Hello everyone.

Thank you for accepting me in this Group.

Does this Visa Amnesty include ED-Visas?

(My current ED-Visa expires on the 11.6.2020).

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around whether the ongoing visa amnesty in Thailand includes Education Visas (ED visas). According to participants, those on standard tourist visas and visa exemptions are covered by this amnesty, but ED visa holders need to renew their visas as the amnesty may not apply to long-term extensions or education-related visas. Several users share their experiences and advice regarding compliance with immigration requirements.

Does this include those on tourist visa exemption?

@Dominic ****
exemption entry holders are covered automatically by the amnesty. You do not need to visit an immigration office. You must leave by July 31st (if rules don’t change by then).

I asked 2 questions

1.Do I have to go to check in my 90 days.

2.Does my school and I have to go to immigration as my 90 day visa is valid until 8-6-

nope. it's for tourists. i went to chaeng wattana last week and it was quite busy except for the tourist / visa exemption extension section.

Anyone on a VISA - as in the sticker in your passport that you bought from a consulate/ embassy are covered by the amnesty, as are those with no visa on visa exemption entries or visa on arrival. Those on long term extensions of stay (for whatever category) are not covered and you need to renew those extensions as usual.

Thank you Stuart. That's correct. In my Case, I must go to the Immigration (before my Visa expires) and they will extend it until 31.7.2020. (No Paperwork / no Fees).
