You are not eligible for an O-X visa , you are too young and your kids are of course not … you might need to change the language of your question . 8 months is not a long term visa - it’s 2 renewals , get an o visa in normal times and there’s one visa run in your future … but !! It’s covid , red zones are growing , travel is restricted , and you will need to have covid insurance and quarantine hotels lined up …the rules change as the situation worsens .

Do you plan to enter sandbox or through the normal channels ? Have you contacted the Thai embassy in your homeland country ? Do you have the funds to be stuck in Thailand for a year if you are closed in ? Or when exiting having to quarantine in your home country ? There’s no visa runs so three months and then figuring out how yo get covid extensions - or are those no longer available to new arrivals ? Is your options .. someone will correct my misinformation and smother theirs … good luck

There are a number of ways to stay long in Thailand , depending on the complications you wish to endure - obviously getting work visa , enrolling kids in school is

@Dennis *******

is it wise to advertise a place so it gets fined ?

You have to get the birth certificate with your name as father , translated and notarized, the family house papers with the babies Name on it translated as well ... and go to embassy it’s easy - it took us no time at all , you then

Must set up your child to be Thai and have them do all the Thai paperwork - half kids , struggled getting Thai identity together later in life ...

Are you not banned for life from Thailand ? That would show up at any port you attempt to enter the kingdom - if you arrive you would need stay inside international portion of airport and not attempt to enter - you would be turned around and made to take next plane you could book ... in theory , I saw a couple Persian kids live in airports for over a year while they draft dodged and sought asylum - I’m not sure your situation can be remedied with out a thai lawyer ? Am I

Mistaken about your having been deported from Thailand before ?

Why is he not doing this for himself and has he ever been to

Thailand ? If he needs help just asking this question than he won’t last long in the kingdom ...

This from a white guy ..

Medical Tourism is existing and a niche of tourism the thais encourage ...

You need to find an insurance company that will give you the basics for covid requirements... there’s endless threads on what’s best from

Whom and where ... your American Express card will also cover some things as will your travel insurance that you take for flights hotels etc ... but you have a thing that is unknown - knee surgery? Sex change ? Implants ? Heart surgery etc all depends and there is a waiting period you can’t just show up

And expect the insurance to pay for or existing ... so there’s a bit of a con needed ... you have choose man a dr ? A hospital? While things can be cheaper they can be same or more than elsewhere ... there’s lots of old conversations about tiers and which hospitals are more receptive than others ...

This document in the royal gazette defines tiers of farang types and Thai costs ... I’m sure there are updates to it but it gives you an idea that one cost you hear may not be your cost ... and that not all

Things you imagine to be covered are actually... with good homework you should be able to navigate The complexity of health care in Thailand ...

It’s not official - there’s no mention in the royal gazette - that’s the only source of information that is factual .

The royal gazette has not published anything re this ... there’s a number of options being floated in press and other forums about what would be required - proof of vaccines within 3 month period etc - some parts of the us you can’t travel anywhere from - uk can’t travel at all etc ... watch for the publication of the new rules ...regional

Quartine , stay length of ASQ , types of health certificates acceptable etc ...

It’s not a bad idea - it allows them to track virus outbreaks and isolate quickly - they can walk back the spreader and isolate when called for ... the mixture of this and virus Passports will help keep the kingdom Safe and open up some sectors quickly ...we are guests of the king and should do as our hosts ask ... seems simple , bitching about it seems entitled and out of touch with Thailand and it’s fundamentally cooperative sangha nature and structure ... if one does not like the rules one doesn’t need to stay and complain - there are other places to visit ...
