Only thing to do at present is the passenger locator form which can be found on the uk/gov website and must be filled out 48hrs before you leave.

You need to double check but last week i think chiang mai was put back in lock down....

i got a 60 day visa with some advice on here which i found easy to apply for online, if you do that then when you get here i think you can apply for a 30day extension at the local immigration office. The more experienced in the group maybe able to offer you more advice on that route though...

Try coverwise, if you speak to them they can actually send you the breakdown of your covid cover on the insurance policy for you to send for your thailand pass.

I opened an account with bangkok bank on soi buakhow pattaya, took me about 20 minutes, had passport, rental agreement and a thai partner, it cost me 7000baht which included the 5900baht insurance, then was a couple of other fees which brought it upto that cost, have spoken to a few people who have opened thai accounts with different banks and all of them have said the same regarding the fees and insurance payment....

then i don’t know bud, I’m just stating you don’t have to show bank statements to get a tourist visa, i think the main thing they are looking for is that you have the means and ability to live without resorting to work within the country whilst you are here.

Didnt show bank statements for my 60 day tourist visa, they want a proof of income from the country you reside either by bank statement or payslip so i forwarded 2 months payslips, had my visa in 48hrs

Depends how much and how often?

Been with my girl for 3 years and she has only ever asked me for money 2 times, each time for about £50-£60 so she can go spend time with her friends.

@Drew ******

thanks mate, i do normally just bring cash over and change when im here, but will be honest i just moved £250 across via wise, it cost me £1.83 to transfer and i got 44.93 exchange rate, best im finding here at mo is currency exchange and your getting 44.68.

Good advice from the guys on this page, maybe worth you having a look aswell mate....

But cheers for the advice!
