webber4 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi, I have a friend who lives in Estonia (Estonian passport) who wants to come to Thailand. Under the current restrictions she won't be able to enter with a tourist visa. She's interested perhaps in making a working visa or another visa (money is not an issue). Would that be a possibility? Any link to some site or thread she could look into? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Not currently possible and most likely for quite some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackThompson Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Difficult at best - and would need (for starters) an invitation letter from a Thai company. Covid-Free test, quarantine 2 wks upon entry (you pay) and 100K Insurance also. That's not all - might be impossible - just giving you a heads-up on the key elements.

Burma Bill Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 For reference Yahoo News (the reverse situation):- Quarantine rules end today for people travelling to the UK from more than 70 countries and British Overseas Territories- The 58 countries now exempted from quarantine measures are: Andorra Antigua and Barbuda Aruba Australia Austria Bahamas Barbados Belgium Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba Croatia Curaçao Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Dominica Faroe Islands Fiji Finland France French Polynesia Germany Greece Greenland Grenada Guadeloupe Hong Kong Hungary Iceland Italy Jamaica Japan Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Macau Malta Mauritius Monaco Netherlands New Caledonia New Zealand Norway Poland Reunion San Marino Seychelles South Korea Spain St Barthelemy St Kitts and Nevis St Lucia St Pierre and Miquelon Switzerland Taiwan Trinidad and Tobago Turkey Vatican City Vietnam As you can see Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia and Burma (Myanmar) ARE NOT on the list. Interesting to see Hong Kong and Taiwan are listed but not mainland China. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerox Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Does not matter if the UK believes Thailands statistics. We still will not get back to Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply. She knows that by now and yet she is determined to find a way. Let's see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she is absolutely determined, and has serious money to spend, she should contact a well connected legal firm in Bangkok. Around US$10,000 would probably be sufficient.

J Town Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 "The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 situation a pandemic on March 11, 2020, so most insurance companies consider it a known and foreseen event. So most travel insurance companies will not cover most claims due to the coronavirus." https://blog.mint.com/coronavirus-covid-19/does-travel-insurance-cover-coronavirus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingRoundTheWorld Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Can you currently be issued a student visa or a work visa? Would it be impossible to either start a company or start studying something like Thai language currently? Assuming money is not an issue. 3 hours ago, BritTim said: If she is absolutely determined, and has serious money to spend, she should contact a well connected legal firm in Bangkok. Around US$10,000 would probably be sufficient. Any you'd recommend? I have a friend desperate to get back into Thailand and he'd probably be willing to pay that if the terms were right. Hell *I* might be willing to pay that if the terms are right... what exact visa would they put you on? It's too much for a single entry, but if it guaranteed multiple entries and perhaps longer stays than 30 days then it would be doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
