What are the current waiting times for UK visas, and how do they affect flight bookings?

David ***********

We were told 10-12 weeks wait when we submitted the application on 9th May. Decided to pay for the express processing (approx 3000 THB I think) and it still took 3 weeks.

What should I do if the Morchana app isn't working for uploading my Day 5 COVID test result?

David ***********

I just kept a photo of the result on my phone. I finally received the notification on Morchana app 8th April (my day 5 was 15 Mar 🙄). I uploaded the photo and the QR code changed from Medium Risk (Orange) to Low Risk (Green). Not had any other response of feedback. Only time I’ve ever been asked to show it was for domestic flights.

What are the experiences of opening a bank account in Thailand for expats on a retirement visa?

David ***********

I opened an account with SCB in Hua Hin about 12 yrs ago. Opened a 2nd account at same branch 2 yrs ago. They asked if I wanted insurance and I said (politely) no thanks and opened an account no problem. Just had to deposit 1000 THB and show passport and rental agreement.

What should I include on my arrival card when entering Bangkok under the Test & Go scheme?

David ***********

This is that new form. It was handed out on my flight (Emirates to BKK on 10th Mar) along with the TM6. Agree it’s a bit confusing but simple enough to complete. Had to present at Immigration and again at my Test & Go hotel.

What is the best way to book an SHA+ Extra room online in Thailand without a bank transfer?

David ***********

I used Holiday Inn Silom. Sent booking and all required documents by email. They confirmed booking same day. I applied for Thailand Pass that evening and it was approved next day - so I reckon about 36hrs in total.
