To play extra safe do ast in germany (for about e55) and move to your destination country on a green pass based on it. Some countries in europe require max 48h.

Also you can get german sim card and put number on entry application form when entering destination.

This number use when applying for thailandpass in december.

On returning possibly come to germany day or two earlier, do pcr and stay in hotel, to have some back up to your story.

There are some other countries in europe, which claim to be easier to enter - belgium, switzerland, austria. But they are not included on not quarantine list, as so far. Still, they can be included in december, even in november

What's the yellow fever vaccine book got to do with anything?

Normally this is only required for entering W African countries.

Not once been asked for it in the lat 2 years ( 4 entries ) or the previous 20 years of coming and going?

internationalism · October 17, 2021

it's not yellow fever.

It's a vax book, copied from the the previous design. But only for covid vax.

It's printed on a bright yellow paper, hence common name for it.

The official title is covid vax passport

Maybe it is mention already many times but is this not necessary for Non-O with retirement extension.

I go also in November and come back to LOS in December.

I have been vaccinated "twice" in Bangkok Hospital. I was given a piece Paper stating that I have been vaccinated twice. The question is this. Can I use this "Paper" as proof or I must get the Yellow Book to leave the country. If so, where and how can I get the Yellow Book. Your kind advice is much appreciated. Thanking you all in advance. Thank you.

No one on this board has any inside information as to what thai officials are going to keep or change so your guess is as good as anyone else’s..

you are asking the wrong audience…

Look on the booklet. It is not called a passport, is it?

internationalism · October 17, 2021

probably as not to confuse with certificates issued by each hospital in a different format, this one is uniformed and referred as passport. It doesn't have photo, qr, chip or watermarks, still called passport.
