Most "Tourists" Will know nothing about these measures as they dont sit glued to ThaiVisa all day.

More fool them. They should be checking for information everyday.

So, if one's already on extension of stay one still has to go to Immigration to extend?

What do you mean? 90 day report?

My experience with agents (for a friend of course) is that they don't like doing marriage visas and steer you into retirement visas. They do this by making their fee cheaper for a retirement visa. Their eyes glaze over when you go back to wanting a marriage visa. Maybe the "proper" legal firms tackle this but for a hefty fee I'm sure.

Yep, retirement visa's are far easier for them to do as i was told by an agent last year.

Send the wife.????

I arrived in Thailand on the 20th of March on Visa exempt.

I did not used my first legal extension.

 

Do I need to go to Immigration on 18th of April or is this new order giving me immigration-free-time until 30th of April, too?

I believe you do not have to go, wait for someone else to chime in on this.

I would of thought you are ok until the 30th.

Anyone else like to answer this question?

I was reading an article about getting an Irish passport if a parent or grandparent was an Irish national?

Im british, my grandmother passed away a few years ago. She was from Ireland.

Does that enable me to get an Irish passport?

Is it difficult to get?

What is the process?

You can check in, but you can never check out! ????

Think i had it the other week, or it was a really bad hangover.????

Tricky thing is that stamp is not actual extension, it's 'under consideration' and 'must contact in person on 29th'... Anyway I'm sure OP will follow reports from others who will deal with it earlier (Zikomat is 'under consideration' on 23rd and he said he will contact them in advance).

Yes, very true. Under consideration will pobably need a return to immigration.

If this automatic extension is rolled over until may, i dont think you would need to go as you have extended already. Wait until the next announcement to see if its going to be extended again until may.

Correct.

Wait until the final announcement of the announcement.????

37.5 ????????????, i reach 40+ degrees soon as i step of the plane.

Yeah, i wonder if they will be social distancing and wearing masks for song kran.

Probably not.

Well lets just say they are very optimistic if they think this is going to be over by April 30th.

What happens after that?

Wait another 3 weeks for another announcement and wait for another signature?????

Did they get the maximum fine or was it just 500 baht?????

They are struggling to balance safety and security with their unstated goal of utilizing all those immigration fees as a key revenue source for the govt coffers.  That is why other countries in SE Asia were so quick to grant amnesty....because Visa Fees/Fines/Penalties were never a huge source of revenue for them....unlike here.

100 percent agree.

Its all about the $$$€€€£££
