I suspect so however I'm afraid that the hotel may try to extra an extra 6 days from me on arrival. I'm going to try for the Thailand Pass too first thing in the morning.

TorquayFan Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Salerno - I had the same problem as Eddie with 7 days AQ being quoted - I agree with you - it's been missed on the update. ONE day's ASQ it is, hopefully ! Thanks. Eddie - FWIW I'm sure it'll be OK. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-approval on Thursday 28th. COE issued 29th October by RTE London. HOWEVER: My COE states: "Period of Quarantine: No less than 7 days eligible to enter Thailand on the following scheme; (1) Exemption from Quarantine (after receiving negative RT-PCR test result) or (2) Sandbox Programme." I submitted SHA+/AQ Hotel booking for only 1 day and that was approved. A friend received his COE on 30th October and his simply says; " Period of Quarantine: Exemption from Quarantine (after receiving negative RT-PCR test result). I'm alarmed by the bit that say's "No less than 7 days" period of quarantine. I have emailed the embassy. Thoughts anyone? All you have to do is revisit the link you received via email (the link where you accessed your approved COE) and you will find a revised COE certificate, i.e., one which reflects the changes in quarantine requirements, available for download. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If neither of those come through then at least I'll be in Thailand and hopefully sense will prevail for only 1 night in the SHA+/AQ hotel. Good luck too TorquayFan! I was born in Torquay, Devon, UK is that where you are or Torquay in Canada or Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange - my revised certificate was available about 24 hrs after my COE was approved. It still says “not less than 7 days,” but there’s some additional fine print following that sentence that says “eligible for quarantine-free entry,” etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it should eligible for quarantine free entry but we all know how some Thais might interpret things when it suits them i.e. an extra 6 nights in the SHA+/AQ hotel and the associated revenue it would bring.

TorquayFan Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Soi Eddie - born in London but spent many years in Newton Abbot (in Wilts atm) - I still follow TUFC - and the mighty Swatcats in Thailand - Nakhon Ratchasima FC ! ATB Re the 1 day / 7 day wording - a 1 day booking for ASQ was accepted to obtain the CoE so I'd guess that's it - we'll see later ! Both links show the same wording - no revision.

And I'm very happy to say you were right in saying - "I think you will get the COE early next week in plenty of time to board you flight." Happily my torment was ended with a 'CoE' approval 23.55 last night ! Uakari - I wish you similar - I'm on Finnair on the 4th - you ? We’re you accepted at Suvarnaphumi for a one night quarantine?

Pretty sure you can ignore the "no less than 7 days" sentence now. A soon as the quarantine-free (i.e., one night) entry was approved, my ASQ hotel contacted me with the details of my refund (my original booking was for seven days.) They've already advised me re: my anticipated checkout date/time (pending negative PCR test result) and have arranged ground transportation for me from hotel to my residence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
