That mold in the basement must be getting to you. Come out and live real life and go somewhere cool like the rest of us. Or maybe your kids are doing the right thing keeping you locked down there. You know grandpa is not allowed to come out for any fresh air. Just make sure his computer stays charged.

Posts: 2Questions about visa and extensions
Hello folks,
First time on ISG. Nice to meet you all.
I am flying in to Thailand this week on the 30-day stay and have some questions regarding visa and extensions; if any of you could help me out with them that would be great:
1. Is it possible to apply for a tourist visa after I arrive in Thailand? Google seems to say no but I couldn't find a clear answer.
2. Is the maximum extension on the 30-day stay the 60-day Covid extension? Making the maximum stay 90 days? Any way to stay longer than 90 days, perhaps through multiple extensions?

If you are really interested in doing this, ask on a Visa board like The Thaiger or AseanNow.

🔴 Good news for people on the special covid stamp. On this Immigration letter released today, it says that the deadline to apply for the stamp has now been extended to 25th March 2022. However, they add that they will be even stricter than before.
I will need to consult with some visa experts, but it looks like people with Visa on Arrival (Section 3) and Non-Immigrant Visa (Section 5) can no longer use the covid stamp to extend their stay in #Thailand. I will add more information soon.
Update: I've spoken with someone in Immigration and this is what I understand from that conversation:
If you have VOA you cannot change to Covid stamp.
If you have a Tourist Visa you can change to Covid stamp after you've extended it for 30 days.
If you have a Non be, for example, and you lose your job, you cannot change to Covid stamp.
On some other questions they will get back time. But Immigration should be releasing some infographics tomorrow.

Then the situation was reversed, Spain ok, Portugal not ok. If a simple hop like that is so problematic, what chance has a longer one (with stop overs)?

That's a good description to line out the risk you undertake by going to Thailand now. Because Omicron virus does not always appear on first test, there is always the potential that you were infected on your journey to Bangkok so even if you stayed in your hotel for day 2- 5, you could still test positive because of a prior contact. The whole reason for the the additional testing on Day 5 is because some tourists and citizens entering the country in late 2021 were tested as negative and then discovered afterwards that they had been infected on their flight or traveling to airport or whatever.
But is it a steadfast rule that you have to go to hospital if you tested positive on either day 1 or 5 or can you stay isolated in your hotel?
It would still suck as you pointed out as that means up to 16 days you are in limbo, either in a hospital or quarantined. The risks might be small but who knows given the virulence of Omicron. IMHO, I am taking a hard pass on traveling there at the present time. Also, since the clubs are closed and the drink curfew is at 11 pm, it is also another reason not to bother. It seems the joy has left the city for late night carousing, mongering, or just wandering about in the wee hours.

Posts: 1056Mexico's Second Link
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-ad...y-requirements#entry-rules-in-response-to-coronavirus-covid-19.
Mexico's second link did not come up properly so there it is above. I am moderated here, meaning I cannot edit my own posts and must wait until they are approved. This is because a former USAID fat cat, who lives in the Philippines and who has never posted one, single solitary report but it here for other, more sinister reasons, objected to me calling prostitutes he has never met and I have skanks, just as one might call them hookers (an Americanism) or whatever.
As regards your points about various regions of Mexico having different rules, they do not control border entry, which is a privilege that can be denied even to citizens as we have seen during this Covid baloney. I have forfeited several flights during Covid because of that. Hotels next week have told me I must produce certs on arrival. Fancy arriving late at night with no certs. You'd be out with Jesus, Mary and Joseph hoping to get into a shed with a water buffalo.
Davos is winding up now. And so too is Covid. This is so even though several. France, Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Austria / Germany and more have, along with the Nazi state of Australia, draconian laws.
The rule of thumb now is one must check multiple sources before travel for things like locator forms.
Mongering is now a matter of logistics, of putting an increasing number of ducks in order. In the past, mongers hit BKK and Pattaya only. Travel anywhere beyond them was too exotic, too much hassle. Now they too are too much hassle because of too many rules by too many bodies.
