Yes

The amnesty has no effect on your 90 day reporting date.

Thank you UbonJoe

I have been here for 12 years on a Non O visa with annual extensions.

I decided to sit the virus out here in Thailand.

I surmised a few months ago that if I left the country I would never get back in. Does anyone know of there will be a problem getting another extension next year under current rules?

I did my last 90 day report on July 13th...so it is coming due. With the extended amnesty, do I still need to do one before October13th?

Thailand is a victim of its own success. In order to overcome the virus, it was necessary to close the borders. This worked very well, but pretty much only in Thailand. The countries that kept their borders open like UK, US, Europe, India are ravaged with the disease. Thailand can't fully open its borders until the rest of the world gets the virus under control, but with Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro and Narenda Modi in charge of UK, US, Brazil and India respectively then chances of bringing the virus under control seem years away (unless the virus gives up and moves onto some other animal). 

If Thailand reopens its borders to how it was in the past, it is inviting the virus to come back and ravage here. Sadly some businesses, good and bad, will be dragged under and their owners will suffer.

I'm a fat, 67 year, old diabetic and the Thai government's repose has been great for me, but I feel for some of the honest businessmen who have been caught in the downturn, which is not yet over...banks will have to declare their NPLs (non performing loans) and increase their capital reserves....this will mean a tightening of standards for new loans otherwise called a credit crunch which is bad for starting new businesses.

I never met anyone with gout until I came to Thailand....now I hear it all the time, even in young people. Fortunately colchicine is a cheap and effective cure for an episode....but it has many side-effects and a number of drug-drug interactions with a wide range of frequently used medications. Go see your doctor.

He is at every F1 event. Turn up at wherever he is going to be. For goodness' sake they even put his mug shot in the Red Bull pits every race.

same here....5G phone but AIS yet to build infrastructure. I have a 4G SIM

Lock them all up and throw away the key.

Totally agree! END OFF

Wait for second wave when the foreigners start invading the place.

I'm guessing Ivanka will simply assume the Presidency if Trump dies (he's over 70 and fat, so there a a 1 in 20 chance he'll die).

......and so it begins....double the budget and twice the time taken....typical

Going against the current here...have lived in or visited for lengthy periods Pattaya, Korat, Chaiyaphum, Phuket, Koh Chang, Cha am, Hua Hin, Chang Mai.......but Bangkok does it for me......!!!!

Ahhh yes, Bangkok. The stench of sewage, the flooding whenever it rains, the awful humidity, the filthy air, the traffic.....does it for me too ????

Good God.

Isn't there  a higher priority for a crackdown.

In the west smoking has become a disease of poorer people. 

I honestly can't believe this marketing campaign....is Big Joke behind it? They'll arrive by charter flight or private plane....so well heeled farangs expected? Well one of two things will happen.....first these 14,400 tourists will be the start of a 40 million wave of foreign tourists; or two, like the Thai-ness campaign, it will all be quietly forgotten. 

What sort of regulation is there of REITs in Thailand. They were a popular investment in the US some time back but there were issues with some of the more highly leveraged funds.
