it’s much simpler to transfer visa rather than short of passport time when applying for a new 1 year thai visa.

get new passport first.

then transfer thai visa.

with covids, make sure to add extra timeline for passport applications.

600,000 baht for the first 5 years, then pay 400,000 to extend to 20 years.

remember to retake the covid test again before the new flight. in english or thai language.

should be able to fly the following week.

call the embassy, then reapply COE

search online you can get 1 year sim data for about 2000-3000 baht for the whole year.

attitude matters.

@Ben ******

christmas island. i heard they are planning. but not officially.

i am in singapore at the moment. i can’t enter thailand at that time. they virtually block all foreigners trying to enter thailand.

singapore has been generous extending my visa till now, i sense it’s generosity in extending my visa is ending soon. so back to AU. to wait out until the day thailand reopens and AU governments lifted the BANS on travelling. then i can retrieve my belongings. and to consider my options. on whether to stay or not in thailand.
