I agree, quiet and good weather and lowish Covid-19 levels

thanks Jane. Visa application seems to be going smoothly. I can try to ask them about the questions I asked the group for sure. I was thinking they might not be particularly helpful since my questions extend to immigration into Thailand and details of my stay in Thailand. But hopefully they can help.

thanks Jane. The one month expectation isn't something I'd come across. Do you know where I can research that requirement? Thank you

I can't be sure it's an up to date account because it's from 2019 but this article does mention hotels

@Jane **********

thank you for the really helpful input.

@Jane **********

having googled, I read that hotels are meant to do TM30s too. If so then that would open up the possibility of my first two weeks outside ASQ as being in a hotel I think?

@Madz *****

you said "to comply with forwarding addresses" which suggests you are familiar with the regulations. Can you enlighten me at all? My original post was looking for guidance on these. Thank you.

@Madz *****

fully sympathetic with Covid-19 concerns. I will test prior to flying and then twice in quarantine and am definitely Covid-19 free now so it's all one can do. But yes, planning ahead is a small concession in light of this terrible pandemic 😇

@Andrew ****

thanks Andrew. I do have some contacts in BKK so have a bit of a support system there.

I've gone through a lot of steps to get the OA application sorted and expect it to grant. Also booked flights.

So I'm hoping that folks who know more than me on the forum can help me understand the TM30, TM28, address on immigration form items.

It certainly isn't the easiest time to travel, I can agree with you there. A tourist visa is a back up plan as I mentioned.

My uncertainties revolve around the address reporting requirements and how to handle. If I can understand those better then I can make an informed decision.

I studied this forum today searching for the posts on the topic and didn't find quite the info I needed so started this topic.

Appreciate all and any help.
