Has anyone in the last 2 days had an ATK/RAT at Suvarnabhumi, prior flying out? Was there a queue and what was the waiting time for result? Thanks

Under the Everything Else category.

I need a letter delivered to Ireland in a couple of days. Asking on the off chance someone in Phuket is returning to Ireland and could post it for me. PM me if you are.

Just been to MTT immigration for my 90 day report. 10 mins queue to get an number, then 5 minutes queue to see a officer. The officer didn’t even check my paperwork, just asked if I reported last time online and then gave me receipt of report and sent me on my way.

Edit: judging by the way they asked regarding online reporting and how easy they processed me when I told them I’d completed my last report in December online I’d be very surprised if the online system is up anytime soon, I hope I’m wrong.

hi group!

anyone have a recent experience applying for the Tourist e-visa? My intended date of departure is end of this month and im seeing up to 15 business days turnaround on the embassy website. Search results on this topic are from back in November but say its usually much quicker.

Thx in advance!

E Visa for Thailand :O Coming to a consulate near you ;)

Arrived in Phuket under the Sandbox today (the 2nd PCR will be refunded).

Flew from LHR to Phuket via Doha with Qatar. A380 seemed pretty full, although paying for an exit isle seat in economy gives unlimited legroom. I am sure there was a plane change to an A330 on the 2nd leg (I haven't looked yet) but as I had an empty seat next to me (seemed 80% full) it was fine.

I had a 2 hour 20 minute layover, and as the LHR flight took off an hour late there was no issue. Doha seemed a bit chaotic but no actual issues.

Phuket Airport was a very well organised military operation, and I was in and out in around 30 mins, although we seemed to be the only flight in town.

The driving style of my driver was interesting, and as we know 'lane discipline' doesn't translate into Thai.

Many thank to everyone on here (Stuart and James Miller to name two). Waiting for my PCR result now, so who knows.

Stay safe everyone🇺🇦

MTT today at 8:40AM for my 8th Covid Extension. No line to get documents checked and was seen by an Officer right away. The very first thing she asked was, "When are you leaving?" As a precaution, yesterday I booked a flight out for the end of March and brought that itinerary with me. 1700B flight to Singapore. I said, "I have a flight out." She said, "Show me." Then, "Why date so far away, why not now?" I didn't say anything and she quickly said, "Last one. No more." And she started processing it. Out at 9:10AM.

Wanted to share my experience today at MTT as I used a US Embassy letter to apply for the 30 day extension. Arrived a bit late for my 1pm appointment due to taxi driver not being able to find the facility (luckily I was able to use the pin from an earlier post to navigate, otherwise I might still be driving around). Personnel at the front check in were very helpful and directed me upstairs to the parking deck waiting area. In contrast the attendant there was flustered and would only direct me to take a seat and wait but was unable to tell me if I could check in anywhere for my online appointment.

Waited about 45 minutes until my turn came and presented;

-passport

-photo

-copy of passport info page

-copy of arrival card

-copy of arrival stamp page

-two filled out forms that I received there (gave my particulars, acknowledged the penalties for overstay, and a brief reason for my extension request)

All papers were checked, stapled together, returned to me and I was given a number to take to the office downstairs.

Waited downstairs for about 20 minutes then my papers were checked again and I paid 1900 baht. Directed to a third window where after another 10-15 minutes I received my passport back and saw the below stamp telling me I was under consideration for the extension and that I should return on the 16th of October. The last attendant was very helpful but did not speak English, though I managed to gather that I should make an online appointment and return any day around the 16th but no later than the 18th. Sounded strange but I left telling him I would be back on the 16th as stamped.

Thanks to everyone in this group, all the information here made a confusing situation easy to navigate.
