Hi Dr. For Non-B visa renewal, I should go to CW or the new opened location? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallabi Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Interesting question. I'm in a similar situation, I have a 30-day visa exemption, like you, except I've already used my 1-month extension back in April just before the amnesty (unlucky). So from what I understand, this means that if the amnesty isn't extended, I'm basically screwed and I have to leave. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a similar situation as yourself but with a 60 day tourist visa, I used a 30 day extension as well as the covid extension (although I didn't have to use that one technically). I'm just waiting for an official announcement from the Thai government regarding the amnesty, but preparing myself to leave just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonga80 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Me too, I am in the same situation, 60 days tourist visa ended in the end of april, but I extended the 30 days before the amnesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It think they will extend the amnesty for another month but they may state that is it. Either leave or get a extension of some kind. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need 30-day-extension to have enough time for the agent thing, as the processing time is 3-4 weeks and for that it's too late already with the current end of amnesty. Have a good day and thanks for dipping in before hahahah For sure if you did not use up that 30-day extension yet, you can apply for it and it will be granted. Obviously it is best to apply in the final days of the Amnesty, as it will be provided from day of application. In the unlikely case your local IO would not accept it, they would be wrong (it's their province you are applying and they have the final say, so little you can do about that). But since you are here on a TouristVisa, in that case it would just be a matter of applying at a different IO where they will correctly apply the rules and provide you the 30-day extension of stay you are entitled to. So nothing to worry about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are married to a thai national or have a thai dependant child, which would allow you to apply for the 60-day extension of stay for family reasons. > There is of course also the possibility that IO will offer the option to apply for a 'special' 30-day extension to at least give some options for those that cannot (yet) return to their home-country and with land-borders closed cannot make a border-run to regularize their Visa situation. Having experienced IO 'speed of response' during the Non Imm O-A health-insurance debacle end of October, it's possible that such an option would only be announced last-minute (or not).

G950 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 You would have to think that they will announce something this week. Usually they leak rumours, then confirm a few days later. My guess is wednesday 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
