Don’t book while you are required to do one night SHA hotel with PCR. This is in effect a 24hr quarantine with the following possible scenario. 1 laboratories are unable to cope with new demand and take three days during which you have to extend your stay 2 the hotel gets your result but tells you it hasn’t to get you to stay another two days 3 the hotel is in cahoots with the laboratory and you test positive meaning fourteen days in the hotel 4 all extra days will not be at the booked rate likely +100% 5 in most cases your insurance will not pay for the hotel stay only medical treatment. ITS UP TO YOU. I suggest wait until this stupid one night requirement is removed. Most likely January

literally.............LITERALLY no one has done this yet but you are already the greatest partypooper of all time. I would hate to have your state of mind to be honest. Flying in two weeks and sending my regards from the beach.

you forgot to mention the other scenario (with a 99% probability) - you stay in the SHA+ hotel for 1 night, test negative, and continue with your holiday. everyone travelling internationally during a global pandemic has to accept some uncertainy - the much bigger risk is that the virus situation changes suddenly and you get stuck on the wrong side of new restrictions.

It's a holiday weekend in Thailand, embassy staff stick with the Thai calendar.

You checked your spam and all? London embassy was fantastic with me. Never failed to answer emails and I received COE within 2 hours. Good luck with your search.

I believe COE is valid for 15 days and supposed to be approved in 3 working days. That’d leave 12 days to prep for leaving.

COE is only valid for date of travel. You have 15 days from pre approval to complete the form and add all required documents.
