I believe they do, but its a draw as to what they get for a hotel, some are getting basic hotels, and some are getting 5* luxury hotels. So they can take a chance on getting the 5* for free, or end up in a dive hotel. or pay for their own SQ and pick which hotel they want (note that most quarantine hotels give discounts for Thai Nationals)

exactly. some people have been worried that when they get their visa it has a valid date, but they think that the expiry date is the last date they can stay in Thailand. However it is actually the last day you have to enter thailand. the visa starts when you go through immigration at BKK.

Good luck on your travels. Thailand is beautiful, i'm loving it here. however it is very quiet!

Depends on the airline they’re flying with if they require it or not. Thailand doesn’t require Thai nationals to have a covid test to come home.

@Do***

if you plan to apply for a visa remember it is only valid for entry for 90 days from issue date. So if you plan to come late July you can’t apply now or it won’t be valid when you want to come!

How long do you want to stay? If you are from a country that can come visa exempt you can stay for 45 initial days with a 30 day extension (no charge for the visa exemption but 1900b for the extension)

Or get a tourist visa 60+30 days which cost aprox $50usd, plus 1900b for the 30 day extension.

Yes in order for the COE to be issued you need to have flight details.

You may want to contact the British embassy!

hmm interesting!

@Gar****

I don’t see why you would need it to extend any visa. I didn’t to extend my tr visa. And now I’m changing to an Ed visa and was not asked for it.

I can’t see why immigration would need it. They know you’ve completed quarantine as you are not in quarantine anymore and recently arrived.

Well the asq certificate means nothing. I have never been asked for mine. So I guess unless after quarantine you’re heading straight to the airport to fly to another city that has a mandatory quarantine then I’d say open the window/balcony the certificate does nothing for you!
