Do I need a new COE if I change my departure city for a flight to Thailand while keeping my final destination the same?

I have COE, visa etc. My internal flight within Australia has been cancelled and currently I cannot enter Victoria where my flights to Thailand begin. If I change my origin flight from Perth to Sing rather than Melbourne to Sing, but maintain the Sing to BKK flight, would I need to have a new COE issued? Dates would remain the same. Any ideas?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that a new Certificate of Entry (COE) would be required if you change the origin of your flight to Singapore from Perth instead of Melbourne, as the COE lists all international flights taken before arriving in Bangkok. It is advised to inform the embassy of any changes and ensure that the flight details on the COE are accurate to avoid complications during travel.

As long as entry date on COE does not change

Im pretty sure you can only transit through Singapore if you are travelling on one ticket, check this.

Thanks. Yes, it is a single booking with Singapore Air for Mel-Sin-Bkk. I had a separate booking for domestic flight Per-Mel. If I cannot get to Mel, then I need to adapt to Per-Sin-Bkk.

It’ll depend on what flights are listed on your COE! Is your internal flight listed? But most likely yes since the flight to sing would be listed on your COE.

Thank you everyone. Absolutely I will avoid risks and advise the embassy of the changes to the original internal flight. Better safe than sorry. So grateful your advice is consistent and obvious.

The info on the COE changes therefore get a new one. I had quick turnaround for COE. Little errors on COE, like wrong date for arrival at Tokyo connecting point, were tolerated at transit checkin at Tokyo but if important info was wrong they might not tolerate it. I would not risk it. I would obsessively check accuracy and acceptability of documents and assemble them into a bundle with an index on the front. I saw several people in Tokyo delayed sorting through a messy bundle of documents.

100% yes

Yes I would

As Survanabhumi and ASQ asked me for both my boarding passes from Sydney to BKK stopping at Singapore

I think so.

I think your COE lists all your international flights, from exit to BKK. In case contact tracing is needed.
