U.S. Embassy Confirms "Grace Period" until 26-Sept

Featured Replies

Note the language that advises no letters will be issued for anyone wishing to stay beyond 26-Sept.  Looks like it's curtains for U.S. citizens here.

On July 29, the Royal Thai Government officially approved a grace period until September 26, 2020 for persons in Thailand in temporary visa status (of all visa types) to depart the country. The measure was published on that date in the Royal Thai Gazette.  The grace period effectively further extends the automatic visa extension that was first announced in late March due to Covid-related travel difficulties.   In light of this decision by the Royal Thai Government, visa extension letters from the U.S. Embassy are not required to remain in Thailand between now and September 26.  We will not issue visa extension letters for U.S. citizens who wish to stay in Thailand beyond September 26.  After that date, normal thirty-day extensions may be available for individuals who can demonstrate compelling reasons for not being able to depart Thailand.  Those decisions will be made by Royal Thai Immigration officers on a case-by-case basis.

Does that mean everybody on amnesty has to leave? 

 

My non b expires Aug 14 so I am considering going on amnesty until Sept 27 and then apply for 60 days to stay with Thai family.

 

Hopefully only those on tourist visas should leave, right? Or maybe they mean everyone on amnesty?

Time to apply for an extension of stay instead of the ME Visa's it looks like.  Going to have to do it myself the middle of October for my Non Imm O-A ME Visa as my stay until date is November 20, 2020
