I flew out last Thursday.. currently sat in ASQ in Bangkok. You should look at what constitutes a legally permitted reason to fly..
Only an individual can determine whether they 'need' to fly or not. To whom would you ask permission? Read between the lines.. dont just be a sound board for politicians. Or do you enjoy being a slave?
I've sent them new flight and updated ASQ details this morning. Not sure when I'll get a new COE. I'll keep you posted. Not sure of their opening hours?
Anyhow, I'm not going to get into details. But take it from me, it is I very necessary trip. I intend to change visas and stay long term. Zoom just wont cut this I'm afraid. Only real human contact and love
