Good attitude buddy. I go to Vietnam every month and "lost" my multi entry to Vietnam. Not big deal. Small change in scheme of things.

Indeed it is ???? cheer mate

OP, as others have pointed out, your covered till July 31.

As for above posts critical of imm officers, they are clerks. In similar way to bank staff. They know how to process routine.

This is all bit new landscape. You lost 1900.

Many others in same boat.

Yeah I’m really not bothered about losing the 1900 baht , it’s what I would normally pay anyhow , I was more concerned that I might have missed out on the automatic extension/amnesty , I’m happy I’m included in the amnesty until end of July ????????

As I see things, you did waste that money, better get a little used to it over here, as the first amnesty until April 30th, was valid for tourist visa, which you happened to posses. The new amnesty goes for ALL kinds of visa having expired on May 26th or later, including your prolonged tourist one, nice to have but unneeded, until July 31rd ("or until the situation resolves", which might rather mean it could be prolonged than they will call it off sooner; stay tuned, as always).

 

Hence, as I see things (my westerner lawyer's thinking only holds true around here to some point, but has proven to work in general until now), you are covered until your flight back late July, as by that time your present visa will "have expired on May 26th or later."

From my understanding both amnesty’s are for visas that have expired on MARCH 26th and after , 

where do you get MAY 26th from ???

Obviously I would not of wasted my money if immigration had of told me on the 8th of April that I didn’t have to extend my 60 day tv , you say that the second amnesty is for visas that have expired on MAY 26th or after ???? 

Well my 60 day tv with 1 month extension expires 9th of may 

from what Iv read the second amnesty is for 3 months starting at 30th April to 31st July 

I haven’t read anything that mentions may 26th like you say ???

Had the extension been announced by April 8th?? Sounds extremely scummy to a) leave you unawares, and b) take your money.

From what I’m reading now the amnesty had been Announced by the 8th April , as I said I was at immigration early in the morning, but yeah strange they never bothered to tell me and took my cash 

Thanks guys , I just kind of thought because immigration didn’t bother to tell me about the amnesty and that I had extended and payed as normal that I might of missed the boat on the automatic extension until end of July , thanks again for clearing this up for me ????

Please can someone advise me on my current visa situation, ok so I went to chaeng wattana on April 8th to extend my 60 day tourist visa for another month , now I was there early in the morning and they never explained anything to me about the amnesty they just happily took my 1900 baht and gave me my extra month stamp as per usual , so now my tourist visa with 1 extension will expire may 9th , so where do I stand now with the amnesty ? Am I now going to be on overstay after the 9th ? I have a flight back to uk in July , will I have to pay overstay fees ? Or am I part of the amnesty until end of July ? 

 
remember one of the first steps in getting your immigration visit/papers in order is to check the thai offical holiday calendar.  this one in april is chakri day.  i've been during the week of a holiday in the past as i failed to check the holiday calendar. lesson learned the hard way.
 

History of Chakri Memorial Day

Officially known as 'King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke the Great Day and Chakri Dynasty Memorial Day', Chakri Day commemorates the establishment of the Chakri Dynasty by Phra Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) in 1782.
One of King Rama's first acts was to make Krung Thep (modern day Bangkok) the capital of Siam.
Chakri day commemorates the coronation of Rama I but it is also a day for the people of Thailand to recognise the contributions of all the kings in the dynasty.  The current and tenth King (Rama X) of the dynasty is King Vajiralongkorn, who succeeded his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej who died in October 2016.

Thanks for your advise you have helped me a lot

it will be extended from the 8th, the current permitted to stay date (not the date you apply).  monday the 8th is a holiday, which means friday the 5th could be a very busy day at CW.  which means the 4th could be busier than usual.  if you could go earlier in the week, i'd recommend that.

You've posted this question in the wrong forum, this is for visas to other countries.
 
I'll move it for you.

Hoping someone can shed some light ! I came into Thailand on a visa exempt I’m admired until 8th of April , I want to extend at chaeng wattana and was thinking of doing this on the 4th April , Now my question is will they extend it from the 8th the date I’m admited until or will they extend it from the 4th the day I intend to extend ?
