Great news for those obtaining covid extensions. The only doubt it happening was the talk about amnesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you enter Thailand. If with visa exempt or tourist visa they will make you obtain the 'standard' 30 day extension first. Expiry date of current permission of stay? Which country for passport renewal? Edited November 24, 2021 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can obtain standard extension to your visa exempt. That takes you through till Jan 19th. Perfect timing...obtain covid extension prior to Jan 19. That 60 days would be possible till ~19 March. Re land borders. Bit surprised in this comment from R Barrow. Edited November 26, 2021 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No details yet. I suspect it will only be for those fully vaccinated. Given the current situation in Myanmar I don't think the borders will open any time soon to there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would not be able to enter Laos with a passport valid for less than 6 months. You can apply for a new passport sent to the US embassy by mail and it only takes about 2 weeks to get it.
