What would be the point of that? That is just a panic post. Those of us who have been here for years pose no more of a threat than an average Thai.

If only those Thai would understand that .......

FYI Tourism minister to seek reprieve for overstay

Related to this topic is thread currently in Thailand news forum.

PM suggesting closing borders if covid-19 becomes stage 3.

Getting hot in here.

I bet they wish they hadn't kicked out all them over stayers, come back all is forgiven 

if you are expat or tourist and living in Thailand with a visa and this one coming end during a lockdown you can always ask a letter from your embassy or consulate for Immigration to extend your visa or extension for 30 days price 1900 bath..There is a provision(clause2.28) in the current police order(327/2557) concerning extension of stays that allows immigration to give a 30 days extension"based on embassy request".It is what they are using to issue they cannot travel due to Covid-19 extensions.

Unless the government changes the way it operates, those on an expiring visa will probably get hit with an overstay.
