Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I think that they've resumed to offer the regular tourist visa is an important step. It's not for the masses and cannot be for as long as there's mandatory quarantine at an ASQ hotel, obviously, but anyone who has the time and the coin to come to Thailand for an extended holiday has now become eligible for entry again.
Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I wouldn't be too happy having to send passport, address details, copy of bank statement etc.. .in the post - great for any hacker who came accross it!

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I don't mind providing bank balance proof for my retirement based visa but I don't think I'd be willing to do it for a simple tourist visa. I suppose it will be abolished again when they want to get the masses back in eventually.

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
and looking at the current requirements it seems you need 500k baht in the bank for the visa - how many regular tourists have that amount sitting around?

So the stv was a HUGe success
now that will save the tourism economy ::::::Ms Thepanee explained that as of Nov 5 the MFA had issued certificates of entry (COE) to 1,495 people who had already entered the country.
Of those, 501 were issued to foreigners who had already entered the country on a long-stay visa (OA), while 331 were issued to people who had entered Thailand on the Special Tourist Visa (STV)

Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I think for hospitality relaated businesses clinging to the hope of travel resuming it will be the slow pace of recovery that will kill a lot of them off for good. As travel restrictions ease businesses start to reopen therefore spreading the limited up tick of customers business thinly across the ground for lower individual business benefit. Whether many will survive on a lower overall tourist numbers at peak level is another issue as well. Even though SE.Asia is a very dynamic region where things can change rapidly I still see a very bleak scenario for at least the next couple.of years for Thailand's tourist dominant areas.
