I have travelled extensively with medication for many years . I transfer it all myself into nomads ( monthly pill boxes) before I travel, and I have all the labels from the original boxes packaged with them in my hand luggage. If asked I can identify each pill.

we also received ours via email in the early hours of Sunday morning, so it’s not even necessarily working days either 👍 we got ours 3wks ago and it took 6 days.

We’ve never had any issues with booking our flight for 90 days and travelling on a 60 day SETV and 30 day extension. We’re from the UK and have used all the major airlines with no questions asked. The person who owns the accommodation should send you a picture of their ID and your booking as proof of where you plan to stay. I honestly don’t anticipate any problems for you tbh.

@Graham ********

the form you need is a tm8 and it’s a one page document that is very simple to fill in. In Samui, we handed it over with our passport, and was told to collect it the next day. It was stapled in the back of our passport when we collected it 👍

@Robin *******

Royal Vacation is a travel company that can sort your visa out for you. Not cheap, and you still have to send them all the documents the embassy require, but they’re very reliable 😊

@Ronald ********

I understand the caution, but we always fly from Manchester with 60 day setv, and then extend. We have flown Qatar, Singapore, Etihad, BA, Malaysian and Emirates, and there’s never been any issues with visa not matching duration of stay ( return flight). As I see it, it’s the only way to do it, being as they don’t do a 90 day tourist visa 👍

@Richard ********

but we will have over 2 months left to spend in Thailand before we go back to the UK, so we would have to factor in a border bounce if we chose this option.

So would the safest solution be to apply for the METV?

@Graham *****

oh I hadn’t thought of that option. Thank you 😊

@Graham *****

we leave the UK and return 89 days later. In between ( near the beginning) we’re going to Australia for 2wks. We ideally need the 90 day option 👍
