I may be wrong but, I have not read anywhere that suggests that the amnesty covers extensions etc.

the amnesty was set up to cover people who had come to Thailand on a visa obtained from outside Thailand, or an entry stamp. These people did not intend to stay here indefinitely, and therefore, would have left before their visa or stamp expired.

since Covid and restrictions, they could not leave. Therefore they bought in the amnesty.

Those people staying here long term on extensions etc etc did not intend to leave so where not caught here . Those people would normally extend the extension as normal, therefore the amnesty does not apply.

If you are one of those with and extension for marriage or retirement etc, then, I believe, as I have done, you should have applied for new extension as per the expriy date etc etc.F indedd, on going to IO office in Jomtiem, the only section open was the extension desk etc. 

As I say, I mey be wrong, but under all the literature I have seen, that is how I would interpret the amnesty. 

Even Karen on Facebook cant give a definitive answer.  

What? Salmon coming in without masks and not being 14 day quarantined ???

once again blaming anything but themselves !!!

A certificate from Immigration that details who you are and confirms where you live. It is needed for a Thai driving licence, buying a car or motorbike and opening a bank account (usually). Useful little document, that has a validity of one year.  

It does not last a year, it is only valid for three months max. 

I thoight immigration did not likr fixed accounts as they want to see that you a tually have funds for living on daily basis and see the account being used ??? 

Im guessing it is fir faster trains, maybe not actual ‘“ high speed “ rail. You will notice they are building overpasses at ever road crossings, since they can ot rely on Thais stopping at a barrier, so im guessing it will be faster rail than present.

there is approval for High Speed track from Bangkok to Utapao airport, but this is not started yet. 

Im with AIS, kept getting strange text messages asking to subscribe to various things, I ignored and deleted them. But then noticed credit had disappeared. Went to AIS shop, she put various codes into phone and all stopped. Obviosly didnt get credit back !! LOL. 

Just got following from Bangkok IO.

obviously the bottom line is relevant, some offices sticking to this I guess.

Two things, if he rescued him from Udon, why take him to Hua Hin rather than Bangkok to get a flight home .?

and why does he need a Go Fund Me account “ with thousands “ to get him home ? Last time i checked, a direct flight back with Eva to Heathrow is around £700 right now . 

It is the same as before, go to Jomtiem and take copies of updated bank book etc etc. Basically, the visa amnesty etc does not affect the retirement extension system. 

Did mine couple of weeks ago, using 800k. As you say, only few in queue, was only there for about 25 mins. That section at immigration appears to be the only section in use right now, since no 90 day and visa amnesty for those who cant leave etc. 

So many people here just think that, if city hall or government make a rule or statement, it does not apply to them. Another post on here was trying to Get sympathy for french guy fined for being on the beach.

rules are rules, and if people just obeyed them they would not get into <deleted> !! 

Chonburi said that, when Pattaya is locked down on 14th April, they would test 2800 foreigners within Pattaya. I have yet to see this happeninG.

It depends.

But, I will leave it at that. ????

Depends on what ? How does he get round no entry stamp and no arrival card ? Visa offices may be good, but they dont forge those bits. 

This needs to be updated, as it is now confirmed that he is a 32 year old Thai with mental issues and has been arrested etc.

Many smart tv claim to have internet etc etc,  ut they have cut down versions of browsers and different versions of Android. I had a Toshiba tv which had full browser capability and could therefore download APK files to add apps etc. I now have Sharp Aquus, and the browser on this is extremely limited. Even Google play store is restricted

without knowning the model etc of your tv it is difficult to know the set up.

when i bought it, the sales info says its full smart tv, but it is not.

fortunately i have Apple TV box and seperate Android box, so it is not really a problem etc.

Best advice - go to local Immigration Office and ask them exactly what they want. This is because the Immigration Offices here all seem to interpret rules differently, therefore some will accept what others wont.

people give sound advice on here, but then you turn up at you local IO and they tell you something totally different. 

As the more pedantic members keep stating, its the Extension of Stay you are needing, as opposed to the actual visa. 
you can apply early but will need, as some have said, a valid reason, paperwork to back this up, copy of exit flight ticket etc etc. 
But I see another problem which may occur. You say you are using 65k income method, clearly, if applying two/ three months early, you do not have the full 12 month history of income. Some Immigration Officers are not going to like that. So you need to go along and check this at your specific Immigration Office. Do not necessarily rely on advice on here for this, as different Offices interpret the rules differently.
