New Rules…

Let me get this straight.... after reading many articles on the lack of tourist they're once again changed the rules...... so, if I come to Thailand on the standard 60-day visa and then extended 30 days and during that time, I spend $8,000/$10,000 enjoying myself and at the same time contributing to Thailand's tourism industry........ and then I decide I'd like to spend another 60 or 90 days having a great time and contributing even more $$$ to the local area and I will be refused?

Ummmm .........

Looks like a visa exempt crackdown is under way

According to the article posted by my immigration office visa exempt entries are to be restricted to 2 at all borders, land and air. Extensions are no longer guaranteed either.

So apparently according to the Bangkok Post, Russian citizens are now getting 3 months visa exempt? Only Russians? What about other nationalities?

People are saying to tourists stay away???the less tourists that come the more thai bhat goes up in exchange rate

Ok we opened long enough let’s shutdown again☹️

Doesnt bode well for region if Thailand follows its neighbours

This recent article below reflecting the viewpoint of a senior Thai Immigration Official paints a dismal picture of foreigners coming to Thailand after July 1 in numbers beyond a few hundred returning Work Permit holders and Spouses of Thai citizens, Diplomats and other odds and ends people who want to deal with the obstacles. It seems the Covid-19 Health Certificate with Negative Test will remain along with the $100,000 Covid Health Insurance. This isn't a big surprise. But the discussion here of a Vaccine having to be available before a return to normality is daunting as a release date of any Vaccine is anybody's guess. Please read and provide feedback.

And for those of you who want to attack me - the messenger - then Don't.
