Is the COVID-19 vaccine necessary for traveling to Thailand from North Macedonia?

@Nick ******
 nah...humor is funny. This is bullying. Look it up. I'm guessing you and Andrew think you are the only ones who noticed the spelling error? Somehow, the rest of us managed to ignore it, realizing that degrading someone, so we could personally have a laugh is, in fact, bullying.

 no need at all. It was RIDICULOUS that people couldn't simply politely answer your question.

What is the Covid vaccine process and what documents do we need to get vaccinated in Thailand?
Ruth *******
This is precisely why I'm not returning until I'm vaccinated :-(. I doubt I could get vaccinated for quite some time in Thailand

@Dan *******
 to prove the 60,000 a month (or even a balance sheet), they’d need bank account info, no? I’d prefer not to be sending that to anyone.

 but you learn the language of the country in which you live. It’s funny that you consider that a waste of time.

 Would you mind PMing wiht me? I’d like to know more about your teacher. I may eventually use the retirement visa, but I just don’t see a reason to have them poking into my finances until I’m ready. I’d like to get to Thailand as soon as I get my vaccine.

 I’m glad to meet someone in the same situation. Did you start out with absolutely no Thai (well, aside from basic pleasantries)? I’m struggling to learn from online resources. I don’t think they really approach the language correctly. A one-on-one tutor might be very helpful while I await regular classes.
