@Joe **********

plus another 14 day quarantine is required at “home” on top of that (I don’t have a residence in Canada and can’t stay with family)

Derek *******

thank you, maybe I could have phrased my question better, as I've heard that they're giving the extension to many people, even though practically anybody can get home these days (albeit some require quarantine). In practice, maybe it's only Australians who can't go back yet(?)

What are the job prospects for senior foreign professionals in Thailand during the pandemic?

Derek *******

Lots of Thai job ads in LinkedIn specifically say only for people under 35 (or 30), unfortunately for us. Even if it’s for a senior position, it will often say Thai only too (or at least must be fluent in Thai).

What should I do if I need to change my outbound flight after entering Thailand with a TM6 card?

Derek *******

Thanks. I just realised that a few minutes ago, I was looking at the card and wondered why I shouldn't just get a new one, but I saw the serial number on the bottom and thought it "ties in" with the arrival card, as you say.

What should I do if I need to change my outbound flight after entering Thailand with a TM6 card?

Derek *******

thanks. I think I've left it empty on prior trips but I guess during this time of strict travel, I probably thought it was safest to fill in everything. Should've left it empty until departure date.

@Michael ******

thanks, was wondering if they are strict about you being on the right flight when leaving. I guess the most important thing is that you leave when you say you leave!

Will having a different hotel address on my Luma covid health insurance affect my entry into Thailand?

Derek *******

We (my gf and I) arrived with different insurance policies (AXA and Luma) and both had the wrong ASQ hotel but nobody asked about it and it wasn’t a problem. This was early April. We didn’t even have the address of our AirBnB (after ASQ) written on any papers but I managed to find it on my phone when they asked at the airport.
