All foreigners in Thailand who want to register for a free Covid vaccination by the Thai government can register for it from June 14. You can do this via the Intervac website of the Ministry of Health.
Foreigners in Thailand: Registration for Covid vaccination only for 60+ and risk groups
Foreigners in Thailand who want to register for a Covid vaccination can only do so if they are over 60 years old or fall under the aforementioned risk groups.
Due to a new digital strategy, the Flemish Minister of Media (Benjamin Dalle) has indicated that he does not want to renew the collaboration with BVN after July 1, 2021. As a result, BVN will become a 1% Dutch channel from July 2021, 100, with more space for programs of the NPO.
Procedure for return to family in Thailand
Yesterday you were able to read in the message from the Dutch embassy that various groups from Europe can travel to Thailand again, including people married to a Thai national. If someone wishes to be considered for this, they must contact the Thai embassy in The Hague (for Belgium, the Thai embassy in Brussels).
Dutch and Flemish people who emigrate to another country stick to their own language and culture. This is evident from the very first worldwide inventory of the preservation or loss of the Dutch language, culture and identity.
The Ministry of Social Affairs may not simply cut benefits when a Dutch person lives in Thailand or elsewhere abroad, writes De Telegraaf.
Kompas, the online crisis registration system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will be discontinued
A number of Dutch expats in Thailand are registered with 'het Kompas', the online crisis registration system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This service will expire on 25/04. From this date, you will no longer receive messages if there is a crisis situation. This will be replaced by the 24/7 BZ Information Service.
ABN AMRO will close bank accounts of Dutch people outside Europe
Annoying news for Dutch people who live permanently in Thailand and who bank with ABN AMRO. The bank has announced that it will close the bank accounts of at least 15.000 private customers.
Today, Dutch people abroad can contact the 24/7 BZ Contact Center if they have problems, questions or advice. For example about passports, travel advice and legalisations. But also in case of emergency. Think of admission to a foreign hospital or loss of a travel document.
Logged in 200 million times with DigiD
The Dutch have already logged in 200 million times this year with their DigiD. This is a growth of 21% compared to 2014 and a doubling compared to 2013. This increase shows that the Dutch are increasingly arranging their government affairs digitally.
BVN can now also be viewed worldwide via the internet
Good news for winter visitors and expats in Thailand. After a test period, the television channel BVN can now be seen worldwide via the internet.
