Their website has been updated to encourage people to apply early and avoid overcrowding later in the month. The game begins.
Who's going to apply early? Who's holding out for a possible last minute FREE extension?

I have my 60 day extension to use, so, i can afford to swing it longer and see

And they will be open on Saturday Sep 26?

(I read some offices do service on Saturdays?)

A total of 14 regular office days (Mo-Fr) until Sep 25(!).

with traffic levels rising from empty to blind panic

 

good luck all

 

 

I am not affected by the amnesty. My one year extension is due on Oct 8.

My documents (insurance) are not ready, maybe during coming week.

I think it will be better NOT to apply early but wait until after Sep 26?

Definitely after.

I realize you know this, just make sure your insurance start date matches (or earlier) to the date you attend immigration for your extension.

To my understanding, this simply means a normal 30 day extension without the need to showcase an embassy letter or a medical certificate? So if a tourists would like to extend beyond Oct. 27th that's when an EL/MC becomes necessary?

Some buzz on FB indicates a further amnesty could  be coming....

Yes

When I saw the FB post, it gave me a little chuckle. Seems the offices on the islands don't want to process any paperwork if they think it would be a waste of their time and energy.
1900baht and a TM7? No...don't worry, go home...wait until 21-Sept...save your money and OUR time. ???? 
50K and a TM30? Yes sir, have a seat and let's get your sorted. What you will do, volunteer or learn thai? "What's better?"  Oh...same-same...you pick one and I do for you !!!  ????

It is a little to expect any news about it today. Probably 4 o'clock or later.

Only for those on extensions based upon retirement if a OA visa was used for entry.

thx Joe.

 

I am on a NON-0 (originally) so doesn't effect me

 

But FYI I have an Insurance and they will pay COST price (so NO limit) I wonder how this will fair with Immigration, "You need $100k insurance", but I have NO Limit Insurance "what does this mean?".

 

I already see how this will be going when asking immigration

That insurance is only needed for those that are applying for a certificate of entry at a embassy to board a repatriation flight to here at this time.

I assume if you had proof your insurance did not have a limit they would accept it.
