@Felix ******

there’s nothing to “understood”, it’s not from when the test is taken, the Thai embassy sites tell you exactly what the rule is, which every one I’ve looked at says result not time of the test. But that’s for Thailand, some places require test and results within 72, or 96.

@Brian *******

while I think that’s the case I went to look to make sure nothing had changed and it looks like there’s a typo “test result tested” doesn’t even make any sense, and looking at a couple other countries they still all say from the result.

This is off the London thai site

@Оливер ********

so that testing company might say from the swab because they do not offer a time when you receive the results, which seems quite strange, the dozen or so Covid tests I’ve taken all had at least test taken and results given, hell I even had a test give me 4 different times.

Still doesn’t change that the requirement for Thailand is 72 hours from result

Also if you don’t know it’s a good idea to ask for what the Covid test result sheet looks like to make sure it gives you everything you need.

@Оливер ********

soo you think they are correct instead of what’s on the Royal Thai embassy page for entry requirements to Thailand?

Every Thai embassy page I’ve ever seen says results and Germany is no different.

Kind of questionable to be a travel agency and giving out incorrect information 🤷‍♂️

Last year when this was a huge debate I looked at a half dozen countries thai embassy websites and they all said from the results, that was a year ago and while it’s possible they changed I don’t think some would be from the swab and some would be from the result when the destination is the same.

I just looked at the Thai embassy site for Frankfurt and it says it’s 72 hours from the result, you got a source for where it says 72 hours from swab?

@Jodie *****

they didn’t even ask to see any documents, and when I have had to show proof I have a picture of my CDC vaccination card on my phone which has been good enough

I’ve only been asked about my vaccination status, when I got it, and which one.

i used a Covid extension last year on my TR 60 without using my 30 day extension, it depends on the office

General consensus it’s extremely likely they extend the Covid visas past the 25th, but likely won’t know until days before

They are supposed to be stricter with the Covid visas, probably no issue if you’re asking for your first, if you’re on your 6th they might not like that

@Peter *******

it was reported as printed in sundays Royal gazette, maybe they reiterated it 🤷‍♂️

This was posted earlier in the week by Richard barrow, it was in the Royal gazette last Sunday.

It was the right thing to do
