    Amnesty 80% likely to be extended - Immigration Officer Phuket Today

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Hey Guys,

     

    I see many writing that stuck people are stuuck by their own fault, that they should have gotten a long stay visa, that the amnesty is already more that they deserve and so on.

    Have you not seen that unless using corruption for a fake volonteer visa there is no legal way to do that?

     

    My friend entered thailand on tourist but was planning to leave and go back on ED. He did study with me but could never leave because of covid. Now  he has to go back to europe for an unknown time (and probably cannot afford quarantine in Phuket).

    I myself was on ED but that expired a few days ago. I should have an exceptionnal extension but i am waiting for it and I do not know if i will have it before the end of amnesty.

     

    Please consider the fact that not all people who fear the coming end of amnesty are bad tourists trying to take advantage over the long stay people. Some might have had their long stay plan destroyed by covid. There is no legitimate way to get long term visa now (paying 40-50k for a fake volonteer visa is not legitimate to me, though convenient) because getting any visa would require leaving and coming back.

    How to stay in Thailand as ED student

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Good morning!

    I have been in Thailand for now 8 months on ED visa, learning Thai language.

    I see a lot of information everywhere concerning tourists and long term expats (retired and mariage) but not that much about ED.

     

    My visa ends on 14 of september (i am not yet on amnesty but i might be from 14 to 26 if i do not find a solution).

     

    The normal plan would have been to go out for example to Vietnam and Malaysia and apply for the second ED visa that would last another 6 months. But as you know that is not possible anytime soon.

     

    Now what i know:

    - The school has prepared avery document and sent it in case Bangkok immigration allows the application to the new visa without leaving the country, which has been requested by the ministry of education. But no news about this yet.

    - The school has advised me to request a 30 days extension at embassy (for me that would be France, any experience?)

    - I fear that once my visa expires, i will be considered a simple amnesty tourist and that it might make things harder concerning visas?

     

    I am also looking at options for if i really have to leave the country. I do not want to come back to infected europe, i was thinking about Vietnam or Cambodia (Vietnam seems to have reasonnable price for quarantine, under a thousand dollar in private hotels): Has anyone figured a plan B in a country that doesnt have too much corona?

     

    Thank you all :)
