Not quite.

 

I haven't yet returned (my reason for this is personal and I don't intend to discuss it here, except to say that there are serious medical reasons involved which connect to the Covid 19 situation. I do have a projected return date but, as above, I'm not going to discuss it here).

 

I have several times asked Thai Immigration Division 1, by e.mail, to confirm:

• no final return date has been fixed, or
• the final return date.

They have replied (usually about 10 days after my mail) and confirmed no return date has yet been fixed, same as in the message in the graphic just below from:

I check this facebook page every day to see if there's any new announcements, so far nothing.

 

From another source i've seen mention that the extension is 'indefinite'.

 

Earlier, when desperate to get any information I spoke to a snr officer from Division 3 (pleasant guy, perfect English and please note: Div 3 aren't responsible to fix the final return date, that's Div 1). He mentioned that PR holders have a 'visa for lifetime', and the final return date is a minor administrative item, so there is no need to be in a hurry to fix the final return date. He also mentioned that he has no specific knowledge of when an announcement might be made by Div 1.

 

I plan to send a mail again to Div 1 in late September to hopefully get a further confirmation:

• no final return date has been fixed, or
• the final return date.

Hi.... Just wanted to check has there been any further update on this?

In all my years of holding PR, I have never had my finger prints taken when getting my multiple re-entry permit at immigration in Ubon. Is this a new practice? My last multiple re-entry was in January so I will see what happens when I get my next permit in 2019.

At CW, I got finger prints put on the ledger book last year as well as this year. May be that's their way to put on record that the PR Holder physically visited the Immigration Office to renew re entry permit instead of sending a proxy.

Yes it's pretty efficient these days; I did the same last month in roughly the same time.One question.Did the officer actually need the PInk ID card? I had mine in my wallet and didn't think for a moment it would be needed (It wasn't - at least she didn't ask for it)

No, she didn't ask for Pink ID Card. I just put it along with other documents. She saw it and returned it back to me without any comment.
