CelticTam Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Unlikely that the borders will open until next month at the earliest. Most schools are back on the 18th May, many establishments are still be closed, colleges not open until 2nd June, Thai Airways will start flights to Vientiane in July. As far as I am aware, inter-province travel is still restricted. At present no public bus services in Vientiane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problemfarang Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Why do you want to go to SAV to do a visa right now? All visas are auto extended till July 31. You dont need to do anything but wait. My NON-O multi visa expired 5 may (not 90 day, 1 year finished may 5) Im waiting at home so far for July 31, then i will go to SAV to do my new NON-O multi. Borders are open only for neighbouring countries nationals if im not mistaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If most foreigners are to be banned from entering Thailand until the end of the year (as mentioned in another thread from The Nation) then it must follow that everyone in Thailand who has a visa/permission to stay that has been extended until 31st July will now have that extended further until 2021. After all, border runs will be out of the question as we wouldn't be allowed to return. Unless we are Chinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have stated they will announce before July 31st but I do not believe they will extend those here on visa exempt/tourist visas until the end of year unless the world continues in a lock-down. They may indeed make arrangements for those married/ED that use 90 day entry but not sure it would just be an extension to end of year. We really do not know the future and things seem to change almost daily. Edited May 14, 2020 by lopburi3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really do not know the future and things seem to change almost daily. I'd guess it would be done in stages, as has happened so far this year. But unless they open the door to foreigners before the end of the year I see no alternative but to keep adding extensions to the date we are allowed to remain in-country. Maybe the left hand should be talking to the right hand...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, border runs will be out of the question as we wouldn't be allowed to return. Unless we are Chinese. I believe that, once there are reasonable options for people to return to their home countries, those who cannot qualify for long term extensions (marriage, retirement, work) will be expected to leave. There might be a further automatic extension past 31 July, but I will be surprised if it is a long one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they won't allow people in from certain countries doesn't mean they won't have outgoing flights so people can leave. Just like it was in the beginning - unless ones homecountry have closed the borders and the embassy can provide a affidavit then people will need to leave.

Just like it was in the beginning - unless ones homecountry have closed the borders and the embassy can provide a affidavit then people will need to leave. I think you miss the point of my post. There are many thousands of foreigners for whom Thailand is home. Every one of them needs a visa/permission to stay which is time limited (unlike many other countries where if you are married to a local it is comparitively easy to get permanent residency). The Thai government has said that an extension of stay has been granted to those foreigners until 31st July with no action by the alien needed. The Nation has put forward the idea that most foreigners will not be allowed to enter Thailand until the end of 2020. They gave no source for that information, but there are strict laws in Thailand for publishing fake statements (unless it is from government officials ???? ) so I assume there must be some substance to what they wrote. If foreigners are not allowed to enter Thailand until then, then no-one will be able to do border runs or go overseas to renew their visa as they would not be allowed ro re-enter Thailand this year. It follows, therefore, that the current automatic extension to stay must be extended beyond 31st July, perhaps in stages. And all of that has nothing at all to do with what you wrote about foreigners being free to fly back to their own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
