But only the first time you get 1y :-(

In June I had to go first extend visa for 1 year in person. Then next week go do 80 day report-- to show I'm still alive? LOL

It's usually better to ask your questions than ask "permission" or who to ask for your questions use the collective group to get answers.

12K they want just to open bangaccount, not worth it

My it's frustrating when so many banks say no.

Bangkok banks in Bangkok. You need a "proof of address", the easiest is to get that from your embassy. They also require that your passport is certified by the embassy.

You'll get full account, ATM card w visa debit built in. Done in 1h. Internet banking etc.

I tried other banks and branches and they were all impossible in silom/Sathorn area.

Banks in malls may be closed as of today....

This must be over of the most stupid decision. Because of the online system crater lake have been forced to hang around waiting for 6-10 hours to get the paper work done. With the appointment even 1 y extension took 15 minutes. I was so m early so they forced me to wait.Lol

Now about keep the old system working while binding a new one?

No more instead people willget exposed to hundreds of other people and have to linger in the vudings fort hours!

This doesn't feel good.

90 day report sissy never worked (to submit)

Reasonably, all covid related healthcare and quarantine costs should be paid by a self funded fund, which tourists pay into. The lettuce can go up of needed, but take care of everything.

The insurance doesn't cover anything unless you're sick and it's medically necessary.... This isn't. It's just a big bill for people who lost their vacation.

What is the cost of this compared to just bying vaccines? I guess in this case the money goes to local "pockets"....

Thailand had 2019 a total of 158,300 hospital beds. Are tese are all full, or the private hospitals are all empty? I've heard private hospitals dont' take (covid) patients.

It was trivial for me to get "resistence certificate" from the embassy. It's also closer than the immigration overflow centre.
