Pressure upselling.

To be honest...info about Thailand is STILL a black hole of bad information. But thanks to

@T**

and all the other helpful mods here, there is a ray of light to shine the path through the messy labyrinth of the immigration rules. Thanks again to all of you! 🙏

Everything will be as is? What changes might we expect?

Go for it. The ones who are denied are usually not on a tourist visa. You should be fine.

No land crossings open at the moment.

@Brian ******

Because if they are DECIDING on the 15th, that doesn't mean you can enter on the 15th. So technically, they should have said "starting to issue visas on the 15th.".

I know the lady you are referring to. She's stern, but fair. The advice that this is your last one, while delivered intimidatingly, is correct. Because the current order for the covid program ends on 25-March(unless a new order is given to further extend the program), then this is indeed your last one because you would not be able to get another one if the program isn't extended. Assume it's your last, but keep up with the news in this group. If the program is extended once more, this group will be one of the first places you will hear about it.

@Duncan ******

That's a news site masquerading as an official government page. Besides, " Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam urged the ministry to promptly finalize and make public a plan for resumption of tourism and provide detailed instructions for localities to implement the plan." does not mean they have actually performed what was being urged. ;)

Open for sure: Cambodia, Singapore, Philippines

Open with limitations: Laos (only through approved travel agency), Malaysia (only to Langkawi through approved travel agency)

In the process of getting their shit together so they can open(e.g. don't count on these without a PLAN B): Vietnam, Indonesia
