Looks like only Singaporeans and long term visa / passes permitted, as expected. Thanks anyway. I've spoken to one. They say I need to leave and return.....as if it's that simple. 555. Neighbouring countries are closed. A run to UK is completely impractial given distance and cost. Quarantine alone on UK side is 2285GBP. Plus flight and tests Thai side Id be looking at 3000GBP one way. The return leg may cost less but still approx 2000GBP all inc. So total 5000GBP. Ridiculous. Basically this issue comes down to mixed info from immigration. I was on a B visa for a previous employer. That was cancelled 2 weeks ago. I however made it clear to immigration my intention to find new employment in-country. On this basis the immigration office (I wont mention the location) provided an extension based on covid to allow me to find a new job. They assured me I could convert to a new B visa once I secured new employment. However when I found new employment in another province the local immigration office there did not agree that I could switch in-country and said I need to leave country and return to get a new B visa. Now, we all know making a complaint about the immigration office that gave the mixed info is a total waste of time. So if I cant find an immigration contact or agent with a crumb of common sense I may need to 'visa run'. Not a welcome thought.

Long story short - and after taking all my willpower not to commit murder at immigration - I may need to do a 'visa run' to get a new B visa. In any other time this would involve a leisurely trip to KL which I would welcome. Obviously it is not that easy anymore. So - before I fork out the 1/4M THB it'd cost to 'visa run' to the UK - does anyone know if it's possible to do in any neighbouring countries yet? And if so, the process involved? I dont mind quarantine periods. For info Im not vaccinated.
