    Pre-departure COVID-19 test - Bangkok

    in Health and Medicine

    Posted

    I have managed to get my daughter a flight out of Thailand to join me here in Australia. Before she travels she requires a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test.

     

    I am looking for information on a hospital or clinic in Bangkok that can do this test and furnish the results in about 24 hours.

     

    Any information on costs would also be appreciated.

    Contact for the office of the King of Thailand

    in General Topics

    Posted

    I am guessing all of His Majesty's correspondence goes through this office.

     

    Office of His Majesty’s Principal Private Secretary
    The Grand Palace, Na Phralan Road,
    Bangkok, 10200.

    Telephone: 02 2255833-43, 02 2253457-67
    Fax: 02 2243259

     

    "At present, the Office of His Majesty’s Principal Private Secretary is responsible for documents received from government offices, non-government offices, and the general public for submission to His Majesty the King for royal authorisation and decision depending on each case. The Office also conveys royal wishes and commands to parties concerned. It is evident that the Office of His Majesty’s Principal Private Secretary has the role of coordinator between His Majesty the King and the Government, the various offices of the public and private sectors, as well as the general public concerning both the affairs of State and His Majesty’s private affairs."

    Sorry I didn’t read your whole post

    I also skimmed through your last paragraph

    Seriously, you had problems reading 8 and a half lines of text?

    And expect others to read even more lines when you post!

    For some, ALL of the information garnished from these posts could make a difference.

     

    Here is another one you didn't read or skimmed over ......

    If you do not state what office you are dealing with specifically then your post is meaningless and irrelevant.

    Has Anyone Used Monthly Income without the Income Letter?

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Reference Income for retirement.

    Went to my Immigration office today with two lots of "Proof of Income" No Embassy Affidavit or Stat Dec provided.

     

    1. Official Government letters from Australian Military pension and Government Department of Veterans Affairs/age pension.

    2. Bank statements from Australian bank showing transfers of funds to Thailand bank account,

    Well done DUNROAMING.

    I can also show the same "proof of income" as you (dfrdb / comsuper pension + vet affairs part disability service related)

     

    However, at my IO (Buriram) I have already been told that they will only accept fully seasoned money in the bank.

     

    Mind you, that could possibly change getting closer to the end of the year and also depending on which officer you deal with.

     

    True story from last Wednesday at immigration. After being out of the Province for 4 days I went to tell them I was back. My details were updated on the computer. A friend who had been away with me also went later in the morning. He tried to report back in and was told "no need, only if you are away for a long time"????????????

    Denmark Embassy Has Stopped Doing Pension Letters

    I am now beginning to wonder seriously whether the Immigration Bureau's ultimate objective is to have the seasoned bank balance method be the strict order of the day for proving finances at annual extension of stay time.

    Exactly what I was told yesterday whilst doing a 90 day report (Buriram sub office)

     

    And, cut off date for using an Australian Embassy Stat Dec will be the 7th January 2019. Which is the same day the Embassy will stop issuing them.

    Whether or not every office plays by the rules is another matter

    And that is what I will hopefully find out early next month.

    here are two clauses because you can be married only, a parent only, or both. If you are both you can apply under either clause!

    I will report on my interaction with my Immigration office after my next visit.

    Depends which immigration office you use.

    Buriram for me. No dramas with them for anything thus far.

    The extension for being the parent of a Thai is really meant to be for single parents so immigration can refuse to do it if you are married.

    Food for thought UJ. Thanks.

    I have a 90 day report early next month so will have a chat with them then.

    It might end up being a moot point if the AUD $ gets out of the doldrums by February next year.

    I may go down this "extension - Thai child" road next year.

    Currently on "Retirement extensions" although married.

    I have a Thai child (12 years old)

    I have read the Police Order 327_2557 section 2.18 and 2.19.

    I am assuming that I would apply using 2.18. Could someone please confirm that?

    Also, is it allowable to apply for this type of extension even though I am married? Or would Immigration try to swing me back to the "Married extension" that I was using prior to turning 50 years old?
