From : [members only] - are the references to 'both' (applicant & spouse) having either the minimum 40,000 income, or having the 400,000 balance correct now ? And is the reference to a '3 month' seasoning of the financial levels correct/ in current use ? Thanks.

I've noticed on the new TDAC form that starts on the 1st May 2025 there is a question asking about 'yellow fever' vaccination certificate.

There is an asterisk sign (*) which means that question MUST be answered.

What I need to know is: if you answer 'NO' meaning you don't have a yellow fever vaccination does the next question go away?!

The next question is the date of the vaccination, which also has an asterisk (*)

I'm guessing we won't know until this procedure starts on May 1st.

My question relates if travelling from the UK England

Hello, I’m currently in Thailand with a 60 days exemption visa and would like to travel to a border country (Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam) to apply for a SETV from a Thai embassy. Is it possible even if I’m not a resident of these countries and just a tourist ?

Ok. So as you all know immigration offices are closed until Thursday 17th. For many offices they will be absolutely chaotic on Thursday. If you can avoid going to immigration on that day then please do so.

If your entry stamp or extension finishes between now and then, then go on the 17th and be prepared to wait for a long time. You won’t be fined because of closure but will get an overstay stamp.

Friday will probably be crazy too because of the fallout of the 5 day closure.

Going to immigration early is usually a good idea for most extensions but this week if you really don’t need to go then just don’t.

If your extension or entry stamp is after the 20th then just do everyone a favour and avoid immigration.

I have no idea on the policies for all the immigration offices, but you may well find that some will turn you away if you don’t need immediate services.
