I am about to apply for non O-A, just waiting for the last document. As I want to fly out of Sweden in November. Anytime in November actually, sooner better, I would like to apply for CoE at the same time. Does anyone have any experience with this?  

Another question is about flights. I have been struggling to get refunds this year, and finally I have, so buying a new ticket is with mixed feelings. From what I understand, airlines like Qatar, are allowed to fly from Stockholm, Doha, Bangkok at this time. Also unlimited rebooking for free. Because I do need a ticket for the application, right?? For the OA and CoE.   

So, the question: Do you know if the planes actually take off or just smoke screens like the rest of 2020. AND from handing in the application do you think 2 weeks is enough to handle both applications? 

I try to get in touch with embassy, but almost impossible. I have given up on STV as the Thai Longstay Company is not answering any e-mail, phone or text messages anymore.

Any advice, please?

We had to apply in person at the RTE Bern. I could give in the papers for the COE at the same time.The lady will put in the copy for the visa and we will get the COE by mail about 3 days before flying. Concerning flights, Lufthansa, Swiss,Austrian,KLM are flying from Europe and some more. Perhaps have a look flying through Germany or Switzerland. Just keep the 72 hours in mind for the covid test and fit to fly certificate - no long stop overs

Qatar has probably been the most reliable of all the airlines over the last few months.

Thanks guys. I might try and apply for both. Embassy is actually open for visits, even they don't reply e-mail and phones that fast and easy. Can just bring it and be ready I guess. COE est 14 days?? Is that reasonable?
