A quick dig on the London Embassy website and at first glance it looks like no update since August. However, go to the list at https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/pu...ae4b236972c562 and eligibility for Certificate of Entry now include:
For long-stay visa holder (Non-Immigrant O-A / O-X).
For retirement (Non-Immigrant O).
For Elite Card holders.
For non-Thai who own property in Thailand.
For tourism purpose (single entry tourist visa only).
The single entry tourist visa is a sixty day visa (one 30 day extension permitted). I have also read that the previous requirement of B500 k in a Thai bank is no longer applicable. The UK Embassy just says proof from a UK or Irish bank of sufficient funds to cover the trip.
One small issue for readers in England. You are probably breaking the Lockdown v2 laws by going to the airport between now and early December as "leaving the country" (except for work) is not a permitted reason to leave home.
When I get a bit more time I'll check the Thai Embassy US to see if the criteria are the same. The article said the change happened on 18-Nov, but it seems the Embassy website dates don't update when the pages are updated (the link says August, the page July and the change was recent).

Posts: 6308I was talking to a gogo girl and she was under the impression that anyone can get in to Thailand now but no one wants to sit around for 14 days. She asked why I don't come because I have nothing else to do and 14 day quarantine would be easy for me. I told her it was only for China at the moment and she argued that my country can get in. This girl watches the news constantly so who knows what Thai people are being told on Thai news.

As for all these ideas it never has really picked up steam the Thai leaders come out with all these made-up numbers to make people think it is? The last article I read Embassy in the USA And Europe have voiced their dissatisfaction about needing to have 500,000 in a bank account and must be proof for last six month. Things are suggested that just fall apart, then some other person picks it up and runs with it again!
In the last month, I've been contacted by Cathay my flight to the US has been canceled, today my hotel in S. F. Said they are canceling my reservation for Feb, I was hoping for the best 6 months ago but I already knew based on everything being thrown out that just hasn't worked my trip wasn't going to happen. So now I cross my finger regardless of the crazy outbreak in the USA Something bright will happen so I can plan for June?

Posts: 6308So this proposal is actually picking up steam. You have to have the Thai Elite Visa which costs 1 million over 5 years. You must also invest 1 million in a business or property. So 2 million baht gets you in. Not difficult to swallow if you really want to be in Thailand long term. They will likely add something like you need 1 or 2 million in a Thai bank account as well. So if you have 3 or 4 million in liquid assets there is hope.
Hopefully I don't get called out again by a board member that I am wrong and know nothing about Thailand. Then tell me he can't tell me why I'm wrong.

Over a month ago I was reading an article on the two leading vaccines and CDC (USA) assigned to make the distribution and they were already putting out notices to those who would provide the doses like Pharmacy like Walgreen. Of the two one had to be given two shots and both must be handle in a specific manner (temperature) one due to the low temperature most likely can only be given by City Health Departments due to the storage equipment. Having spoken to my cousin and nephew who works for the Veterans and City Health Department in our conversation say they are already set up once it is shipped.
From what I have already read not all are just vaccine there are many others which aren't just banking on a shot or shots?

I’d like to think that there will be at least a few different vaccines available. If one has long term problems it would nice to have another ready for use. We don’t know how often we will need to get vaccine boosters, if ever.

Pfizer is different. They didn't get funded by the government, they only had an advanced agreement to purchase a certain number of dosages if it worked. Pfizer risked all their R&D money and I feel they should be entitled to the vaccine design.
I'm making these statements based on little bits of information gathered from various sources. If somebody has a link to some real funding information, I would appreciate seeing the link.

It should be criminal keeping these vaccine's a secret. If someone has an effective vaccine it should be shared with every possible manufacturer. Government's should step in and compensate the Pfizer's or Moderna at a reasonable profit but make them share the formula for this pandemic and any in the future.

Posts: 2417Chinese vaccine in Brazil
This is just a political feud between Bolsonaro, who wants the federal government to buy a western vaccine for all Brazil, and the governor of Sao Paulo, who wants the State of Sao Paulo to procure the Chinese vaccine for his State. This is political, not medical, and may of course be related to kick-backs.
