I agree, everything can be done in an afternoon with a laptop and ample supply of coffee.

No pomplem.

@Bobby *******

Yes, really should have been changed to 38 days.

COE's are proceeding as normal. What you attach to the COE dictates your ASQ length. I.e. if you are vaccinated with an approved vaccine, you'll get seven days. If you are not, you'll get ten. Do you know if you're vaccinated or not?

@Bill ********

It's only special if you pick the right one 😁

@William ******

Since you have to submit it as part of your COE, and your embassy vets everything, the answer is yes.

Think of it from their perspective. They are seeing money going to a third party and you are claiming it's yours. And you wonder why they won't accept it?

@Benjamin *****

The Post version said the Cabinet approved it, but yes even that doesn't make it official.

"The cabinet resolved on Tuesday to extend the Special Tourist Visa (STV) programme for one year until Sept 30 next year to woo well-to-do visitors.

Deputy government spokesperson Traisuree Taisaranakul said the cabinet approved the proposal from the Tourism and Sports Ministry to extend the special visa programme for visitors' long stays from its original end this Thursday."
