Until 1 Nov, a lot of more details (and some misinterpreted or wrong information) will come out, and even after 1 Nov changes are possible. I will read reports in November, and if I like what I read, go in December, else wait for further improvement.
Considering that airplanes leave and arrive at all times of day and night, some might come at an unsuitable time and have to stay 2 days. I once read somewhere about a hotel that charges for 24 hours stay, regardless of time of check-in. One could assume that the PCR run around the clock?
Some of the bureaucracy has been removed. But doing everything on the internet adds some new difficulties (there are reports about error messages or data loss for no apparent reason).
Similar in Berlin. Waiting time for an appointment for a visa application is 4-6 weeks. Don't know how long COE or Thailand Pass would take.
