    There is only one way to get out of this. Start vaccinate people 24h x 7 , and do it quick, let people with mild symptoms stay at home and recuperate, no need for a hospital bed . Only those with severe symptoms should be admitted to hospital, this will give the nurses, doctors and healthcare professionals  some breathing space and  let them care for those in need, let people live and allow alcohol at restaurants, beaches etc. as it is the mosts important income for the business owners, and stop with this ridicules bans after a certain business hours , Covid is amongs us 24h a day. The government seem to kill everything for the most majority of the Thai population and also the rest of us. It is a shame that such proven incompetence exist 2021...  and forget to open up Thailand if you  can’t execute vaccinations to the vast majority of the population with start immediately...  People want there lives back and they can’t wait forever or maybe even ever. Covid will not disappear...

    Why the need for an experimental vaccine when the survival rate is averaging at 99.6 % in Thailand???

    "As you can see from the regression lines, in the USA there hasn’t been any causality or correlation between the number of positive test cases and actual deaths over time."

     

    False statement using a deceptive image.  Here is the same data from the same graph on a scale that allows readers to see the clear  relationship between death and cases. It is also easy to see the delay between cases and deaths, as it should be.

    No Quarantine or Vaccine Needed For This Growing List of Countries Reopening For Tourism

    in COVID-19 Coronavirus

    Posted

    Just some countries that are now open for tourism, and not requiring tourists to quarantine or vaccinate to enter their country.

    The Full List can be seen here - https://www.traveloffpath.com/countries-reopening-their-borders-for-tourism-the-complete-list

    So my question to you guys is.

    Why isn't Thailand on this list?

    Thailand has one of the lowest death rates from Covid-19. 

    Are the countries below going about reopening wrong?

    Is Thailand with its great Covid-19 record being a bit too cautious with it's reopening schedule?

    When I look at the regularly updated list from the article above it certainly looks that way to me.

    Your thoughts are appreciated indeed!

    I mean 60day extension (familiy) done before 26 Sep. Some people say they got their extension to start from 1 Nov. and some say they did not. Ubon Joe said some time ago to go check at IO and that he is not sure about it. After that not much said about 60day extension (familiy) done before 26 Sep.

    Anyone with some info about this?

    Thanks

    I have a 60 day ext based on family exp on Nov 26th, I went to Satun Immigration and they said my stamp date can't be changed. 

    Do I need to go to an Immigration Office?

    You have to go to immigration and ask for your extension to be changed to start from the 31st of October and end on the December 30th.

     

    I tried this but Satun Immigration won't change the date, they said it doesn't apply to my 60 day extension based on Thai wife.

     

    If I want to stay longer after the 26th on Nov I need to pay another 1900 baht and they will give me 30 days.  ????

    Offered Job After Expired Non O Visa

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Hi Chaps,

     

    My Multiple Non O has expired and I'm now on my extension of stay for marriage / family.

     

    I had a surprise job offer last week which I want to take on. I have 1 week left before I need to go back to laos for another ME Non O Visa

     

    but was wondering, can I go back to Immigration and get another extension of stay but this time for work / more time for documents for a Non B Visa?

     

    Thank you ????

     

     

     

     

    Is it possible to extend the 90 day NON IMMIGRANT VISA for 30 days ?

    That is not correct. You can apply for the extension for any type of entry.

    There is no mention of any visa category in clause 2.24 of the police order for extensions.

    If they do agree to change it to 60 days your wife or child will need to be with you, and they will almost certainly want more paperwork. ID/Tabian Baan (for family member) and maybe a TM.30 (address) report.

    Be aware that different offices make up their own rules, and there is limited oversight to force them to follow the actual rules.  It could be a member of staff is misinformed (can hard to show them otherwise, once they've said something - try to make it look like you "said it wrong" to help them save-face, while showing a Thai-language printout of the rule), or a boss may have made-up the rule for "his" office or desk.  If the latter - oh well.

     

    At some offices, you can come in visa-exempt or TR-Visa, get a 30-day 'tourist' extension, then get a 60-day 'visit wife/family' extension on top of that.  You should (in theory) at least be able to get one 60-day extension - but if they won't do it, you don't have much recourse.

     

    A new Non-O visa in Savannakhet is the solution - avoiding the local office entirely.  I hope you can do that soon.

     

     

    So I went to Imm today with all my documents for a 60 day extension.

     

    The lady I spoke to before saw me first ( just my luck ) checked my form and said I needed to change the amount of days from 60 days to 30, my wife asked why and she just gave her the same answer she gave me.

     

    She said she didn't need the copies of my wife's ID, the marriage or birth certificates... after waiting about 20 mins a superior Imm chief explained to my wife that they did now need the copies of the marriage and birth certificates and that I had to sign a new form which was changed back to 60 days.

     

    Whoopie doo! The superior had corrected the situation or so I thought.

     

    I asked why did they now need the rest of the copies and the superior said I got the 60 days BUT because I did the back to back 30 day visa exempts, I'd already had 30 days of the 60.

     

    So I gave all docs for a 60 day extension in the end but I'm only stamped for 30 days in my passport and a note that says ( 2.24 ) the ext is for family reasons.

     

    Are they're saying the two 30 day exempts we get every year can be deducted from a 60 day ext then?

    Why did I have to sign a new form that said 60 days as the amount only to stamp me in for 30 days?

    Why not just keep the original form which was changed to 30 days? 

     

     

    I noticed the 30 day exempts rule on the wall which said we're entitled to two a year and entering through international airports will not be affected by this regulation, no word of having a max of 6 via airports ( I took a pic of the notice, if anyone needs to see it )
