What do I need to know about traveling from Bangkok to the UK on Finnair or Austrian Airlines, and how do I manage my Non-B visa requirements?

Hi all,

Few questions.

1) Has anyone traveled with either Finnair or Austrian airlines recently from BKK back to the UK? If so what was the experience like and will I need a PCR before boarding a plane with either one?

2) I am on a non-b so I know I'll need to get a multiple entry stamp from immigration - is this a fairly easy process? Never done it so looking for advice on that.

Also... my 90 day report is also due whilst I would be away but I was told by my HR that it starts again from day 1 when I land back in Thailand, that being the case should I have my TM30 with me to present to immigration?

3) Stupid question but just wondering if anyone who has left recently applied for the Thai pass before they left the Thailand itself - I'll only be in the UK for maybe 10-12 days max so wondering if it'd be best to just box it off before I leave Bangkok.

4) Does the SSO insurance cover foreign nationals for the return to Thailand - I know there was a big thing about this a while back but I cannot remember at all.

Kind of hoping the Thai Pass will be dissolved by then, allow me my wishful thinking.

Thanks for any help at all, much appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post seeks advice regarding travel from Bangkok to the UK with Finnair or Austrian Airlines, specifically concerning the need for a PCR test. It also addresses non-B visa holders needing a multiple entry stamp, handling 90-day reports when out of the country, applying for the Thai Pass while abroad, and whether SSO insurance covers foreign nationals returning to Thailand.

2) you can get your re-entry permit at the airport. It's after security but before immigration, tell security you need one so they can get someone to go there.

Your 90 day report starts over. Meaning you don't do anything when you get back, you do it again after you've been back in the country for 90 days.

3) you should be able to apply before you leave without any issues as long as you've booked everything required.

4) social security would meet the insurance requirement.
