Hi guys,
Few questions. I've tried to get my head around all this independently but I'm getting confused so have come to the experts!
My brother is hoping to come mid-February for 6 weeks until the end of March. Visa on arrival allows 30 days but the would be more like 45/6. What's the best visa to get? Can he get an extension while here?
As I understand it he'll have to book into a SHA hotel for the first and 5th(?) night for tests under the new test and go scheme. I'm guessing these will both have to be in BKK (as that's where I live and where he'll be arriving).
Also, the new test and go starts February 1st right? At the moment this can't be selected on the web page.
Thanks in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A person inquired about the best visa option for their brother who plans to stay in Thailand for 6 weeks, as a visa on arrival only allows for 30 days. It was clarified that he can enter on a 30-day visa exempt stamp and extend it by another 30 days at immigration for 1900 baht. As for the new Test and Go scheme starting on February 1, the brother must book SHA Extra Plus hotels in Bangkok for days 1 and 5, with Covid tests included. Discussions also touched on the possibility of day 5 testing in other locations, which may depend on hotel availability.
