What is the day you leave Ecuador? Only the test results certificate need to done 72 hours before departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official translation normally means one done by a translation service with a stamp done by them, You should get the COE from the designated embassy for where your will start your trip. Here is the info if your origin is Columbia. Source: https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/regis/step?language=en If you will be in Texas for a few days you could apply with that being your origin. What visa will you have when you enter Thailand? If you have to apply for a visa you will have to travel to the US to apply for it due to the Lima embassy only doing them for residents of Cambodia, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the COE website it states origin not nationality. If you spend enough time in the US to use as your origin to do the COE before your flight to here from the US you could apply to the embassy in DC.

Only the test results certificate need to done 72 hours before departure. I leave EC Jan. 11 12 43 am. So I must have the test results but not the fit to fly? Then I'm ok. thank you. But where do I get that? I wanted to share this w/ the group/board; it might help somebody: the Lima embassy wrote that a person traveling a long route similar to mine was stopped by Qatar in Dubai. Qatar wanted him to take another test (in Dubai) because the rt pcr test was 'too old.' But then they let him fly on to Bangkok! (I'll fly through Doha, but I hope it's similar.) Thank you.

You will need the fit to fly within 72 hours before your flight. That should not be hard to get done. Just show one of these two forms to a clinic for doctor . F2F form or F2F-Form (1) Here is the 2nd one translated to Spanish to show a doctor so they can just fill in the blanks in on the english one. Fit to fly certificate in Spanish.pdf I think the airlines are aware now that Thailand only the covid 19 test certificate to be issued 72 hours before the first departure flight.

riclag Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I'm looking forward to the vaccine coming ! For the last 20 years I have been taking the flu shot and would have no problem with the vaccine! I truly miss normalcy to traveling , especially in and out of Thailand ! The restrictions upon returning back here make it very difficult, financially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new fit to fly form was much easier to deal with, too. There was one flaw in the final day: the lab report's in Spanish. Not a real complicated report, 'negativo' being the important thing, so I wish I could just leave it as it is. I'll be in Guayaquil, EC tomorrow to get the flight, & so far people say I can get on the plane, with all the other docs. Should I ask a visa facilitator to translate it for me?

Best to have the test result translated. You should be able to find a translation service to do it that could stamp it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are increasingly covid-centered, the SFO airport almost empty.& even in Guayaquil at the airport & in the city things were reduced to basics. Cheerful, but basics, no translations, no friend of a friend to help. We shall see. Thanks for writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
