Western embassy advisors give lame advise towards 31st of July visa situation

So, I have read various advises from foreign embassies online and in general they advise: get your visa stuff (docs) ready for the 31st of July, but dont go last day to immigration. 

Several friends went to immigration already bec they are on amnesty till 31st of July and they want to avoid many people. All of them reported that immigration said to wait till end of this month. 

I guess: TH immigration offices in Thailand want to figure out what to do: 

Now my advise: give 30 days more for all, with requirement that they have a plane ticket latest in August 2020 out of Thailand. If they can't show proof of a ticket in August 2020 they are simply overstayers. 

I say it simply that way, because several people wanted to make a visa border run in July, but can't do it, bec borders are closed. So, they don't have any option when a home-ticket is already booked for August and that already 1 year ago and visa valid only til July.
