Ron is still in Los Angeles due to more paperwork that must be submitted to the Thai Embassy for approval before he can leave the U.S. on the flight to Bangkok.
He worked diligently to prepare a packet of information that they listed on the website that was required. He needs a long term VISA. Americans have never had to have a VISA to go for 30 days but it is more difficult to leave the country and go back in now due to border closures and restrictions of other countries because of COVID. When we were there in 2019-2020, we made side trips to our safe houses in Laos and Nepal so we went in and out of the country every 30 days. The borders of these countries are still closed so he needs to get a 5-month VISA to avoid this problem.
I will post again when Ron is able to fly and actually arrives in Thailand.
Please pray that these setbacks will end soon and the rest of his trip will go smoothly.
