FIY have a bunch of 3 old passports all expired in Thailand, they "invalidate" them (old school scissors to cut the cover, yeah... 21st century French methods) I always had to take the old invalid passport along with the new one to immi for transfers.
Thanks a lot! "in some cases" as in "it depends on the immigration officer"? And to sum up my understanding, 90 days reporting is crucial while in Thailand and less when leaving Thailand. Corect(ish)?
! So it's not an automatic procedure at the airport , however if the officer suspects you haven't done the 90 days reports as prescribed by the immigration of your area, he might want to check and apply a fine. Am I getting it correctly?
thank you, I'll gather all these and just go hoping I have all they need and if not will make an extra trip next week... Will also call the immigration office
so far, the restrictions with covid med certif and insurance were only for airtravel. Read the announcement made by the authorities. Why not land? Because there are still thousands of Thai citizens and neighboring countries citizens crossings the land borders and applying it to them, right now, is not what the gov wants. I believe land borders are still open (1 per bordering province, from what I read in the news, except Chiangmai, which has border with 2 countries, therefore should have 2 land borders open) and it's possible to cross for the moment given you can get into those countries with proper visas. Lastly, you can get a test in Thailand although with Bangkok shutting up it gets more difficult. There are hospitals that do it for about 100-300 USD, now I don't know how long it takes to get the results and I'm sure it's challenging to get the certif here get out and back in within 72hrs, but then...it might be possible as for now
