blackcab Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I was there this morning. It is not empty, but it is significantly less crowded than in more normal times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Sorry, I don't know. I got there at 08:35 because I didn't want to wait in the "outside" queue system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 OP, there have been reports with terms like "ghost town". One report had pictures. Couldn't believe it was CW. Empty I do annual extensions retirement. Wish mine was due now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheinwiese Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Went yesterday for Non-O annual extension. It wasn't empty, but at least half of the normal crowds pre-covid. My advice, go after lunch break (2pm). It was almost empty by then. Perhaps 20 people in the L1/L2 section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbi1 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Why the hell would anyone go to CW? You do know there's a visa anmesty now until the 30th then they will keep extending it after that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not all on TVs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know there's a visa anmesty now until the 30th then they will keep extending it after that. The PM, cabinet, TAT and foreign embassies were assured that there was a comprehensive amnesty. However, senior immigration officials did not want this. They induced the PM to sign off on an order with convoluted wording that allows immigration to claim that extensions frequently needing agent assistance were not covered. It seems they will be allowed to get away with such subterfuge, as there has been little blow back from people put at risk. Immigration retained plausible deniability. The Order was deliberately ambiguous, and they could have given in, saying it covered everyone legally in Thailand as of March 26th, but it appears this will be unnecessary, and their normal income from agent assisted extensions will continue (indeed, possibly even slightly increased). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letseng Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 If you see the picture Richard Barrow posted on Twitter this morning you will see that CW is anything but quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that too, so I was rather hoping this thread would have someone confirm or refute that experience, as I intend to go next week to do my EoS ahead of schedule, to take advantage of a perceived quiet time.
