There is a lot of info here and i've been trying to keep track the best I can. 

My partner and I are planning on moving to BKK in August. What is it currently like to get visas etc sorted coming from the UK?

If it was too hard right now, we were going to stay in Bali for a few months for it to all blow over.

Thoughts, suggestions welcome.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires about the current situation regarding obtaining visas for moving to Bangkok from the UK, particularly during the pandemic. The author is considering moving in August but is open to staying in Bali if the visa situation is challenging. Community comments emphasize concerns about COVID-19 in both Thailand and Indonesia, the necessity of travel insurance, and seek clarification on the type of visa intended.
