Reminds me when I needed a health certificate for my driver's license. I went to a small clinic and told them that I need such a certificate. The lady at the reception said 100 Baht and after 10 Minutes I received it. I never saw the doctor. Is this the same with this certificate? Yes, but the rule doesn't say you actually have to see a doctor, only that you provide a certificate. Thai logic ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Are we going back to the letter of embassy days where you can swore on false affidavits? I think they shouldn't let the embassy decide but based on which countries have flights allowed back. If they have flights allowed back home and they are not in poor medical health, there's no reason to allow them to stay on tourist visa.

fraggleRock Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 16 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: A VERY misleading headline - the ‘extension’ is for those with a Medical Certificate proving they are unfit to fly or those with a letter from their Embassy explaining why they cannot fly. The existing Visa Amnesty remains the same and ends on September 26th. Agreed, also it includes people who can not be repatriated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millcx Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 17 hours ago, CorpusChristie said: The report also states However, those who are unable to return home due to lack of flights or other circumstances in their home country must present a letter from their home country’s embassy or consulate in Thailand requesting that the foreign be allowed to continue to temporarily stay in the Kingdom, Gen Pornchai added." So, as long as your Embassy issues you a letter, anyone should be able to stay for an extendable 30 days Embassies don’t do letters anymore .. They already messed that one up on the expat cull 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Rodriguez Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 because extending another 6 months was asked too mutt immigration needs those 1900 baht monthly fees why don't they come up with another ripp-off ? 1900 x 12 months, paid at once for a 1 year visa would prefer that to give to crooked AGENTS , which are charging now up to 70.000 baht I read in some posts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do an in-country one year extension (with financial requirements). When to do it depends not on when the visa expires but when your permission to stay expires, this will be shown on your last entry stamp. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you have no need of amnesty while your permission to stay (not visa expiration date - date shown on your last entry stamp, which can be later than the visa expiration date) is still valid. And you can do a one year extension of stay provided you meet the financial requirements. The time to apply for that will be 1-30 days before your permission to stay ends. Read up on the financial requirements (differs depending on whether you have a Thai spouse). If your permission to stay has already expired then you should apply for one year extension before 26 September. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition I don't think you can change from a non-O to a tourist visa, but best to ask UbonJioe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
