So you are like Thai women then? Love with your wallet. Because, real feelings, well if you fell for a woman, it is for her personality, not ehr nationality or making it always easier. If my girl comes back, well she stays, she not goes back any more. I lost my pension, waiting for her, but that is another story...

Hi Chris Gade. My girlfriend is in quarantine in Bangkok, coming from Philippines. I done all procedure for her. It is very confusing, be well advised. We almost failed, because wrongly informed, how to get the fit to fly for instance. I made one mistake to indeed book in Bangkok, as living in Pattaya area. But the Pattaya hotels, not offered refund in case of no show. Chang Mai seems difficult. Be aware of many things. You need a lot to get her out. If the Thai embassy would allow COE now without visa, is unsure. If your girl not has the equivalent of 100.000 bht on her account, I suggest you go to the Philippine embassy in Bkk, and get affidavit of support. I went that way. Be aware. If your girl not left the Philippines before, Philippine immigration can offload her. Even before covid, my girl flew with a lot of documents to prove our relation. All depends on the officer goodwill though. I had another affidavit of support for Philippine immigration. Although before it was not necessary, some request a CFO certificate now. Is not expensive to obtain. You have to register on their site though. Be also aware, to start processing a month before intended travel. Processing of visa is 5 working days, and 1 st day not count. Only after obtaining the visa, she can apply for COE, that can take a week. CFO only send certificate, after seeing the visa, but you can register before and get other things done, like interview, sending proof of relationship before. Be also aware, that all can be ruined if one of the countries decide that non essential travel is suspended. My girlfriend is as said in Bangkok and it now a thriller, if she be allowed to join me in Pattaya area, due to covid measures. You owe me a drink though, sending you this message in the middle of the night

I can help you, but vote against it, in this situation. Except if you want to try to let her stay here. It is all hell.

My gf arrived 6 days ago. But now is the stress to get her in 9 days in Pattaya as she is quarantine in Bangkok

No visa changed. If you had apply for your COE already, and it was approved then you need to ask a new COE. If not, u go to the website, get old hotel booking off, old flight too and put new data.

You should also keep in mind, to book a flight or give proof to leave country within 60 days, not 90. If you have no visa, it is supposed, at entry to stay 2 months either! This is more a problem if checking in on your outbound flight to Thailand. They not often reason, that technically you can stay 3 months, without leaving the country. Book a ticket on rent a ticket 24 hour before you land in Thailand.

They try to sell you that insurance. Just refuse it, and they will open the account any way. I am at the same branch.
