See if you can edit the date of the document in a pdf editor and then submit to immigration and get your extension. Debating doing this myself , but unsure how much immigration checks into these letters. I had one from March as well

Canada doesnt. Got an email from them stating that.

Never lose control! Don't let the guests take charge! They want everyone to know they and not the visitors are the ones in charge, even if they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Knowing who the boss is, is the most important consideration. Agreeing that what you say makes sense would be far behind. Having said that, they may still change their collective "minds" by the 26th if they can make it seem like a toss-off aside.
Thing is this..... if they do change their minds next week, wont it be too late. Myself and others are making the necessary arrangements to leave so that includes booking flights and renting apartments in other countries already. If a new announcement comes out next week, then isn't it a bit too late as people would've already spent the money and packed to leave this place?

In Mexico, an expat is considered an "honorary Mexican" after just trne years of residency. But having said that, the Mexicans are better educated, less racist, have more knowledge and perspective, are more graceful and infinitely less ignorant than the officials are here.
Reading this makes me want to learn Spanish and head over to south america. It's something ive been considering for a while. Basically run my online business from there whilst living in various countries (Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina) without all the visa hassles and such (Most allow 3 months and then there's various hassle free ways to extend). As well I get the feeling I'd be treated better by locals and from friends who've lived there... they've loved every moment of it.

Thanks for all your replies.
I am surprised about so many of you mentioning/recommending lazada, shopee etc. Aren’t you worried at all about the origin/quality of those products? I mean, I regularly shop on these sites for whatever „hardware products“ but never for „medical“ products that I would actually consume. I had always considered that to be way too risky. Hmmm, maybe I have to think about it again.
Thanks again!!! You’re great! ????????
So from from shopee I've purchased Psyllium husk, Inulin, Whey protein, Almond flour, almond extract, and a bunch of other things. Never had any issues and product quality has been superb. Be sure to buy from reputable store and just make sure the product has been review several times by others and you're good.

@ OP, as well you can get the Fibely powder drink from Watson. Great of digestion, and this is coming from someone that always had an issue in that department.

You're too logical for the Thai government mate. What U just described is a quick simple and sensible solution. They'd toss that out the window and instead ask U to bring the food cart lady with U to Immigration to testify that you do in fact reside where you say you do ahahahha.

Maybe we should start a thread at the beginning of September talking about all the options available.
Yes fully agreed. Creating an overall list of options and plans that can be executed so that people can decide. This approach is much more beneficial than the usual threads of "What will happen come this date" or so on

You only forget that the typical longstayers here will all think like that, as it always is at embassies or at immigration (last minute all come), you might have a hard time getting papers and tickets in time. If im not wrong there is like 50K ppl that leave soon. And being late means blacklist.
VERY TRUE, and perhaps I should consider maybe starting to book things from now just to avoid any issues.

Here's my plan....
Around mid September I'll see if there's murmurs about an extension and what news is in the media regarding this.If there's no indication of any sort of extension whether paid or not I will do one of the following below.
1. Obtain an antibody covid test and head over to Bali , which happens to open September 11th, giving me plenty of time to see/hear news coming out of Bali and entering the island.
2. Head to Istanbul, Turkey via Qatar or Dubai which seem to daily have flights going there from Thailand without cancellation (Qatar has 2x daily).
Thailand has been quite gracious and understanding in terms of extending amnesty in past 6 months or so. That being said I know that if i leave , getting back will be next to impossible until 2021.Simple as that. I'll stay in those regions (60 days bali & 90 days istanbul) and after my period there is up I'll see who's opened up then or what the situation is overall.

THANK YOU!! Few people in this thread speaking with common sense in my opinion. None of this compromise/put him up in an apartment/be a father to him nonsense. He's not yours. Never will be. Gentleman... always remember we can ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS find someone better, younger and hotter. Especially one without any strings attached (ie: Kids). We age like wine they age like milk. Assuming she's 35+ something and with a kid.... she cannot possibly offer what a younger woman can. Her value is almost none compared to a woman who's 30 and without a child. So to the OP, why are U putting yourself through that. Get redpilled and walk away for your own good. Also none of this "love" and relationship nonsense. How many men have ended relationships here only to find love elsewhere. It's an emotion that comes and goes as well as can be re-created with someone else.

Not sure about "Vietnamese Noble Girl" but a former Thai GF of mine for 3 years was 50% Vietnamese (father refugee), 25% Chinese and 25% Thai (mother half Thai/Half Chinese). Exotic for sure. Problem was that I was paying for her and her 2 sons (9/11yrs) with schooling was making me broke. When she asked for a raise in "allowance" to 50,000 Thai Baht/Month that was the end.
MGTOW is the way, or the red pill at the least

Without knowing your story, I can't know how you are relating irony to it.
In my case however, im serious.
I chose to leave Thailand because of the Covid.
But as it was, things weren't going great before then.
I could see myself getting groomed as the lone provider, for a lady and her young son, which means it will most likely be a long and endless money pit.
Thais dont really care about you going through all your life savings, as long as its spent on them.
Of course, they know very well that when your money runs out, you will be forced to go home and you will then be "out of their hair"
If you are older, financially set up,
and have future cash streams incoming, then it might not be a big issue.
Me, i am 45, and retirement by Australian rules is a LONG way off.
Thinking about a good 20+ years of expenses..and then how much more $ to see me out??
Its a no-brainer that sinking funds into houses i can't own,
Thai womens offspring, which i shouldn't really be responsible for....
And in a country where you are forced to jump through hoops EVERY year, EVEN when your married!!!.....
well that's suddenly starting to sound real dumb since ive actually got out of the place.
So yes, Covid might have saved me.
Dodged a bullet mate.... you're free now, to do whatever U want, go wherever U want, all hassle free

In my opinion, you will be difficult to tell/teach him what to do or move out as others in this group say. because he is old and I’m not Sure he will obey you. You are. It his dad. Teenager is difficult to teach. Better find the girl without kid. Easier for you. Hehe. Hope you decide smartly.
I agree with this. Honestly he should leave his gf and get a vietnamese noble girl. None of this nonsense

I don't get you guys. Many on here keep banging on about why they want tourists to leave. Does it not occur to you that maybe you're not wanted here. How about maybe, just maybe, they are tired of being called everything but a child of God and would just like to clean house. Or, consider they don't care about the money you've spent or are spending. There is no better time to reset expectations, and maybe massive tourism isn't in the cards anymore - it's been hinted many times over by the powers that be.
And, the incessant number of people calling this their "home" when anything short of permanent residence and/or Thai citizenship makes it so - in spite of the house, condo, car, truck, wife, children, swimming pool, and school tuitions you've perhaps paid for...
I realize this post was originally referring to Indonesia, but I just happen to be in Thailand, and it's the same story regardless.
This true as well

I think you will find they are not exactly tourists 2-3 months after they were scheduled to leave. Many have opted for an extended stay, taking no action to get back home. The whole idea of amnesties was to help those genuinely stranded, not to keep tourism going.
I agree with U, but the people in Bali rely on 1 thing mainly... That's tourism. Y evict the ones already there when U know others arent coming in. Especially not when their governments either don't allow the to fly out or will quarantine them upon returning. Im surprised governments aren't making financially sensible decisions here , especially when U know the overstayers aren't infected.

I really don't get why governments that rely on tourism are so adamant to push out their tourists during times like these when there's a lack of incoming ones. During regular times I get the point of the rules and 30 day limits on stays... but when U have no one visiting and most people can't even visit when U do open borders, why the rush to make them leave. Same with Thailand.

I think you have options, provided you haven't had the '7 days to leave' stamp already (e.g. extension denied). At Jomtien immigration, agents near the queue were openly offering 1-3 month extensions to people waiting - quite pushy about it in fact. Prices started at 15-20k+ from memory. I don't know what kind of visa they use, but I feel it can't be so under the table to openly offer it like this to all and sundry. I read it maybe leverages a medical visa, technically legal but 'off label' so to speak - but really I'm not sure.
Thanks Jacob, much appreciated
March embassy letter for 7 day extension
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
Exactly. 100% correct. That's why it's something im considering/debating since embassy isnt giving an updated one at the moment. Most likely won't do it as it's not worth it .
