yuri48494 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 For personal reasons, I'm looking to leave Thailand sooner rather than later. I have a valid visa for quite a few more months, but would like to leave. I don't mind going through quarantine on arrival. Just not sure what my options are in Asia specifically? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lopburi3 Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2020 Believe Cambodia has indicated such a system with upfront payment in cash that will be refunded if not required. AFAIK Philippines is still totally blocked but they could change as they are starting to loosen up even with a lot of infection and seems to be understanding that more will likely die for starvation than COVID if this lockdown continues. Expect there may be information in the subforums for various countries. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchaiyank Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 You may want to wait this thing out in Thailand for a bit longer...Thailand "appears" to be one of the safest countries in the world at this time...very few virus cases being reported. Travel at this time may expose you to the virus...more than 1,000 TSA airport screeners have tested positive in the US... Hunker down a bit longer...see where this virus thing goes before making your move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam understandably wants some of them tourist billions money that Thailand doesn't want and so does Cambodia and the Philippines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecyclist Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 5 hours ago, lexlam said: Try to check travel about vietnam, if open or any requirements, etc,, I think Vietnam has more attractions to stay and experience life there, Vietnam is still pretty much closed, and according to the latest government press release will stay so for a while longer. Unless you are a Vietnamese citizen, a diplomat, or a highly skilled worker, considered essential by the Vietnamese government you won't get in. Since they have done so well in the containment of the Pandemic, much better even than Thailand, they will probably be the last in SEA to open. A pity, I live in Vietnam now, but miss my regular outings to other countries in the region. I can get out, but wouldn't be able to get back in any time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
