Where can I find repatriation flight schedules for November?

Darren *******

Your local Thai Embassy is the best place to ask but I doubt they'd have scheduled November's flights yet

Check the departure boards for Suvarnabhumi as they'll show you which airlines are flying and which are cancelling right now

Can I ask for a COVID-19 asylum visa in Thailand instead of returning to Belgium?

Darren *******

I'm genuinely hoping he isn't and that he goes down to the immigration office and records the whole thing.

Will Thailand extend the amnesty for overstayed visas due to COVID-19?

Darren *******

personally I hope they keep the mandatory insurance, not necessarily for covid but general insurance to cover you. Should be mandatory worldwide in my opinion.

Can you obtain a non-immigrant B visa for business activities while outside Thailand?

Darren *******

@Patrick ***********

non-B can be applied for outside of Thailand. Not all embassies are processing them at this moment in time so

will need to check with his local embassy and/or employer in Thailand.

Can I change from a visa exemption to a Non-O visa while in Thailand?

Darren *******

first I've heard of it but I'm guessing if you can get that stamp then yes you should be able to switch in country.

Can I change from a visa exemption to a Non-O visa while in Thailand?

Darren *******

Presumably you're on the amnesty right now and not a visa exemption so I don't think that form applies to you.

What should I do to help my mom obtain a Non-O visa from India and understand the quarantine requirements?

Darren *******

Speak to Thai Embassy in India, whichever is closest to your mother. They'll advise her and provide a list of documents she'll need to provide in order to apply for a new visa and COE.

If she gets back to Thailand and has to do quarantine then it has to be done at an approved hotel, at her or your expense, and not at your place.

Do I need Covid insurance for the full year if my initial visa is only for 3 months in Thailand?

Darren *******

Ask the Thai Embassy for the list of documents, it seems to vary from embassy to embassy.

Do I need a round trip ticket to enter Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa?

Darren *******

Strictly speaking you need a flight out of Thailand, it's hit and miss as to whether you get asked to produce this upon entry.

That being said, who knows what rules will be in place when they let tourists back in.
