How am I going to get my non b now ?

[Jackcwba]

So the government have announced tourists can extend their visa for an extra 30 days due to COVID... It mentions nowhere if this is free or going to cost the usual 1900 baht.. anyone know ? 

 

How am I supposed to leave Thailand to process my non b because for some genius reason Thailand changed the law that you have to process your non b outside of Thailand now ..

 

 

my employer is still waiting for the work permit acceptance application to come back from the boi, the plan was to process the non b in Vietnam and fly back to Thailand.. everywhere is in lockdown now and I can’t go to Vietnam or leave thailand as things appear to get worse by the day.

 

it makes absolutely no sense to fly anywhere or even go back to my own home in UK where the corona virus is worse than here. So how on earth am I supposed to get this non b ? Can they just change it here it Bangkok due to the circumstances? My tourist visa runs out on April 2.

It's the usual 1,900 THB.

The law hasn't been changed? It is still possible to apply for a Non B from within the country if you have a Tourist entry. If you have another category of Non-Immigrant visa you need to leave and apply outside the country.

Normally you need at least 15 days remaining of your tourist entry when applying for the Non B. You don't so you could apply for a 30 day tourist extension and then apply for the Non B.
