Will I need to restart the Test & Go process upon re-entering Thailand after visiting Laos?

Steve **********

the only way to get back in is Thai pass. If you leave for a minute it’s the same process all over again. But you can apply and get approved before you even leave.

Will the elimination of Thai Pass and Test & Go also remove the health insurance requirement for travelers to Thailand?

Steve **********

Seeing as no one wants to answer but just give you their take on personal choices, I’ll answer.

If they scrap test and go the covid insurance will certainly go as well.

As far as I know the only visa that requires actual health insurance is Non OA and that was the case pre-covid.

Is the retirement visa in Thailand renewed annually, and what are the requirements for permanent residency or citizenship?

Steve **********

In order to get permanent residency I believe you must be married, speak, read and write Thai and other additional requirements. Also, (again I believe) there are additional requirements and an extremely low “quota” of people allowed to be accepted.

Are PCR tests still available at Suvarnabhumi Airport for travelers?

Steve **********

that’s right. I think it was calendar day before or something like that. Luckily for her the flight was late night. She went that afternoon to a clinic. 20 minutes later she’s all good with a negative test and certificate.

Steve **********

Just fyi… unless your transit country or airline requires it a PCR is not required. It’s only ATK. My wife flew recently BKK, to Doha and on to DFW and only needed ATK within 24 hours. A lot cheaper and faster.

How long should my insurance cover be for the Thailand Pass while on an ED visa in Thailand?

Steve **********

Please let me know how this works out. I have a Non O visa and full insurance. However my insurance does not do specific letters to say they cover covid. I am going to the states soon for a month and I really don’t want to buy 8-9 months of insurance (until the expiration of my extension) I’d never use.

What do I need to get a residency letter from immigration to open a Bangkok Bank account?

Steve **********

yeah, and the worst part was the lady doing it was literally doing nothing when I walked in.

When I returned an hour later to give her the 1000 baht she was still doing nothing.

As you would expect it’s just a form letter where they fill in the details of an individual. Might take all of a minute or two to do.
