Yeah the 2nd wave is definitely coming, There were 7 new cases today, In a population of 60 million ????

There's a growing number of people around the World that are not buying into the Covid panic.
They say the death figures and the way the figures are being recorded in every country is odd to say the least. Of course none of the mainstream media. are asking any challenging questions. Most people if they do just a little bit of their own research can find who has massive influences in both the media and the people advising most government's on the Covid situation.

It's also impossible to get an accurate number around the world of deaths from Covid 19 ..some countries are recording illnesses like Cancer etc.. Falling down the stairs.. If you have any kind chest infection, you'll been diagnosed as death from Covid 19 . Whilst more common sense countries only record the death as Covid 19 if that's actually what you died from.

I Guess this means that the death rate will go up in Thailand again now, As more people get back on the road ???? Don't suppose the government care to address that situation though ????

The borders and airports are still open for business in the UK, you can fly in from China, Italy or anywhere else thats still Opera????ting. No temperature checks or testing for Clovid 19.

Probably around 60 thousand deaths on the roads including those that didn't die at the roadside so far this year.
Yet people are in a panic and closing everything because of a strong flu virus that might kill a few thousand at worst.
Look at the UK, On average around 17 thousand people die in England alone from the flu over the last 5 years. The figure for Clovid looks like much less, But the whole country and others like it come to a standstill, costing peoples jobs, causing depression People becoming overweight through being stuck indoors all day. etc etc.
Total Madness ( the word sheep springs to mind )

It's not just down in Cornwall. Lots of manual workers all over the UK now have to compete with Eastern Europeans for not just a living wage but more and more often any sort of a job at all.
that's why a lot of low or unskilled workers voted for Brexit. Wages have not risen in 20 years

can somebody please confirm, I have a proof of monthly income letter, from the British Embassy, Got in December, I was told this would be valid for 6 months, My current visa runs out in March. Am I still going to be able to use this letter to renew my visa? Thanks for any advice

My mum sent 2 parcels from England before Christmas, mainly presents for my 4 year old daughter. Unfortunately she didn't pay extra for them to be tracked. Neither has turned up and they were sent 2 months ago. The total cost with postage and presents was about £200 ( the postage was still really expensive even without tracking)
We live in Hua Hin as well. I have been to the post office, we have proof of posting receipt ( my mum sent me) but this is not enough, so who knows where they are. You feel like someone has stolen from a young child. But we have no proof if it was taken / disappeared in The UK or Thailand. Very disappointing situation for my family.

Thanks for all your replys from everyone
At the moment and the whole process has been a bit of a nightmare. Its working out really expensive, as i dont have medical records ( due to living out of the country for a long time ) they were put into storage after i left my last doctor and can take up to 6 months to get transferred to your new GP ! So here is how much roughly everything costs ..
£180 for a private medical
£125 for the visa
£45 for police check
£20 for soliciters stamp of documents
+ 2 days in London , dropping off visa and picking it up the next day + photos & a lot of aggravation.
The good thing about this visa is that you can stay in Thailand for up to 2 yearsBecause of the cost and aggravation though i am now thinking of going down the other route, can someone please give me advice on this information
I get a single entry tourist visa ( this allows me to stay in Thailand for 2 or 3 months ) cost £50
When there are less than 30 days left ( but more than 15 days ) i apply for the O,retirement visa ( which allows me to stay for another year ) cost 1900-2000 bahtWith the proof of income i would have to go down the route of 800 thousand thai baht ( combined monthly income and savings ) does this money have to be in a Thai bank account or can your income and saving be in a UK savings accounts ?
Does the UK embassy accept bank statements as verifying proof of income or does it have to be more indepth
Thanks for any advice

I got my OA Visa last week from London.
Can't help with the income question I'm afraid but I can help with the rest of the process.
Filling in the Application Forms: There are a couple of questions that maybe people don't know what to put as answers. For 'Purpose of Current Visit', I just put 'Long Stay - Retirement'. For 'Evidence substantiating your Purpose of Visit', I left it blank.
Additional Application Form: Mostly self-explanatory if using Income just fill in that question, if using bank balance just fill in that section. I left the 'Reference person in Thailand' blank.
Police Report - I applied online through the website (ACRO) - cost £45, mine was 5 weeks old when I applied for my visa - it is allowed to be 3 months old.
Medical Certificate: My GP was happy to spend the 2 minutes it takes to fill in - cost £25. Also about 5 weeks old and allowed to be 3 months old.
Financial Proof: I used a very stagnant Fixed ISA account that had a little more the the required balance and no movements for 11 months. I went to a branch of Halifax, asked them to print off a statement and stamp it with the Branch Stamp (You don't need a reference letter if all the right details are on the statement page. I understand from other threads and my own experience that all they are looking for is your address and the Bank address on the same bit of paper with the balance and account details). Mine was about 3 weeks old when I applied.
Certification by a solicitor: The documents do not need to be 'notarised'. What is required is for them to be 'certified' as true copies of the original by a solicitor. I took mine to the solicitors who are linked to on the Thai Embassy website (Ashtons). They charge £5 per document so total cost was £15. You have to go to London to get this visa so you may as well use them. They are in Covent Garden a 15 min tube ride from Gloucester Road (the Thai embassy closest tube).
Took my documents in, the girl who looks at them spent about 30 seconds looking at my forms and that was that - waited for my receipt and then back the next day to pick it up.
Total cost £210.
Regarding the medical Roy111, how did you get round the tests for Leprosy , Terbercolosis , Drug addiction etc , it seems some GPs are signing the medical form easier than others

Any document that provides evidence of income is acceptable.
Rental agreements, interest from investments............what do you provide to HMRC for taxation purposes?
Self employed accounts, anything from HMRC, such as income earned and tax paid will do.
Bank statements will show your income, but proof of where it comes from is more convincing.
An O-A Visa can allow a two year stay maximum.
The Visa is valid for 1 year, and each entry allows another 1 year stay.
During the first year you can use the multi entry part to exit/enter Thailand as you wish.
Just before the 'enter before date' exit and re-enter to get a 2nd year permission to stay.
The Visa has now expired and you will need a re-entry permit from local Immigration to exit/enter Thailand to keep the permission to stay alive.
You have the option to leave the Country every 90 days or report to an Immigration office every 90 days.
You can only obtain a Non Imm O-A Visa from your home Country.
If you then wish to stay in Thailand you can get annual 'extensions' of stay from your local Immigration office based on marriage or retirement, but must deposit funds in a Thai bank to meet the financial requirements.
Thanks for the info Faz , with regards to when you are first issued your Visa , does the 1 year start as soon as its issued or when you first enter Thailand ?

My doctor is unable to do all the tests he can do the 3rd step syphilis and T.B. But the others It looks like I will need to go private.
Its hard to believe these tests cant even be done on the NHS privately.
This sounds like it could be a problem , good luck getting your medical sorted berybert. Not sure what to expect from my own GP then , i was quoted £150 private

Thanks Dene , when you say "go on your history or medical file" , you mean your Doctor signed the Medical Certificate, Basically just saying you were fit and healthy. and they accepted that.
-
Just looking at the website and realised i need to get police and medical checks , then get them signed by solicitors as well. ( not that i know any )
A private medical report can be quite expensive
I had no idea so much information and cost was involed !
how much are your solicitors charging you berybert ( if you dont mind me asking )
I am guessing the total cost for everything ( Visa application , doctors report, police checks and solicitor fees ) could be as much as £350 ! depending on solicitors fees

Thanks for your reply's. I rent out my house here in England , but with the £ being rubbish at the moment that woulsd only ammount to about 45-50 thousand baht per month :-(
I am worrking here at the moment ( employed ) , so i could use my payslips, although obviuosly when i come to Thailand i will stop work ing there . Does that affect the application ?
So i am geussing if i use a combination of , payslips , Uk house rental agrrement , Bank statements , hopefully that will be enough ?
How many months of bank statements etc do you think are required ?
Do i also need a police and medical report as well then ?

Hi Guys , I am hoping to come back out to Thailand in January. I'm just over 50 years old now so am hoping to get the O,A visa so i can stay for a year or more.
I dont have savings so I need to have proof of monthly income , to take /send to the Thai embassy in London. I am just wondering what is accepted. Obviously i am too young to get a pension but i have income from other means.
Do i just need to show bank statements ? They are asking for an income certificate on the website ..never heard of that in England before.
I have tried calling the Thai Embassy in london , but its an absoloutely shocking phone service ( non existent) i was waiting on the phone over 2 hours before it went dead ( the joke is the recorded message just keeps saying please hold , we will be with you shortly ) and judging by google reviews, other people have expereinced a simular terrible service ! what a waste of an afternoon and money ! All of the consuls have closed as well now , things are just getting worse and worse !
Anyhow if anyone has an idea of what i actually need i would appreciate it.
Also i have read on another website ( if i have understood this correctly ) if you get this visa from your home country , you can stay for up to 2 years now
Many thanks

Hi people , i hope someone can answer this question .
i am currently in LOS on a triple entry tourist visa , the date of issue of the visa was 22nd jan ...must enter before 21st july ,
i now still have 1 entry left , must i use the last entry before the 21st july ( leave and be back in Thailand ) or lose the 3rd entry ?
I dont really wish to do another visa run again so soon just to get another 3 months
my last current 2nd entry stamp allows me to stay until 7th august , although i could get another 30 days extension at immigration ( taking me up to the 5th September .
My flight back to England is the beginning of October , i would like to visit the Philippines for about 10 days at the start at September, would i still be allowed back in to Thailand after that ( visa on arrival ) how long would i get ?
Thanks for any advice
