visa extension

The Thaiger 2 days ago,,,

Thailand’s Immigration Bureau is considering extending the current visa amnesty for foreigners stranded in Thailand. The Foreign Ministry’s deputy spokesperson made the announcement at this morning’s daily Covid-19 briefing by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration.

The Cabinet’s last resolution was to grant an automatic visa extension for foreigners stranded here to stay until July 30. The deputy spokesperson asked for patience and said the bureau’s decision on the subject will announced soon.

Its going to be worse if they impose quarantine rules on the border runners as well. I cannot see a relaxation anytime soon.

even if your clear to return from Laos there will be 4 months backlog of people whos O visas need renewing all turning up in the same week, the border will be heaving and getting a room might even be an issue

Maybe that why they are looking at extending the period after the 31st to ease congestion

Well not really, since there is a computer booking system they have been using for quite some time. You need to book before hand, and this limits the number of people per day using the consulate.

Plenty 2-star hotels around Udon that opened over the past 2 or 3 years which are empty right now. Nice little earner as quarantine digs if needed.

Of course the wait list for a fan room on Soi Sampan will be huge...
