Hi James,

I will probably use Luma when I come from the UK, but is there any practical advantage in using Arawan? Many thanks

Pic on the page of your passport showing the last stamp, pic of you holding your passport, hotel res pic, flight confirmation pic, and for things that didn't apply (sponsor etc) pic of a hand written note saying 'none, not applicable'.

I presume you can, but I think there is a question for people not applying in their own country. If you start an application you will get to the question to see. If the application isn't complete and submitted within 14 days it drops off the system anyway.

Hi Gordon. In all 3 cases I didn't. I applied to London, but maybe different in other countries. As you have to have insurance for Thai Pass, that could be a reason. Perhaps someone else on here knows.

It means the 2 x paid RT PCR tests when you arrive, not the one you need to do before you fly.

Yes tourist visa is 60 days and has to be applied for in your own country. Separately you need a Thailand Pass to enter the country. If you arrive at Thai immigration with just a Thailand Pass you'll get 30 days visa exempt (which can be extended by another 30 days at an immigration office for 1,900 baht).

Soneone else mentioned only 1 day hotel booking needed for the 60 day visa, and that was OK, same with no return/ongoing flight needed. Presume I will need 60 days if insurance to go with my visa, which I would need/want anyway. Thailand pass requires 30 days ins if you arrive 30 day visa exempt (I believe).

I have 3 months from approval to enter the country with the 60 day visa. As I may still move my flight back a bit, I didn't want to pay insurance/hotel until I am sure what I am doing.

No, I just booked a cancellable room for one night. I will probably arrange the COE through Royal Vacation to include 2 tests, insurance and airport pick up.
