Just a warning for those who haven’t really paid attention to it all trusting all would be okay in the end.... seems not...
Be safe and not sorry please! 3-4 days to go, or left to act prudently 😎😉🙏

In case you missed the story, 150,000 foreign tourists could face arrest and jail if they don’t sort out their visa status before the amnesty expires on Saturday. If you want to stay, you must get a letter from your embassy or doctor that says you cannot fly home

Many foreigners were hoping for another extension to the visa amnesty. Others, who want to work here, were also hoping that Immigration would allow them to change to a Non B without leaving Thailand. It looks like neither of those things will happen before the amnesty expires.

We don’t know for sure yet, but there is speculation that people who are able to buy the 30 day stay based on the embassy letter, can then change this to a Non B without having to leave the country. I will let you know if anyone has actually been able to do this.

If you haven’t sorted out your status yet, then you need to do something quickly or leave the country before Saturday. There are reports of Immigration offices being very crowded. A friend of mine had an appointment at 1:30pm but didn’t get his stamp until 6pm! Good luck!
