' I WANT' doesn't work when it comes to immigration. Well it does, because if I didnt want to stay in Thailand, I would have gone back to my own Country back in March 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are telling me there wasn't one flight from February to July that you couldn't get on? You have deliberately done nothing, left it all last minute and invoke chaos, in the hope the chaos and pity sob story will provoke Thai authorities into letting you stay. No sympathies at all. Typical of your style. I live in Thailand on extensions. No issue for myself. I was simply pointing out to any Oz folk that be aware of changes to Au gov policy esp in regard to paying for own quarantine that previously was not required. Was a simple heads up. Take a chill pill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be furious that some people can stay in Thailand under the visa amnesty , possibly because you jumped through all the hoops to get a retirement visa and you think its unfair that others didint have to do that . Dont you have anything better to do than get upset about others getting free visas . Get yourself a life 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utalkin2me Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I feel like if Thai officials were thinking logically, it should pay to enable those here to stay. The current covid stats "prove" they are not infected. Amnesty not extended, they all fly out to places like America. Then when things open you have a hoard of extra virus carriers coming back here to live. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many there are on invalid travel insurances, and at worst not going to cover them for Corona. The cost of Thailand have to possibly care for these international patients if anything goes wrong far outweighs any spending you bring to the country. The bare minimum they need is to ensure all those who are given an amensty get the valid insurance that is being asked of those coming in this month (name the 100,000 worth of insurance and covering for Covid).

Absolutely. The "extension denied- must leave within 7 days" @1,900 baht will always be an option. As of other options, I don't feel embassies will issue letters again, should that be an available option, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
