Why, just once, can't they make things easy? They should be able to find out which countries have closed borders quite easily. They're not all like Thailand and change the rules three times a day. But that might involve a staff member spending a couple of hours doing some research! They don't want to issue any extensions, that's why. They also know that this letter is almost impossible to get. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leiftheswede Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Well one month sounds a bit ridiculous as almost every flight out of Thailand will be suspended for at least 3 month. Thai Airways, Finn Air, Singapore Airlines and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 What an idiot; who does he thinks he is? I would assume that immigration is under the police, the police is under the interior ministry with a minister in charge. If every Tom, Dick and Harry governor starts his own little rules ..... Embassies will certainly not comply with such idiotic letters and all those foreigners stucked now will remember this for the rest of their lives. They will share this forthcoming assistance with their social circle, and guess what, some will not come to a country with such erratic little farts! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Well I can't speak for other countries, but as far as the UK is concerned the following applies: 'If you are a British citizen you will have right of abode in the UK and cannot be denied entry even without any passport never mind an expired one'. So IMO it would be totally improper for the British embassy to issue a British citizen a letter telling them that: 'sorry, you can't come home'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a multi entry type O. On Tuesday ( the day my entry stamp expired) I went up to Mae Sai to spend a couple of hours in Burma, and get another 90 day entry stamp, but the border was closed. Today they gave me an extension of stay for 60 days (B1900) and fined me for the 4 day overstay (B2000). My wife is away at the moment, and although they were not happy that she was not present, I had all the paperwork and my teenage daughter with me. They copied her ID card, included it in the dossier and questioned her in Thai before issuing the extension. My visa expires before the 60 days is up, and when I asked about how to renew it if the borders are still closed, they didn't know. Lucy tells me however that the immigration lady told her that next time she would have to come with me again. "Next time" - maybe they will be issuing further extensions if the borders remain closed? Who knows? Certainly the B1900s could be a windfall! Edited March 20, 2020 by JAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted March 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2020 And if any of us nasty, dirty, infected foreigners can't get the letter, what then? Interned in an army camp? Jailed? Blacklisted? Forcibly deported? Of course, they would not have thought beyond stage 1 so there would be no answer and it will all be quietly forgotten while they set up a committee. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just buy a ticket and come thailand. But, Thai want to go your country.. 1)Must go your stupid embassy in Bangkok first, 2) Wait long queue 3) Do document so much, what job, etc etc 4) pay money 5) then they so no, no refund. They don’t want “ little ghosts” which will cause, the so much loved by you Thais Japan and Korea , to introduce visas back . That s why. I am from a country that also need visas for different countries , but u won’t find our people blaming the citizens of these countries for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensible thing to do would be to mail this letter from the embassy to the applicant. They just need the personal information, I think there's no need to keep the embassy open to the public for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are nice and offer a 30 day extension for all foreigner, so they should not need to travel and the risks included with that. Then many of you have to laugh and complain about a necessary letter. Always something, right. Can never be happy and satisfied. It´s not strange that our reputation in Thailand has fallen flat, when the only thing so many people do is complaining. Even when they are given a choice. Stop thinking that you are some kind of royalty, and that everything should be given to you on a silver platter. You appear to have the intellect and critical thinking skills of an average Thai government official. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just calling for that, because you do not have anything to argue against the cold hard facts in my post. Your post does not state any facts, only words in the form of "stop complaining". There are many arguments on this thread that go against your "opinion" which you have completely ignored, this merely confirms you are a trolling. Im probably in the same bracket as you in terms of being affected by this however, im not the type of person who will take pleasure from others who may not be as fortunate. I certainly wouldnt lower myself to calling them ass***oles. These are very difficult times for everyone at the moment, even in your prefect world im pretty sure you will have experienced some inconvenience yourself, so please try to be nice. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
