Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Hi Guys , any loophole method to enter Thailand ? Heard only those on medical tourist , work related can enter . Trying to find an alternative , don’t mind being quarantined for 14 days just to enjoy the remaining 7 days 😭

There is no "loophole" per se, but SG has started RGL talks with TH so you may enter Thailand soon if you have a business invitation from a local TH company. The 'medical tourist' program is highly selective so a less pricey procedure such as a dental appointment will not cut it.

Come October, you may travel to Phuket and quarantine in a villa there under their "Safe and Sealed" program for 14 days before they let you out to access other provinces. This is fairly dubious as they also mentioned they may keep you for a further 7 days for a total of 21 days under 'resort quarantine' if your health checks don't clear their criteria. This program may not be available for SG as it seems like it is operated via charter flights only so likely it is directed for Chinese tourists.

Or if you have 500K THB to spare, you can always apply for the basic level Thai Elite visa which grants you 5 years. They are ramping up that program for people like yourself who are willing to pay a premium to get into LOS.

Sure bo, waste hotel money and waste time in 14 days "jail" leh

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Any kind of loophole will still result in quarantine one la, it's just whether you have to quarantine long or short nia.

I would be very surprised and worried any country that no need quarantine for any incoming person.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Presently Sinkies still need to be quarantined in SG after your trip to Thailand till further notice.
No one in the right frame of mind will go to Phuket n be lock-up in room to be quarantined for 14days or worse 21days! And u even have to pay for your quarantine stay. People will also think twice about going there even if it's free quarantine stay. LOL

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Haha looks like I shall give up on this idea. Getting quarantined is not a issue since I can work anywhere . Can give up about going to Phuket in Oct also, Just found out to be quarrantine in Singapore after being back is more costly than going anywhere for your holidays . Effking 2k for SHN facilities + 200 for swab test . GLHF

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Come back another 14 days also leh........


14 days in bkk pay around sgd 2k, come back sgd another 14 days pay another 2k plus the over price air ticket and test and approval from thai embassy, think total spending at least 5-6k for all these extra......walau, cannot go geylang or siam disco meh? :p

Thai gahmen thinking tourists printing $$$ @ home.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

I was wrong about this that they are directing it to Chinese tourists, the charter flights for “Safe and Sealed” are now announced and there will be 6 flights come 1 Oct from England, Germany, Denmark, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong.

The last I check Elite Visa also can’t enter. Maybe things changed.

I think for existing Thai Elite holders who have the visa already affixed in their passport, they can apply for Certificate of Entry to enter Thailand from Thai embassies abroad. It seems Thai Privilege Card Co got the approval on 19 Aug.

But those newly applied members will probably have to wait a few more months as the visa will only be affixed on the first entry into Thailand. Without the visa, one currently can't apply for the Certificate of Entry.

Huh? then why are they desperately promoting TEV? In my facebook and instagram keep seeing their advertisement like it's the best solution.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Later kena sway, send him to the issan quarantine quaters...
use Tents...and fan no aircon...:D

Ads appearing on your Facebook and Instagram feed is fueled by your searches. If you recently have explore and search anything with regards to staying in Thailand it will show up. They used pixels to track your surfing habits and offers adverts similar to what you search for. Like I never like the Shopee fb page or ig but recently I search Shopee for a phone for my gf and suddenly I keep seeing Shopee ads on my feeds. 😅

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

You can request Thai Elite to send the requisite sticker to the Embassy in your country but it might or might not be done.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

News earlier today was this might not get started as planned at all. On the other hand, they also said that a similar program might be started for Koh Samui. I don't think even the government here in Thailand knows what they do at this point. All just talk so far.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

I don't need one and don't remember searching about it for the last 3 years... I think they target demograhics like location and language...

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

I think since Thai Privilege Card Co. is a private company so they are also jumping the gun in the hope to hit sales target and betting that they will be able to lobby the Thai govt to also allow those new applicants in soon...

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Ya they are definitely all over the place now, that new finance minister from K Bank just resigned after less than 1 month for ‘health reasons’... more like cannot take the shock after looking at the books!

Too risk ....
Once caught . gg.com

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Border might be opening soon with risks plan and measurement taken into account...hopefully by Oct...

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

My understanding of that news from yesterday is they will finalize the plan by the end of October. This is for longer term visitors and it will still require the 14 day quarantine. I think they have no idea what to do.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Thailand will want to reopen the borders as soon as possible otherwise protests will continue to increase and economy will collapse.
This is true to all countries globally.
It's almost close to 1 year of border closure for leisure travel! :eek:

Like it or not the Thai government will try to speed up the process unless #10 wants to subsidise the entire Thai economy. :D

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Nah the news is out today via bangkok post,if i remembere correctly.
Its not only for the long term stayers...its basically open up for most...but with risk plan and measures in place..well, you cant trusts the thai with plans...:D
But i do very much agree that they really should open up...
Really have to learn to live with the virus...
The virus by now would have mutate till infected person will have no symtoms and if really in worse case, go see doctor and get treated and get well...

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Agreed, they can't stay shut indefinitely. Practically every inland town I go to is empty these days.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Well, that's good news then!
Yup, can't keep the country sealed off forever. It just has to be dealt with. As you say though, plans and locals... hahaha!

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

The economic pressures will force governments to reopen borders eventually with or without a vaccine! :cool:

Malaysia is already lobbying for Jan 2021 full reopening of borders with Singapore.

Singapore has also no intention to draw on any more reserves to bail out companies and workers.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Yes, I don't think they have much of a choice, really. That said, another positive case today in Thailand as you might have heard. The guy came to Thailand a month ago but they're insisting he was infected abroad. He did his two weeks of quarantine and now, two weeks later, he tested positive.

Re: Loophole to enter Thailand.
 

Haha, yes! Impossible to have had it for so long, almost a month, and have so many negative tests.
