I got a consideration stamp today until the 20th of October I will need to go back again to get the official stamp to change to October 26th. Do you have any extension options for TR/Arrival/VOA after October 26th?

We are currently not 100% sure how the 30 day visa will be treated after this month (other than applying for additional 30 day extensions via embassy letter).

Are you able to help with a 30 days extension of a tourist exempt entry, without a embassy letter?

Sorry we can't help with that one ????

OK I admit I am a bit naive when it comes to this subject,and even after reading of others in trouble I still have problems,so if I make this as easy as I can I would appreciate a

simple answer---- if there is one

Earlier this year I went to my Udon Thani Immigration to renew the extension for my Retirement Visa and during the process an officer told me that the first extension,in my passport was an O and the rest have been OA's (4 of them) in my Passport. Now--- I have been getting my extensions(with no problems) on the 800,000bt in the bank system but now I have to have medical insurance,but for 16,000bt  he could somehow ?? waiver that and I got my extension,but told me I would have to go through the same procedure(hoop) next year. I would be grateful for your comments and your help to get out of this position I am in------I am unable,because of my age to get insurance.

Your best option currently would be to wait until next year, and hopefully the borders are open try to apply for a non-o based on retirement at an embassy that will issue them.

But it is hard to know what the future will be like in terms of traveling into Thailand, for example will we still need covid health insurance in a years time.

Can I get a volunteer visa after amnesty ends? 

It would depend on what visa you are coming from.

If you are saying that you would like to apply for volunteer while officially under overstay the answer is NO.

You're a little late to the party.

 

By next week an agent can't do anything for you anymore. Most have already stopped accepting any customers since middle of last week (prior to the Sep 11 cutoff).

Next week there are a few agents that can still help, but you are 100% correct that he is late.

For some cases we honestly don't know when the cutoff date will be but it is approaching very quickly.

Also some options may be off the table, and others may be more expensive to expedite.

Everyone should have sorted our their visa situations by now, if their intention was to stay past September 26th ????.

We get at least 20 people commenting on our advertisements every day saying that amnesty will be extended.

The truth is no one knows, and currently the chances of that happening seem extremely slim.

Most of everyone that could submit for an extension of stay has already done so, or at least got the ball rolling.

There is still time to contact your embassy for letter (if they are issuing them), but from what we have heard as long as you have a letter right now the chances of approval is very high (but this could change if you wait too long).

As for agents, there are still a few good agencies that can help you, but your options will probably be reduced by next week.

If all else fails you will be on overstay, and you may do this up to 90 days without any serious penalties, other than the maximum fine of 20,000 THB if you don't cause any problem (currently).

So if you only need to stay here for 1-3 months then you shouldn't be concerned, but if you actually live here long term... Please stop waiting for an amnesty extension, it is simply not worth the risk at this point.
