Ditto what everyone said. But as far as TriCare goes there is no verbiage in the statement of benefits that specifically says “Covid 19” coverage or whatever you want to call it.

I thought I remember that when they were asking for returnees to have coverage it had to specifically state Covid coverage.

So looking in the magic 8 ball IF they require the same thing down the road you’ll probably need some sort of external policy specifically for Covid.

But if you are already in Thailand you do not need anything regarding employment. I have a “marriage” visa and do not have a job.

Bold move. Hope you bought refundable tickets. I’d bet a lot of money the ban is extended. But I don’t know shit and am just guessing.

Maybe it is best for me that I did my first extension this year and had to do all of that for the first time. But also had to show divorce decrees as well. Didn’t seem that difficult to be honest.

If you cannot find a hotel check AirBnB. They are still booking and CHEAP. We are in Ubon and planned a 1 June departure for Pattaya. Got a condo for $13 USD per night. There was one for $9 but wasn’t open for the full dates we wanted.

I did mine via Thai post. That was with the US Embassy in BKK. Not sure where you are from but if a yank it’s really easy. I did it all from the village and it took less than 2 weeks from when it left my hand until I had it back here.

@Pa**

sale prices too! Good time to buy for sure.

Probably the only benefit of “village life”. No issues here now or before.

Good advice above but what I would add is be sure to ask the immigration you will work with directly. I have seen that the Jomtien office requires things that the Ubon office does not. Best advice possible is go in and ask them directly what they require.
