One or two reports of DTV holders being affected as well. Apparently if you're married to a Thai then you get to keep your account and there are other circumstances as well. Best is to lay low. Unless contacted by your bank, no need to do anything.

I posted this on Asean Now a few days back and the thread was shut down because the gay moderator thought it was unsubstantiated.

I don't think that banks will suddenly reopen accounts for tourists or others in 6 months time. You've got that completely wrong. Once a certain large scale crackdown is underway and policies change it stays that way permanently.

It's like the volunteer visas that agents used to be able to obtain. Nowadays, they're gone. No agent can assist in getting one anymore. You can apply for a volunteer visa but it must be done properly through a legitimate sponsor and through a Thai embassy or consulate abroad.

20-25 years ago, they were stamping passports out of Thailand and back in, without the holder being present. That practice occurred as late as 2008 but sometime after that it ended, permanently. You now have to go in person.

Sure, corruption is still a big thing in Thailand and there's still a lot of shady business going on but they're changing, so don't expect the bank account situation to return to normal because it won't.

@Tod ********

No, if you've actually done one, they would know. That's the point! I'm not talking about people who didn't do one. If I've actually done one, I don't need to show them proof. They would be able to see it in their system. If they claim that they can't see it, then that's their problem. I would simply explain I've done it.

@Tod ********

Surely all of them can see whether you've done it? I won't be printing out or showing any QR code. I'll just tell them I've done it.

Assuming you're Nigerian and the Nigerian authorities don't impose a yellow fever vaccination requirement on their citizens to leave the country (many African countries do) then you first have to find a country that doesn't require the shot to enter or transit (such as European countries) before flying to Thailand.

However, that isn't a guarantee because Thai immigration still pulls aside all Nigerian nationals to check their yellow fever vaccination certificate.

In theory, a minimum 10 day stay in a non-yellow fever country should negate this requirement, but it's uncharted waters.

If you're concerned, you might want to consider getting a "contraindication to vaccination certificate ".

I don't know if the Thai authorities will accept this for quarantine free entry.

Singapore imposes a 6-day quarantine on holders of this certificate (meaning anyone who is medically unfit to be vaccinated against yellow fever) and I suspect the Thais are the same but I don't know for sure.

@Cesar ******

Yep they probably won't even issue you a boarding pass since the Thailand Health Pass form is a mandatory requirement for boarding a flight from those countries. Airlines that don't comply could be fined.

@John *********

It's a certainty to be denied entry and in fact, you need to fill out the T.8 health form with your yellow fever vaccination certificate uploaded just to get issued a boarding pass. This requirement was imposed last August in the wake of the monkeypox 2.0 "outbreak".

Yes. You need to fill out the T.8 Thailand Health Pass otherwise you won't be issued a boarding pass.

@John ******

Yes for Myanmar it's also 14 days.
