I have a friend English, married to a Thai, they are both in the UK. If she was in Thailand he could come over as spouse. Could they travel over together or would she have to travel first.

I don't know if they can travel together, but she could return and he follow although it would take some time.

This facebook group has a lot of people from everywhere so may want to join and ask here

Spouses of Thai nationals can return to Thailand, but the requirements and associated paperwork are rather onerous.

This from the London Thai embassy.

For family members of Thai nationals (spouse/child/parent)

While Thailand still puts in place travel restriction, spouse or child or parent of a Thai national can apply for the Certificate of Entry to go to Thailand.

Required documents, which must be submitted by email to csinfo@thaiembassyuk.org.uk :

1.Your passport copy and your spouse's or child’s or your parent's passport copy
2.A copy of your Thai visa (if already expired, you have to apply for a new one)
3.Copy of marriage certificate or birth certificate
4.Copy of health insurance policy which covers COVID related medical treatment and coverage of no less than 100,000 USD
5.A copy of a hotel booking for Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) at one of the hotels approved by the Thai authorities
6.Other supporting documents (if any), such as if you own a property in Thailand
7.Declaration form, duly completed and signed

If you already have valid visa or re-entry permit, please send your documents for the Certificate of Entry by email to visa@thaiembassyuk.org.uk

If your visa has expired or you do not have visa, you have to apply for both the Certificatea of Entry and visa at the same time.

* Documents in 4-7 cannot be uploaded in the e-visa system, so you have to provide hard copies when submitting your passport.

http://www.thaiembassy.org/london/en/se ... visas.html

What you need to present at airlines check-in counter and upon arrival in Thailand:

1.The Certificate of Entry
2.Declaration form
3.Fit to Fly health certificate (within 72 hours before departure)
4.Medical certificate with a laboratory result indicating that COVID -19 is not detected (COVID test must be by RT-PCR method), issued within 72 hours before departure
5.Copy of your insurance policy which covers COVID and no less than 100,000 USD
5.Copy of your confirmed booking at an ASQ hotel
6.T.8 form

It is getting on the limited flights that seems to be the biggest hurdle. Not a chance this month and no info on next month yet.

Sadly, he will have to wait until tourists are let back in.
