Questioner: Adrian

I will receive my second Pfizer vaccination on May 30 and would like to know if there are any details about traveling to Phuket?

1. When is that possible?
2. Is a Certificate of Entry required or anything else to travel there?
3. Can I continue to Chiangmai after my stay on Phuket?
4. Are there travel companies that offer trips there?
5. Can I reapply for my retirement visa afterwards?

Thanks in advance for the information.

1. Thailand is not closed and you can travel to Thailand/Phuket at any time. However, you will have to take into account the Corona measures / requirements applicable at that time to travel to or enter Thailand. You can find out which ones are when you go on the website of the Thai embassy.

2. Yes, a CoE is currently still required and what you need to obtain it can be found on the website of the Thai embassy.

3. Yes, you can normally travel on if you have met the income requirements of Thailand. At the moment you have to take into account that additional measures also apply to travel between provinces and that may include an additional quarantine. Which they are and whether there are still any when you start traveling, I cannot predict now.

4. I don't know. Perhaps there are readers who can help you further here. I read positive things from Greenwood travel. They are based in Bangkok and also guide you from visa application to your stay in Thailand. But personally I have no experience with it. Maybe contact us for the details: GreenWood Travel

5. A “Retirement visa” does not exist. Everyone always calls it a “Retirement visa” for convenience and then I have to guess. So I don't know if you are talking about, among other things, a “Non-immigrant O” visa based on “Retirement”, or a year extension based on “Retirement”.

You cannot extend or reapply for a visa. As a “Retired” you can only extend your period of residence with a Non-immigrant O by one year and if you meet the conditions.
