Simon, I’d go to Bangkok Hospital. Might cost more than the Government Hospital but service is much better. Just go to reception and ask to book an appt for a Covid PCR-Test a few days before you fly. Ask what the turnaround is for the results and book your appt so that you get your results back < 72hrs before you fly.

As others have already said, it varies from one Immigration Office to the next. I’d go and ask at your local office now. My 1st 60d extension to SETV was due to expire on 12th Apr. I went and asked today and they told me I could do it now. So I did and I’ve now been extended to 12th Jun and it’s only 9th Mar.

I got a 60d extension for my first extension of SETV. Immigration Office didn’t ask for proof of return flight to UK. However different Immigration Offices seem to apply the rules differently so if you want to be sure just go and ask at your local Office.

Simon, best to go ask at your local immigration office. The rules (or at least their implementation) varies from office to office. When I got my 60d TR VISA extended last time (extended to early April) the officer told me I would probably get another 60d extension in April as the current rules are due to run until end of May, as

@Ben ******

says above. You can apply for VISA extension within 30d of expiry so I suggest you get your ass over to HH Immigration sooner rather than later to find out for sure. Can you report back here what they tell you?

@Shaun *******

, I did pretty much same as Lisa above. I applied at RTE London in Nov for VISA and flew MAN>DXB>BKK with Emirates in Dec.

For VISA application I put my intended flight and ASQ hotel (I had not booked/paid anything at this stage). When my passport was returned with VISA now in it I applied for COE using same flight and ASQ info. Once COE was pre-approved I then booked flight and ASQ and uploaded ticket & ASQ booking to complete COE application. Pretty straightforward, just confusing at the start.

I had this form ready just in case when I travelled to Thailand in Dec. At UK check-in (Emirates) they said it’s no longer required. Nobody asked to see it at transit (DXB) or at Thai Immigration (BKK).

You’re guided all the way. Not thing to worry about at all. Just make sure you have all the paperwork available.

@Tod ********

, I agree. I had less than 30d to go on my TR visa and just got a 60d Covid extension.

I opened an account with SCB Hua Hin. Used my rental agreement as proof of residence. It was a few years ago so things may have changed. I suggest you take a Thai friend with you - always helps a lot.

But to be on safe side I would complete it and have it ready just in case.

I put the address I’m staying at after ASQ
