ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi Everyone, I have a valid work visa issued on 18th March but due to the travel restrictions, I was not able to travel to Thailand, Now I have extended work permit date to 1st May but currently I do not have valid work permit. As per the guidelines, they say you need to have a valid work permit to enter Thailand. My question is "can I enter Thailand on a valid work Visa instead of work permit as everyone have to apply for work permit once they reach Thailand?"

you are using outdated entry criteria, The airspace is closed to foreigners getting in to the country. You will have to watch to see what criteria they set when they re-open the entry points.
