I have but I originated in a different city in Saudi, not outside the country. Bags were always checked all the way through.

If you haven’t transited a Saudi airport before you’re in for a real treat Garrett 😂. I spent 3.5 years there and now I would gladly pay double to avoid them and their airlines.

How can I get my medication prescribed and filled in Thailand as an expat?

Steve **********

You’d be surprised what you can get by just asking at a pharmacy. I’d bet you can get it easy. Things that would require doctor visits in the US we get here by walking in a pharmacy and showing a photo of what we need.

Do I need to re-register my address upon returning to Thailand after traveling abroad?

Steve **********

@Brandon ***********

appreciate it. My one friend that told me the answer was “no” said that he went to Jomtien to re-register and they asked him why he was there it’s the same address. But I will definitely follow your advice and ask them in person. Thank you.

What are the latest updates on Thailand's entry requirements and visa regulations regarding COVID-19?

@Ca**

the one I booked does a refund minus 500 baht processing fee. Make sure you check. You probably will get it.

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

Steve **********

@An**

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 **********

@Ph**

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.
