Shipmates. I'm currently on the last stay of an METV (validity ended in February) and admitted until May 11.

I'm switching to Elite. All is in order, but they cannot accommodate at Chaengwattana until May 25.

From my talks with Elite, due to the "amnesty", it seems I should just hang back and show up the 25th to make the transition.

While I feel fairly certain this is all kosher, I just wanted to ask if anyone would advise(<- correct, right(?)) differently.

Cheers!

Best place in Liverpool for RT PCR test which states it on the certificate / flying with Etihad

[ANSWERED (Thanks, all!)]

Hi, I am confused here. I have a flight to Bangkok tomorrow, and I am from Indonesia, which usually means I can go to Thailand for tourism as long as it is < 30 or 60 days. But suddenly there are these new ETA or Travel Authorization thing and I cannot find any clear news on whether I should apply for it or not.

All sources of information told me to check thaievisa.go.th and apply there, however there is only a visa application.

Thanks for helping, guys! I am panicking right now

DTAC submission is only done 3 or less days before arrival.

Is 3 days Thailand time or departure country time ??

Received my E S Entry visa today, and I stated an 89 day stay.

Only change from last year, they needed a selfie from my mobile, not one from a photo booth.

My DTV Visa Experience - EU Citizen applied from Malta via Athens, Greece

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my journey of applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as an EU citizen residing in Malta. I applied for the e-Visa through the Royal Thai Embassy in Athens, Greece, and here’s how it went:

Application Date: December 12, 2024

Documents Submitted:

* Biodata page of my Passport in PDF format.

* Passport Size Photo (taken within the last 6 months as required).

* Document indicating current location - I attached my Maltese residence permit, both front and back on one page.

* Financial evidence: A minimum of 500,000 THB. I transferred the necessary amount last month via Revolut, combining USD and EU accounts. My bank statement from December 1 to December 12 was submitted, no expenses were shown for those dates.

* Employment contract: My new contract from October was signed electronically and clearly states I can work "remotely from any location of their choice".

Process:

After submitting all documents on December 12, I kept checking the status which stayed at "processing document check" until today, December 20, 2024. Finally, I received an email stating my visa has been APPROVED! The best part? No follow-up documents were needed or requested by the embassy.

Tips:

* Make sure your financial documents clearly show that you have the required amount without any discrepancies.

* If you're using an electronic contract, ensure it’s clear and legible, and reflects remote work flexibility.

Good luck to everyone applying! Here's to new adventures in Thailand. Merry Christmas to all! 🎄

Feel free to ask if you have any questions or need further details 🙏

Iv ordered the randox pre departure pcr home test for flying from the the uk to phuket with a stopover in Abu Dhabi (etihad airways)

Does anyone know if this Randox test is accepted? It’s tested in a laboratory once you’ve sent the swab kit back to them?

Thank you

Hi everyone….Is it correct that you can submit your electronic arrival card declaration no more that 72 hours (3 days) before your estimated flight arrival time….?

That is the estimated arrival time on your air ticket..?

So if you arrive at 10 am on a Wednesday …..for example….you can submit it only after 10 am on the Sunday…?

Sundays are ok..?

And can you not do it earlier than that…?

I have not been keeping up to date with changes to Thailand entry... do you need any kind of electronic authorization right now, or can you enter with just a passport?
