Of the four groups, "rich global citizens" have no age restrictions, but this group is required to invest at least US$500,000 (16.4 million baht) in government bonds, property or foreign direct investment. They must have at least $80,000 in income over the last two years and $1 million in assets.

Meanwhile, wealthy retirees must be at least 50 and have an annual income of $40,000, in addition to investing $250,000 in government bonds or real estate.

Professionals interested in working from Thailand includes remote work or employees of large companies that are close to retirement. They must have $40,000 per year in income with an educational background of at least a master's degree or higher, or rights in intellectual property, and five years experience in research.

Experts in digital services must work for SET-listed companies or work for at least three years in private companies that have earnings of more than $50 million a year. There is no age limit for skilled professionals, though they must work in target industries, or be academic experts in universities or state agencies.

The Thai Intervac site just added half a dozen new hospitals around Thailand, including Samithivej Sriracha Hospital, Chonburi, as well as another round at Phyathai 2 in Bangkok. They're all marked "coming soon." August could be a biggie for vaccinations.

Thanks for the info Ex-PenhMan. At 55 I think I'm at the younger end of the retired age group in Chonburi so might fit into the second tranche if they start vaccinating expats down here. I think last quarter is a realistic target hopefully.

If you are still trying to get a vaccination appointment, I would advise you to keep an eye on http://thailandintervac.com for the latest news. The
@MFAThai has implied that they will open up for more age groups soon once the most vulnerable are vaccinated. Good luck! #Thailand

Bloody teenager! Yeah, I'd agree that Q4 is looking more a possibility now. Got my AZ shot this week at Phyathai 2. Quick and easy. Amazing medical staff.

PS Doesn't look like I'll make it to Pattaya/Jomtien until sometime in mid-August. Even that's looking doubtful with the heavier restrictions and soaring infection cases.
