Going to Thailand is super simple! It's just one step...in 842 parts. Anyone with a few PhDs and a career in government administration could eventually figure it out.
Yes, for a visa exemption or TR tourist visa, you need a return ticket in order to obtain your COE. You can meet this requirement with Onward Travel 😄 this is what I recommend for my clients
Hi, love your channel, you're very clear and thorough, I'm half Thai, half Lao, residing in the U S. I have families in Thailand, and really thinking about visiting. But I'll have to wait until after Covid, I don't want to go through the quarantine. Thank you so much for your info, I did subscribed. Good luck with your channel💗💗
I was excited about moving to Thailand but the more "things I have to do" as well as trying to find a property I like is now making me think twice about moving to Thailand. It's more difficult than going to college.
Wow so informative thank you so much. You’re amazing. Would you be so kind as to please help me answer the following 4 Q: 1), I’m a U.S. citizen in Los Angeles thinking of coming to Chiang Mai April 2021 - September 2021 but have an important job in the USA in October 2021. Is there any chance Thailand could close its borders and I would not be able to return to the USA? 2), Is one able to travel by plane to the beach towns and back to Chiang Mai during 2021 covid? 3). I only want to be in Thailand for 6 months is the STV visa most appropriate? Would an STV allow me in an out of the country? 4). Should I arrive in Thailand without a visa?
Hi Omar! I cannot provide adequate answers to your questions in this small space. If you'd like me to answer questions unique to your situation, I recommend you book a one hour consultation: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=19031429
If I get a 12 month education visa so I can do Muay Thai do I have to stay at one location the entire time or can I do my classes anywhere and any time in Thailand
I have all the above and i am flying from the UK on March 26th, they have brought out new rules flying from the UK on March 8th, i will be retiring in Thailand when i get the visa on arrival, and will not be returning to the UK, what is your thinking on this do you think i will be able to get on the flight?
Hi Gizmo! I handle things from the Thailand side, so I'm unsure what the UK government's policies are.

Some of these comments are so funny! But the humor is based on reality. I have never done anything so complicated in my life of 62 years. The Thai government really likes paperwork. When I thought I was finished then I find out I need a T8 Declaration Form, and something called a "Thailand Plus" for my stupid phone. So they no longer require the "Fit To Fly" certificate... thank you! Arg, arg, arg...
Great video,lots of good info. Just one point, does the health insurance have to be with a Thai company or can it be with a company from your own country. Many thanks
It can be insurance from your home country, but it must clearly state your insured including coverage for COVID. The problem is that most insurers will not provide a document including this.
Thank you Hailey for another great & informative video.🙏 With many people being vaccinated I hope the world can open up and also have much simpler entry regulations soon. I’ll be coming back in October-ish I’m thinking. Let’s hope!😊
Hi Hailey. I met Angela last night in Carlsbad and she sent me your channel. I am looking to relocate to Thailand in September and would love to talk about my options 🙏🏼
Wow, what a wonderful coincidence! You can checkout my website retireinchiangmai.com and when you’re ready, you can book a consultation to discuss further: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956 I look forward to speaking with you! 😊
Thanks Robert! Are you aware of the reduced quarantine time for foreigners arriving after April 1? Now only 7 days if you're vaccinated, 10 if you're not vaccinated (conditions apply). Enjoy your trip! :)
thank you for an amazing channel/video as always! Sorry that's quite off topic but I did watch your visa video and I was wondering if it's doable to get a 60 days visa, take that time to visit multiple schools, stay in Mexico for example for a couple of weeks while applying to the Education visa, and come back to Thailand? Thank you again!!
Happy to help Lorelai! Yes you can do that but the process varies depending on whether you get an Education visa from the Thai Embassy/Consulate prior to arriving, or you change from tourist to Education in Thailand. The school/visa agent that is helping you get an Ed visa can advise 👍
Hi! This will be my first time traveling outside the United States. I’m traveling to Thailand in May with a U.S passport, do I need to go through all those steps?
Hi BK! If you want to learn more about the Elite visa you can watch my video here: th-cam.com/video/OPomEI8kaJY/w-d-xo.html If you are familiar with the Elite visa and want to know the best way to enter Thailand, you can email me: hailey@retireinchiangmai.com
Ok , so I am American married to a thai citizen with a green card in the USA. I want to travel without her to Thailand on the visa you mentioned Non O. Can I do that without her accompanying me?
She does not need to accompany you, you just need to provide documentation to verify your relationship. You can email me if you have further questions hailey@retireinchiangmai.com
Love the info Hailey. Planning on visiting Thailand from the Philippines. I see we are visa exempt (sea nation) but I really need to make sure I have everything set before flying. You made it all possible and convenient in one video. God bless you ^_^
I want to retire I Thailand how can I get retirement money transfer which bank how long I can stay there please let me know which hotel or apartment in Chiangmai; thanks
Hi, great video, thank you. In video you stated that you need the COVID ($100,000) insurance for the duration of stay. I applied for a A-O VISA which I received and I have also received the CoE, but my Embassy stated that I only needed a 3-month duration on the COVID ($100,000) insurance as long as I have health insurance for the duration of my stay. If the embassy has given me the wrong information and Thailand does require a 1 year COVID ($100,000) insurance, can I simply just purchase the remaining 9 months of insurance after I enter Thailand?
Hi John! Every Embassy processes things a bit differently. Since they are the ones that provide you with the necessary documentation to enter Thailand (non OA visa and COE) you should follow what the Embassy says. The COVID insurance requirement is only a requirement to ENTER Thailand. There is no COVID insurance requirement once you’re already here 😊
I'm new subscribers here I'm from philippines we plan travel by may to spend time how about if we stay 1 month ,how that works a visa exemption me from philippines ,and my fiance' from philippines , wishing can hear answer thank you
Hi! New subscriber here! Great video! My husband and I will be volunteering our time in moving there permanently to work with a foundation (not in Chiang Mai, though we will visit there and volunteer as well). We were planning on coming on a B visa, but now, I'm wondering if we should come on a different one to simplify the process and then, switch to a B visa once there. Thoughts?
Hi Aligwhit! It’s best you talk to the foundation. It is most likely more expensive to get in Thailand. Volunteer visas are Non O so you must the getting a working visa if it’s Non B. Non O Volunteer was previously only obtained outside of Thailand, but because of COVID some Immigration offices will change your tourist visa in country but for a high fee. However switching from tourist to Non B in country is and always has been possible.
I have a doubt. If I compile the process to get the insurance appared this message : "You will be covered worldwide except in your country of permanent residence". But if I make an Elite Visa and so I would like to get Permanent Residence in Thailand is it still valid?
Well first let me clarify that having an Elite visa does not establish permanent residency in Thailand. It is essentially a long term tourist visa. This ACS insurance is just travel insurance, so the maximum amount of time you can get it is 12 months. It’s actually very good expat coverage that my insurance broker recommends, separate from the covid requirement to enter Thailand. He suggests long term expats (including Elite expats) get this coverage for their first 12 months in Thailand then switch to local coverage later.
Hey sorry, I want to ask if I go to Thailand to tourism for 30 days, and my country is under the list for visa exemption, do I still need to apply for TR visa? Or I should just get Certificate of Entry (CoE)?
Hi Hailey, I did all the requirements including the COE certificate to get back to Bangkok and I would like to correct something : COE certificate is NOT valid for 15 days Cuz it’s linked to your arrival date at Suvarnabhumi airport that’s why it’s valid for the information it includes which is your departure date and arrival date at Bangkok. In the other hand after you get the pre- approval from the Thai embassy you will need to use the 6 digits ( provided by the Thai embassy for you ) to complete and upload the rest of the requirements ( ASQ flight tickets and again the health insurance ) and once you use the 6 digits to do so you will have ( 15 ) days counter to provide and upload the 3 mentioned documents. The 15 days validation is for after the pre- approval to upload ASQ flight tickets health insurance, NOT the validation of the COE certificate otherwise the Thai embassy will not provide you the COE certificate if your flight is more than 15 days from the date where the COE certificate is been approved for you by the embassy. Just a lil correction ☺️
Happy to see you made it from Iraq Salwan! Yes you are correct! Back in December when a client said their COE expired, it was actually the code that expired. My misunderstanding. You are correct Salwan - it is the 6 digit code that is valid for 15 days 👍
Hi Robin. To meet the monthly income method you must show proof of deposits in your Thai bank account for 12 consecutive months. If you are just relocating here, then that's not possible for your first year.
Good information. I'm hoping they will open to people who have had the shots already. We have a place in Surin and we're stuck in California. My wife is Thai and she refuses to quarantine. And I think Thai citizens can do it for free. Couldn't I just use my Blue Cross/Blue Shield with a document from them saying We're covered. We're moving there permanently. We only travel with Eva air. The best we've used. Thanks for taking the time to share this information🙏👍Like 111---stay safe
Anything over 3.5 months will require a semi-long term visa. There are too many factors (age, finances, time commitment) to provide a recommendation only based off the time frame. If you'd like to discuss further you can email me: hailey@retireinchiangmai.com
Hello, I looked at the insurance and does the policy also cover my additional 400,000 baht health insurance required if I am applying for STV Visa? Thanks
Hi Guy! I emailed you back yesterday about this 🙃 I do not recommend STV and do not assist with it, so I do not know the fine details and whether or not it would meet the requirement
I have a question for you guys, I did the fit to fly COVID test, but I just get one certificate document included test results and fit to fly certificate , and the Thai embassy requirements (fit to fly must be separate from COVID test) I don’t understand it, should I need to do one more COVID test again? My flight is on 7th March .
Hi. New subscriber here! I like your video. I would like to ask as well, I am from the Philippines, and applying for a tourist visa coming May, since Philippines is excepted for visas it means I just need to apply for COE? Hope to hear from you soon
Correct, with the visa exemption you just need a COE and other requirements necessary to enter Thailand (listed in the description of this video). Thanks for subscribing Mary! ❤️
Your welcome T Man! I’ve read that people with visas can depart from the UK. Depending on your situation and eligibility, that may be a way to get out. For updates, check out the Facebook page “Thai Expat UK (LDN) to Thailand travel during COVID-19”
You're correct, I did not! I tried to go in depth with the requirements that are commonly misunderstood or complex, and listed all requirements in the video description
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist Yes you did, and it's a great video, probably the best I've seen. I've been over 9times to Thailand and with the current apocalypse going on, your video is awesome at explaining how to get there! Thank you for all your advice and knowledge!!!!!
Technically this is not possible (Education visas are issued by Thai Embassies and Consulates outside of Thailand) but some formal schools and some Immigration offices have ways to do this. If you are looking to do this in Chiang Mai, contact me. Hailey@retireinchiangmai.com

USEFUL TIP FOR EVERYBODY : Insurance does not need to cover one year. In fact you can register for a cheap plan and cancel it when you arrive. There is no insurance requirements anyway for changing or extending visas in the country.
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist ..the Phils has more tropical beaches, waterfalls and everybody speaks English not to mention zero visa issues and much cheaper. 😀✌🏼
Hi Hayley your videos referring to retiring or wanting to emigrate to Thailand is this only retiring to Chaing Mai or to other places that one wants to go to ?? Your E - Mail address would be gladly appreciated

Hi Robin. To meet the monthly income method you must show proof of deposits in your Thai bank account for 12 consecutive months. If you are just relocating here, then that's not possible for your first year.

Hello, I looked at the insurance and does the policy also cover my additional 400,000 baht health insurance required if I am applying for STV Visa? Thanks
Hi Guy! I emailed you back yesterday about this 🙃 I do not recommend STV and do not assist with it, so I do not know the fine details and whether or not it would meet the requirement
Thank You for the information. !!
I have a question for you guys, I did the fit to fly COVID test, but I just get one certificate document included test results and fit to fly certificate , and the Thai embassy requirements (fit to fly must be separate from COVID test) I don’t understand it, should I need to do one more COVID test again? My flight is on 7th March .
Hi, just seeing this now! I would recommend two copies so you meet the requirement for each (with separate papers). Did it work out okay?
Hi. New subscriber here! I like your video. I would like to ask as well, I am from the Philippines, and applying for a tourist visa coming May, since Philippines is excepted for visas it means I just need to apply for COE?
Hope to hear from you soon
Correct, with the visa exemption you just need a COE and other requirements necessary to enter Thailand (listed in the description of this video). Thanks for subscribing Mary! ❤️
Thank you for this info.
Unfortunately the UK isn't allowing anyone to travel unless they meet special circumstances.
Your welcome T Man! I’ve read that people with visas can depart from the UK. Depending on your situation and eligibility, that may be a way to get out.
For updates, check out the Facebook page “Thai Expat UK (LDN) to Thailand travel during COVID-19”
Very helpful video. Thanks!!
Looking forward to meeting you in CNX Tom!
Do you know any covid insurance for ages 89?
Yes, this covers up to 99 years old.

I don't think you talked about the T8 form that's required too...
You're correct, I did not! I tried to go in depth with the requirements that are commonly misunderstood or complex, and listed all requirements in the video description
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist Yes you did, and it's a great video, probably the best I've seen. I've been over 9times to Thailand and with the current apocalypse going on, your video is awesome at explaining how to get there! Thank you for all your advice and knowledge!!!!!
Thanks Greg! ❤️
Thanks Hailey for the updates from Minnesota!
Thanks Theary and Marida! Looking forward to working with you when the time comes
So, with the visa e emotion....how can you complete the elite visa application in 45 days?
I recommend you apply at least one month prior to departing for Thailand.
Super helpful to us, especially in the US, looking for an exciting change. Thank you. (:
I am happy to be of help! JuniorTennisUSA, I challenge you to a tennis match if you're ever in Chiang Mai!
Hiiii. I'm a Filipino now in Saudi Arabia. I'm looking forward to relocating in Thailand..
Is there an age limit to apply for a student visa ?
Not for the visa, but some schools may have an age limit.
can i enter on visa exemption and then get an ED visa in TH ?
Technically this is not possible (Education visas are issued by Thai Embassies and Consulates outside of Thailand) but some formal schools and some Immigration offices have ways to do this. If you are looking to do this in Chiang Mai, contact me. Hailey@retireinchiangmai.com
Thanks ... very helpful 🙏🏼 khrap

That’s a compliment I haven’t heard before! Thanks Steve! ❤️
USEFUL TIP FOR EVERYBODY : Insurance does not need to cover one year. In fact you can register for a cheap plan and cancel it when you arrive. There is no insurance requirements anyway for changing or extending visas in the country.
👏 Nice tip! Yes, the insurance requirement is only to enter Thailand. No insurance requirement when you're already in country :)
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist so how many day a least to buy insuranece?
@@naichanrack4409 depends on the visa. For most, you need it to cover for you the length of the visa
Wow what great advice. จุบๆ
ยินดีค่ะ ☺️
No tourists visas
Tourist visas are allowed entry into Thailand. You can contact your closest Thai Embassy or Consulate 🙂
The embassy is assisting. The process changes to diff kinds allowed. The old tourist visa is not issued. The special one is allowed.
Thank you
You're very welcome Robert 😊
So few steps....what could possible go wrong...and thailand is famous for giving refunds if it does...

All we need to enter he Philippines is our suitcases.😀
Nice Dan the Man! I gotta take a trip to the Philippines!
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist ..the Phils has more tropical beaches, waterfalls and everybody speaks English not to mention zero visa issues and much cheaper. 😀✌🏼
Yes, I’ve heard parts of the Philippines are heavenly! When the world opens up, you’ll have to take me to see the best of the Philippines!

Hey Steven! No that’s not true, you need to show a bank statement with a minimum of $700 USD to get a TR visa
