TLDR : Answer Summary
The Certificate of Entry (COE) application process in Thailand is free to apply for. In the event of a COE rejection, the implications for your expenses can vary. Hotels may offer refunds ranging from 80-90% or may allow you to change your booking dates with or without fees. However, airline tickets typically follow a more strict cancellation policy and may not offer refunds solely based on a rejected COE, unless there is a more substantial reason. It’s advisable to check with your airline regarding their specific policies and potential for free changes.

Time for COE registration and COE certificate vary according to embassy.

I am in kenya and they were incredibly fast. Hours not days.

The airlines will allow free postponement if you fail test.

Most hotels on ASQ will also allow rebooking.

No one wants to willingly refund.

I think qatar was allowing free changes.

Best check with airlines before booking.

Some hotel can refund 80-90%. Some hotel only can change the date with or without fees if COE rejected.

Air ticket depends on the cancelation policy. But normally they won’t refund just because COE get rejected, Need a better reason.
