Popular Post IamNoone88 Posted September 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 It was very clear that the deadline was 26th September. Either you complied, like any sensible person would have done, or you didn't, in which case you deserve the fines. The immigration have been extremely lenient during these times to help. 32 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point waiting at the "Train Station" Best to be at the airport waiting for a flight home. Not worth this risk IMO 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be any fines. Immigration did their job and the government introduced the necessary amnesty. Pretty clear.

pubba Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Well.. They got my 1900 baht last week and I'm 'safe' for another month. If only they'd allow processing of short term to long stay visa within Thailand.. I'd just apply for a 1 year extension based on marriage and relax a little. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kaopad999 Posted September 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 I was just reading on another news source that was published about 3 hours ago, saying that an Immigration Bureau spokesman said that he had no knowledge of this so called leaked document showing that the amnesty will be extended until Oct. 31. So, someone has got this news very wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
