Thailand’s CCSA to consider sixth phase of lockdown easing this week

July 19, 2020

 

The CCSA will meet mid-week to consider a sixth phase of lockdown restriction easing, by allowing the entry of foreign migrant workers, from Thailand’s neighboring countries, to ease the labour shortage and enable economic rehabilitation, said CCSA spokesman Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin on Sunday.

 

Relaxation of entry restrictions on certain foreign tourist arrivals, visitors to trade exhibitions and film crews will also be considered at the meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, he said, adding that a subcommittee of the CCSA, headed by the Secretary-General of the National Security Council, will meet Monday or Tuesday to consider whether the state of emergency will be extended again.

Finally getting to the nitty gritty. Finally woke up and soon be open for business.
I’m sticking with December for tourists with a few added extras.

I was hoping to see a relaxation for holders of re-entry permits and immigrant visas mentioned. Surely, they should have priority over tourists.

These are not your normal Tourists but the ones that were highlighted previously in the priority groups. 
 

The others are migrant workers they claim they need for the Labour shortage which is hard to understand with the amount of Thais that are going to be out of work. 
 

They are opening bit by bit. It will take a while but patience is required.
