Short answer no. Longer answer when 80% of the Kingdom are vaccinated. As the richest countries in the world are arguing about when they are going to be getting their vaccine delivered getting vaccines in Thailand will be a problem. The one saving grace is the Oxford vaccine is now being manufactured in Thailand. The facility won’t be up to full speed for a couple of months yet.

@TJ *****

yes.

@Russell *****

@Chris *****

is correct. 2 months before and 3 after 800k needs to be in your account. Balance can’t drop below 400k for the rest of the year.

I agree with Brandon on the first two points. On the third it is far to early to tell. It will depend where you are in the Kingdom.

@Duncan ******

I always suspected that the service would be much better. If I had an Elite visa (which I don't) I would expect my passport to be picked up from and deliver back to me in the same day. Two trips to an office and being without my passport for 4 days seems like a worse service that just going to immigration.

@Hugh *******

you laugh, but just give it time. That list of 100 might not even contain male and female.

@Niclas **********

I agree with you but at 400 Baht no one is being ripped off. All can be done from the comfort of your own home, no tolls, conjestion charge or parking fees to pay traveling to a doctor.

were your parents fans of Ken Dodd?

Maybe you are the famous Diddy Man.

@Nigel *********************

that is really good advice. In my experience Immigration have been very helpful. Go with a smile and an open mind and you will be fine.

@Richard *******

Further COVID extensions not guaranteed. I would say that it is likely but definitely not guaranteed.
