Can I extend my Non-O visa after it has expired and what options do I have?

Some news has just come out from a poster on here its going to be extended till end of September****, source from his wife whod just got off the phone with a lady in IDC, not my info but its on a comment on one of these posts and seems like it might be true as its just out, but yeah I got the go home bit too heh, hey atleast you didnt get called steven gerrard on your way out, also id beware of the scammmers, hearing reports of lots of so called visa agents scamming, getting alot of emails/line msgs myself which look a bit dodgy

cheers Richard but I am not a 'cheap charley' thank you for your observations all the same.

@Tod ********

that’s Todd, that’s awesome so essentially I can get 60 days with the normal paper work I take in, aka his school licence, etc, that’s a massive relief and thanks for the info, I will go tomorrow but technically I could go in 10 days and I’d still be fine? This is great but I hope my idc center which is Maha Sarakham understand and don’t fob me off, but your a legend as usual Tod, I owe you a beer and a beer from last time, really thou you should be paid for this you help thousands It’s really appreciated and not just because it’s good news, cheers mate

@Matt ******

yes mate agreed, I know the lady at the Thai consulate in hull (my home town) she said no one knows anything but she did say do not overstay, I did before you see on a tourist visa, they have banned me from ever entering on a tourist visa again, but that isn’t the problem she said if I overstay it could affect my future application which she does for me in usually a few days, she warns me as she knows I have kids here but others won’t get that warning plus overstaying your paying 500 a day and obviously after that date the immagration police are going to be out in force no doubt so could potentially get blacklisted and a stay in the detention center , so I get you but I wouldn’t overstay purely for the fact there is no compassion so you’ll get handed the book and no mercy even thou it’s their fault for not letting us know, I mean what it’s less than 20 days away and they still haven’t said anything, stupid I know but let’s hope this next week brings something, I thought the same as you till I spoke to her, she can’t give me any advice on what to do thou as even she doesn’t know and she heads up the Thai consulate, if she doesn’t know then I’d imagine we are gona be last, they didn’t think this amnesty through as to what happens when it runs out, imagine every expat all rushing out of Thailand on or around the end of July? Would be manic not to mention the massive loss of revenue from is, all we can do is pray I guess but I do get what you mean on the overstay it crossed my mind but then for what? Immagration officer catches you olon day one, your done for so not worth it mate but good thing is we are all mainly in the same boat so hopefully numbers will matter, we could even set up an online partition to extend the amnesty to Christmas, if we get enough online signatures maybe it might have some weight? Cheers

I feel ya pain bud, hopefully youll get some good news soon, if the west can stop being prats and get covid sorted like Thailand has, anyway good luck mate and im sure the wait till be worth it when you get settled back

Airlines capitalizing on it I guess, then they want bailing out when they are in the shit, I would sooner fly to another country near Thailand and sit it out for a bit, then again in my small opinion, if we do get told to leave, they are going to make it very difficult to get back in, maybe not difficult but at-least 2021 which would be awful for those with kids/families, especially since they make it so hard for thais to leave the country, for example... if i want fly to a country i hop on a plaine, a thai has to go through interviews and usualy will be declined, something massively wrong about not letting someone leave there own country to travel for me, why are we privilidged and thais cant? not fair, Id love it if I could just hop on a flight now with my kids and wife to the UK, but nah wont happen this year :( anyway lets hope it all pans out for the best

thanks mate, ill pop down this week, I think it was more not that they didnt want to help but a. I dont think they knew themselves what the deal was, and b. it was right in the middle of covid at its peak, good to know i wont have to pay the 500 a day as that would probably rack up to quite alot, will update this thread incase anyone is in my shoes, appreciated for the replies thou

@Steve ******

I get my visa stuff in Maha sarakham office, they barely speak any English, I was literally told “falang no need visa you are Steven Gerrard” lol, so yeah I’m kinda shitting it now as your right why didn’t they extend me then? And now I’m too late?
