[Thaiger]

Foreigners of a certain age got some good news today as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that expats over 75 years old living in Thailand are now eligible to receive a Covid-19 vaccine in Bangkok. The announcement made this evening goes into effect tomorrow when Bang Sue Central Station will begin to accept qualified foreigners living in Thailand for vaccination on a walk-in basis. Previous vague announcements had said that vaccine opportunities for foreigners were coming soon and rumoured to begin at the end of the month, but this new policy is a welcomed chance for some expats to […]

Over 75?

Is this joke? Most 75 year olds I know are dead! 

For heaven's sake, use your scone Thailand. It IS now a fool's paradise. 

Your reporting of this nonsense without comment is shameful Thaiger.

Get a grip on reality - a "65 years and over" situation would work.

You can't get a Visa at 75 years old. These old codgers will die in the stampede!

Queue jumpers no need to rush. No Queue!

Real news please, fool's!

What is the point? It’s starting to look like several of the vaccines don’t work at all, and the remainder only give you a limited amount of protection for a couple of months. I recently saw the table Of hospital admissions in Israel with Covid, which, soon after vaccination started, the majority of admissions being the  unvaccinated.. Now it has completely reversed to wear Practically everyone hospitalised has been double vaccinated. I don’t understand why Thailand doesn’t follow Delhi, Uttar Pradesh Peru and Mexico with the use of 12 mg of ivermectin for those who start displaying symptoms. Of course that would be a very cheap solution now that its a generic drug and has been since 1996!

chinoxac/chinopharm? no one wants it. dire need to unload that junk and claim they're vaccinating foreigners out of goodness in their hearts.

Can someone else confirm this?

Is it true that farangs over 75 can not get a retirement visa?

 I am far from that age but of course it will come to me in the future.

Absolutely incorrect statement! 

The ThaiGer article stated:

1 - Foreigners over 75 years old living in Thailand are now eligible to receive a Covid-19 vaccine in Bangkok.

2 - To be eligible for a vaccine, foreigners must show proof that you are not a tourist but a resident foreigner in Thailand. A retirement or resident visa, a house registration, or a work permit are examples of what can prove your residency. Your passport will also be required. The offer is only available for those who have never been vaccinated before so anyone with 1 or 2 doses of another vaccine previously are ineligible.

>> There is NO age limit to apply for a Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement, you just need to be over +50 years and meet the financial and other conditions.

When having entered VisaExempt or on a Tourist Visa you can apply for a 90-day Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement, with subsequent applications for 1-year extensions of stay based on that original Non Imm O Visa.  When having entered Thailand on a Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement, applied for at a Thai embassy/consulate abroad, you can of course also apply for subsequent 1-year extensions of stay.

Majority of the +75 years old that will apply for that jab, will be staying already long time in Thailand on such a 1-year extension of stay based on their original Non Imm O (or O-A) Visa.

Note: An interesting question is whether those +75-year old staying on a 1-year extension of stay for another reason than retirement (e.g. for marriage to a Thai national or with thai dependent children) would be eligible.  I am as good as certain that that will indeed be the case, even if the extension-stamp in their passport does not read 'retirement' but 'marriage'.

No it wouldn't!

 

Offer AZ you don't have to foreigners "65 years and over" and you'd be deploying the water cannon and rubber bullets to stop the stampede.

 

Instead offer Sinovac to foreigners over 75 living in Bangkok, and you can take the day off ....

Foreigners over 75?

The website said 60.

So next week only foreigners over 90 can register? How about people below 60?
