I want to immigrate to Canada, and start my law work there. But i have to jump through gallons of immigration loop holes to get there.

 

Families in India want to immigrate to the west because they believe in a better life.

 

' I WANT' doesn't work when it comes to immigration. 

Well it does, because if I didnt want to stay in Thailand, I would have gone back to my own Country back in March

You are telling me there wasn't one flight from February to July that you couldn't get on? You have deliberately done nothing, left it all last minute and invoke chaos, in the hope the chaos and pity sob story will provoke Thai authorities into letting you stay. 

 

No sympathies at all. 

Typical of your style.

I live in Thailand on extensions. No issue for myself. I was simply pointing out to any Oz folk that be aware of changes to Au gov policy esp in regard to paying for own quarantine that previously was not required. Was a simple heads up.

Take a chill pill.

What are you on ? So now its 6 months and you are talking about invoking chaos? The only

chaos would be if Thailand was full of

expats with your attitude I think.  Your world seems to be either black or white Andrew.  It reminds me of the mind of a child. 
 

No normal people that has the option to travel the world because they have the funds to do so, or are working in other warm countries and can’t get back to their <deleted>hole European country, would even think about waiting a possible departure out on any airport in Thailand. 
Is that so freakin hard to understand. Sleeping on the floor for a week or two paying 4 times the price to get home or stuck another place.   
 

If you would put yourself in that situation to go to a <deleted>hole state in Europe compared to what the relaxed and good thailand is, I would have to consider you dumb.

What's the plan for post July 31 if amnesty is not extended. 

I am seeing patterns since the very first day of the BS corona virus was announced. Get real people, it was introduced globally into people's life. Man made virus, the globalists are very <deleted> and I love that. Sorry if it is not the conspiracy forum, but people get real, look at the big picture.

It will be extended.  Your head as a farang will always be counted in thb from the authorities. If they can’t have other tourists they will for sure have these tourists.

Most likely. 

 

But please save us the sob stories how you can't go back to your country. You can. But you choose to stay by exploting the rules during the virus.

Please dont put words into my mouth , I am abiding by the immigration rules .

You may be furious that some people can stay in Thailand under the visa amnesty , possibly because you jumped through all the hoops to get a retirement visa and you think its unfair that others didint have to do that .

  Dont you have anything better to do than get upset about others getting free visas .

Get yourself a life

Barbados has opened its airports today , if they indeed are giving people 1 year visa , I may go there for a year .

Good plan.

Mind you I think amnesty will be extended. You would think some announcement one way or other would be made next week.

Can't really blame them for saying "enough is enough".

People were abusing the tourist visas to make income for bike&car rental companies&individuals, to make income for apartment/house rental companies&individuals, lastly to make income for the government by paying VAT.

But enough is enough! Let all these Thais involved in tourist/rental businesses go back to Isan and work on rice fields.

If they're opening up the borders, especially to European nations, they are prepared to allow the virus to come to the island. 

 

Nice place, but not a place i would want to stay for a year. 

I feel like if Thai officials were thinking logically, it should pay to enable those here to stay. The current covid stats "prove" they are not infected. 

 

Amnesty not extended, they all fly out to places like America. Then when things open you have a hoard of extra virus carriers coming back here to live.

 Many there are on invalid travel insurances, and at worst not going to cover them for Corona.  The cost of Thailand have to possibly care for these international patients if anything goes wrong far outweighs any spending you bring to the country. 

 

The bare minimum they need is to ensure all those who are given an amensty get the valid insurance that is being asked of those coming in this month (name the 100,000 worth of insurance and covering for Covid).

That's great news ! 

 

I really can't fathem why a country like Thailand, so reliant on tourism, can't adopt a similar policy many other tourist reliant countries are making - NAMELY TEST ON ARRIVAL !!

They could even test people just before they get on the aeroplane and process the tests during the flight, and if anyones found to have the Corona virus , just open the aeroplane doors and throw them out ????

I was referring to prior July 31 st , of course the visa amnesty  will not last forever

Unofficial statement by high ranking IO. I dunno. IOs were not saying comforting things back in March or April either if I am remembering correctly. Immigration isn't in charge of this decision either. The Cabinet will tell them what to do when they decide what they think is best. Even if amnesty is not extended some form of paid extensions may be allowed.We'll see what they decide to do.

Absolutely. The "extension denied- must leave within 7 days" @1,900 baht will always be an option.

 

As of other options, I don't feel embassies will issue letters again, should that be an available option, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
