You can fly to Amsterdam and get a connecting flight from there

A citizen of nepal would need a visa for the netherlands which would probably be impossible to obtain outside of his home country.

Where did you get that info from?

My school told me that when I applied for my ed visa.  Others have reported the same thing.

You can get a 30 day extension or a stamp stating your stay is legit until the 26th with a letter from the embassy.

I don't think you need an embassy letter to get the stamp legitimizing your stay until the 26th.  I think the letters are just for those wanting a special 30 day extension beyond the 26th.

UbonJoe,

 

I did a fly out / fly in to/from Malaysia and arrived in Thailand DMK on 06 March 2020 on tourist visa with no red stamp - so was part of amnesty.

Have not done any 90 day reporting as per government recommendation.

Was under the impression I did not need to do any 90 days report and/or leave Thailand until 26 September 2020.

I did not know anything about the 31 August deadline and was not advised of such by my embassy.

My 5 year old daughter (dual citizen) goes to school here in Bangkok.

 

What should I do?

 

Regards

Anyone on a tourist visa, under amnesty, and leaving by sept 26 does not need to do 90 day reporting.  The 90 day report requirement is only for people on long term visas (non-o, non-b etc).

Many offices will refuse to provide the normal 30-day extension while on amnesty and will insist that you can only get a 30-day extension with an embassy letter.

I'm in the process of getting an ED Visa

My understanding is that if you get a special extension with an embassy letter, you can not apply for an ed visa.  If they will give you your regular 30 day extension that you haven't used, that is fine.  But don't use the embassy letter.

This is the immigration memo which tells immigration to give people under the amnesty a stamp in their passport which states that they are allowed to stay until 26th September.

So in case you think such a stamp helps you, but your immigration office acts like they don't know anything about it, you could show them their own memo:

Ed visa - around 15,000. Then 1900/90 days.

You also have tuition to pay, so it ends up being about 30,000 for 6 months.

I thought if someone catches the virus and stays healthy, this is called immune ??

No definitely not.  If you catch the virus and it is living inside your body, you are not immune to it.  If you have immunity from antibodies, or memory tcells, you will not catch it at all.

Did anyone here receive that email from the US embassy personally?   
 

I am on every US embassy mailing list that I know of, and I never received it.

I mean the original email that started this thread that contains this wording.  It’s is not on the US embassy website, and I never received it.  Where did this come from?

The other scenario didn't happen either which was many millions of deaths,

Even with mask use, social distancing, and the strict lockdowns that continue around the world, deaths have so far been limited to 800,000....That’s pretty bad.  It would have been much much worse without all the strict prevention measures that continue.

They said there was zero immunity which is clearly not true, hence the asymptomatics who appear to be easily beating the virus.

An asymptomatic was not immune.  They still caught the virus.

OK, found some info...

 

"Oncologist and chief medical officer at Rutherford Health, Professor Karol Sikora said it is likely the British public has more immunity than previously thought.

 

"Professor Sikora wrote on his social media profile: 'There is a real chance that the virus will burn out naturally before any vaccine is developed.

 

"'We are seeing a roughly similar pattern everywhere – I suspect we have more immunity than estimated. We need to keep slowing the spread of the virus, but it could be petering out by itself.'"

That article was written in May......Since then the world wide virus cases have increased 10x.  It didn’t exactly peter out as he predicted.

I would be very careful with this.  It looks like a fake announcement to me.  The wording does not sound anything like a typical US embassy announcement.  It is barely coherent and probably not even written by a native english speaker.  
 

I would not put any personal info into that link provided.  The whole thing is probably a scam to collect personal info.

What did the PM say today? All I see is the usual we need to open up to some groups of tourist AKA The Chinese. 

I think that is the story he is referring to.  Just that the PM supports allowing limited tourist entry.  Probably only Chinese.  Probably only to Phuket.

If they do start allowing new tourists in, I think it makes it even less likely amnesty will be extended.
