ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello Everyone,

Does someone have any information on any local Thai Consulates closing in their respective cities / countries?

Another question is that whether Thai Consulates have sped things up for the issuance of visas or is the same time?

The purpose of this post is to try and evaluate the overall situation with respect to the local Thai Consulate as Visas In my country are issued from local Thai Consulates. 

Panicking won't help and I am just seeking information and not panicking at all - maybe a relevant answer might help me speed up things at my end  - although everything is not under my control and it would take some time for the documentation to be completed but it still worth a shot maybe if some relevant information is provided.

Also, I did check the MFA site and they say that WHO has not imposed travel bans - which I am unsure of.

I have made up my mind already and the trip is happening :)

My tentative travelling date is 18th April.

1. For the Thai consulate closures, look at the announcement section of the group.

2. Every one should have insurance but the only one with the requirements is the Non-OA visa.

If a consultant closes down, there will be a big announcement here

You're going to get the non-b before you arrive? You should have no problem entering Thailand on a non-b visa
