Hello, and please forgive me in advance if this sort of question has already been asked! I'm a US citizen, and before COVID-19 happened, I was planning to relocate to Thailand in May 2020 on a one year multiple visa entry to start with. I cannot seem to get any information from the Thai Consulate in NYC regarding when visas will be processed or even available for processing. Can anyone please guide me regarding what is needed for a one year multiple visa entry, and how do I go about getting the ball rolling? I am also planning on relocating with a cat. I've heard that any foreigners coming into Thailand have a mandatory quarantine in a Thai sanctioned quarantine center. At this point, I would like to be in Thailand by August 1st, but I'm worried about buying a ticket, as I'm afraid I won't be allowed in. Any feedback or input regarding the above mentioned will be greatly appreciated , as I see that this is a great page for accurate information. Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A US citizen inquiring about a one-year multiple entry visa to Thailand is advised that there is no such visa available, only a six-month multiple entry tourist visa. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the borders are closed for foreigners, and it's recommended to wait until travel restrictions are lifted and visa processing resumes. Additionally, there are concerns regarding bringing pets into Thailand, with recommendations against it, and travelers should be cautious of mandatory quarantine requirements upon arrival.
