Bangkok Bank, Nana Branch

Yes at Bangkok Bank, needed an attested copy of my passport but took 15 mins and received book and card on Soi 4.

If you are married to a Thai or the parent to a Thai national you can apply for an entry permit via the consulate of your current country.

There are repatriation flights from certain countries which you do qualify for as per the requirement.

I live in Dubai and have received my permit to return to my wife and daughter.

I have been given a choice of dates based on repatriation flights.

I will need to isolate for 14 days in gov hotel but then I can enjoy time with my family.

There are ways and I know over 70 non Thai nationals returned to the Kingdom in the last few weeks from Dubai on repatriation flights.

@Anthony *******

exactly, just highlighting that my wife and daughter were both shunned because the local village were scared of Covid

My wife is Thai and returned to our home in Krabi from our place in Dubai with my 7yr old daughter,

For the first 3-4 weeks none of the Thai parents would let their children play with my Thai daughter because she had been living in Dubai!

It's not foreigners they are scared of, it's Covid!

@Tod ********

hi Tod, appreciate your knowledge on visa requirements. What are the reporting requirements for someone with a spouse visa? (If any)

The UAE extended ALL visas (residency/exempt/visit) until end of Dec! And trust me the UAE is a lot harder and far more expensive to get visa so this doesn't sound too bad.
