Do you mean an actual visa that lasts for 1 year, not extensions of stay? Would that be a multiple entry visa then, that you can enter for up to 90 days on each time?

after seeing people say they didnt need it, I think why they made me do it was because of how I filled out the form. I just came from Phuket sandbox so I wrote that down where it asked if I had traveled anywhere in the last 14 days

@Sam *****

Yes, had to wait in the short queue for a nurse to come do the swab and then wait for the result which you take to the person at the door to get in. Whole process took maybe 10 - 15 minutes

I went today and had to take an ATK at the door for free

Yes mine was approved ~8 hours ago

I'm not sure what the relevancy of covid tests are, but I'm just saying when you give the hotel your arrival date, they will schedule your quarantine time based on that, even if you arrive late on that day as was the case for me

My plane arrived just after 11pm. I made it through immigration before midnight but was not at the hotel until after midnight. They still counted that as my day 0. I have seen other reports of this same timeline as well. Even with possible delays, the timelines are already set out for your quarantine days at the hotel ahead of time so I don't believe they would change it

@Ezmerelda *******

no, that's still on the list

@Hammy *******

which embassy? I've called Chicago and he confirmed you no longer need it

@Sean ***

this is also on all of the websites for Thai embassies in USA. I called Chicago as well to confirm
