CampariO Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Why madness? Madness would be giving away the tourist visa without restrictions. Consulates couldn't handle the applications, quarantien hotels would not be availalbe. They are opening step by step and picking now people with money to spend. What would you do instead? Letting everybody in and run around on an exempt stamp and a covid test? This will come sooner or later, but not now.

The long long list of hoops to jump through to get the tourist visa is jaw dropping....Which eliminates 99.999% of tourist.........Its called opening while remaining closed.....O I am sure there will be a few die hard Thailand lifers who are beyond desperate to come back who are happy to have the tourist visa option but for everyone else the tourist visa might as well not exist.... There are a number of countries like Mexico that have no entry requirements what-so-ever, none, zilch....And they seem to be doing just fine....

CampariO Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Getting better already: since today there is a statement on the webpage of the Thai consulate in Hamburg that no financial proof is required for the tourist visa anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
