Popular Post snoop1130 Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 Immigration Bureau gets ready for tourists making most of new long-stay visa By The Nation The Immigration Bureau has started making preparations for an influx of foreign tourists now that the government has started offering long-stay visas to stimulate the economy. The bureau has said it will strictly follow the Public Health Ministry’s guidelines on curbing the spread of Covid-19 and will apply these measures on tourists arriving through all modes of transport. Visitors planning to apply for this Special Tourist Visa are required to show proof of long-term accommodation and be willing to spend 14 days in quarantine. The special visa begins with a 90-day stamp on the passport and then can be extended twice for 90 days each time.

ThailandRyan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 No it is not the start of a new sentence, as you have no periods (.) to denote the end of a complete sentence. Using .... is not a proper or correct end for a sentence. See your post which I have copied and pasted below: "I really can't believe they think that tourists are going to come flooding in .... lol Amazing laughable Thailand ....." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samsensam Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 hardly an influx, three plane loads, easily processed in a day, if not half a day, then take the rest of the month off to recover from a hard days work, rest, recuperate and prepare for the next 'influx' in a months time. nice work if you can get it. the IOs could head to a tourist resort for the rest of the month and help boost the economy; win/win 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bwpage3 Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 Immigration has no clue how financially strapped people are all over the world. Increased airfare in you can even get a flight in, quarantine for 14 days and insurance. Who in their right mind would pay and go through all that when Thailand still has 50% of the businesses shuttered in tourist locations? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
