ORIGINAL POSTERMy freind has just got his visa back from the Thai embassy in london so now he has to apply for COE but now we on lockdown and can not travel would there be any point to apply for COE ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether one should apply for a Certificate of Entry (COE) to Thailand during ongoing lockdown conditions. Despite lockdown measures, many comments suggest that flights are still operational and that having a visa and COE would allow for travel. Some users caution about quarantine measures upon arrival, particularly for UK passengers, while others express concerns about the potential risks of traveling now versus waiting for better conditions.

You can still come but the quarantine is different for UK. No yard time until after 2 clear covid tests / 14 days so in the room

It's been confirmed that UK passengers CAN still fly here after the rumours a few days ago.

Yes tell them no issue whatsoever. And they can travel really the rules do say no international holidays but how they can tell if it’s a holiday or not
Neil *********
And that’s if they tried to stop you which they won’t
James *******
I was just answering your question i.e. a tourist visa would indicate a holiday.
Jeff *********
@James ******
totally agree Why take the risk now Better to wait a couple of months I was in the process of applying for a TR before this lockdown but is it really worth the stress?I planned on going end of February but will wait until end of March Of course quarantine will no doubt still be in place but all should be otherwise fine by thenNeil *********
@James ******
ah ok sorry. Don’t worry it’s just a visa and the U.K. don’t check the visa only the Thai do. So just say you’re visiting ill family Reply to

If you have visa and CoE you can definately travel. No problem. See previous stories. It can be done!
Michael ********
Flights are still coming, i dont know how your lockdown affects travel to airport
Michael ********
Get Thai insurance
Jeff *********
@Michael *******
it is illegal to travel abroad from the UK at the moment except in extenuating circumstances Is it really worth the risk for tourism purposes? Plus any UK insurance would be null and void Better to wait at least until the end of February imo Anise *******
@Jeff ********
not illegal in exceptional circumstances........there is a difference as in not 'extenuating circumstances '.So depends on the reason.
Jeff *********
@Anise ******
extenuating or exceptional not a great deal of difference I agree in those circumstances it is fair enough if genuine My point being fir tourism is it worth the risk ATM I'd planned on early February but am now looking at early March fingers crossed Anise *******
@Jeff ********
I am planning to go February. Should have gone last June time but obviously been delayed. Supposed to be retired there :( Jeff *********
@Anise ******
I've missed 2 trips since a this began Good luck Anise things will get better Anise *******
@Jeff ********
I was lucky enough to have a short trip in January 2019.... managed to take some personal bits out.Reply to
