Hi John, when you are married to a Thai national you are eligible for the CoE. But you would need a Visa to enter Thailand, and in the case of being married you would be able to re-enter on a Non Imm O Visa, hence they mention it on the drop-down menu. When not married to a Thai national (or with Thai dependent children) you cannot make use of that Non Imm O Visa option to re-enter Thailand.

Piscis Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Thanks Peter. Yes, i guess they will just denie my COE request on the Non O based on retirement (extension). Though they have already my Non O A Visa application, they may take that application into consideration for approving a COE... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parallel to that approach, i applied on Friday already for a Non O A Visa at the German consulate. I included all docs that are needed for the COE, as we are now in a transition phase to the new process on how to get the COE. Anyway, the MFA website seems to be just a new plattform that will forward the COA application to the choosen embassy/consulate the applicant could opt for. So at the end i think the receiver of the COE request will be the same. pre and post new procedure. John As I assume it is the same procedure as the UK, you cannot apply for the COE before or during your visa application. A COE is a 2 Stage process online. Stage 1 is pre aporoval. You need to upload your visa, your $100,000 Covid insurance, reason you are applying ie marriage certificate, your passport, your wifes paasport or ID card. When Stage 1 is pre athorised you have 15 days to book and upload your ASQ hotel and flight details. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
