Are there Belgians having experience with the time to receive the CoE from the TH Embassy in Brussels ?

I deposited all docs and completed the total process on 14/12, but still no reply. My flight BRU DOH BKK is on 30/12

Should I call the TH ? please your suggestions.

Counter K this morning at MTT to get my 60 days extension. Arrived 840am, go up to 4th floor to get queue number. Seated in second room starting with no. 120. Collected my passport on other room at 10.35am. They seem to process fairly quickly and efficiently given the volume.

Hi everyone. I am asking advice from UK people here, particularly if u are in London, of any clinic to do the Covid test with guaranteed results in 24-48 hours and prices.

I saw a lot of posts with contradictory information regarding the validity of the 72 hours Covid test required to enter Thailand and I checked with my airline, Etihad. As I change over in Abu Dhabi, I was informed that the hours count from the sample taken and needs to be within 72 of the whole flight/flights. Even the second one of your change over. Now I also wonder if We need to literally arrive in Bangkok too within 72 hours from the sample or as long as u are boarding it will be okay. Anyone flew with Etihad can share with me their experience ? And clinics where I can get the results in time please ? Thank you 🙏🏼

Anyone know what this app is AOT are on about. I have used google cannot find

I just got my ED visa for hand 2 hand combat school in Vientiane, but it has this weird label and stamp. Does anyone know what it means?

Give me joy, shipmates. I have finally completed the Thai Elite (TE) process.

If you're considering doing this, please allow at least two months(!) to complete it. It was even more in my case because it turned out my bankers are Hoares and Fuggers. And I made the mistake of transferring to my Thai account before transferring to TE. Side note, this step also showed that the actual price is not necessarily just 500k.

Big up to those of you who helped with advice (advise?) and pointers along the way. Owe you a beer or two!

I am in a bit of a pickle time-wise. Currently awaiting final approval letter on EEA visa, it should arrive this week or early next one (already paid). However, my current extended TR visa is bound to end on 27.10, so I need to think of plan b).

I wanted to already book a flight to KL and back to Phuket on the same day, as the flight late next week is relatively cheap. Waiting until early next week can double the price probably.

If my approval comes in time, I will schedule EEA affixing for the Phuket entry, that would be plan a).

However if I don't, I wanted to attempt re-entry on exempt and figure out EEA affix later on. That said, same day re-entry via air feels potentially risky.

My visa history is just 3 months last year Nov-Jan (TR+extension+land bounce to get extra 2 days), and 3 months now on TR+extension.

Should I be afraid of getting denied, and should rather plan at least overnight stay in KL? Or perhaps the immigration officer could be more understandable considering I have almost approved EEA (already have approval letter with me)?

Or, traditionally, it's all luck based? 😂

So I lost my passport and my visa expires on 5 January as the uk is so backlogged will need to get an emergency passport, do I then need to get my visa stamped in it at the immigration office in Bangkok?

MTT is a mess. Best of luck to everyone

TM.30 self-file by EMS post to Chaeng Wattana - it took them almost 7 weeks to send back confirmation, but finally they did. So be patient folks :)

Actually it would make sense to have TM.30 self-file stands at the luggage collection section on the airports. Then we could do it easily when waiting for luggage.
