Well i bit the bullet and processed my application, after ringing them this morning spot on 9am when embassy opened, they had 78 callers before me.ring up Hull and they are constantly engaged.
supposed to be making process easier, hmm we'll see totally irrelevant questions on the form, must have many minds boggled.
There was actually an update to the site today.
ประกาศ / Announcement
wait until the Thailand pass gets rolled out.
There emails are coming back saying we may take 3-5 days to respond, god help anyone that has to get back in an emergency.
Luckily enough once there, I'm staying
I know exactly how you feel.
We went through the same process last spring when they reduced the quarantine from 14 to 7 , we booked a flight for May 6th and a few days before flying they changed it back to 14 days quarantine again if arriving after the 6th
We would have arrived six hours after the delaine LOL
So we changed our flight and got in just under the deadline , but it was stressful.
So given the uncertain covid circumstances it is good to have a flexible flight plans.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
Wise move mate. Contrary to the nonsense headlines claiming Thailand is open for business 1 Nov, it clearly is not. The only real change is the length of quarantine.
A practical opening will be when you can come on visa on arrival, with a jab cert and negative test. Until then don't expect tourists to go through this convoluted bs process.
With luck 4th quarter 2022.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect,"
I for one have fkin done my dash.
People who've already got COE's for after Nov 1st have been able to update theirs which now show they need the one day AQ booking. They can now get refunds for their ASQ.
Of course I also read of some bunch of cuntos in Phuket that said they can't refund the SHA booking because "their system doesn't support it".
The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth
Could be or not.
