Has the Thai government extended the COVID visa extension beyond May 24th?

@Andrew ****

@Andrew ****

@Justin ********

I was approved for the Thailand testing going pick up my tourist visa tomorrow from the embassy. It seems like I have everything in order and I hope I don't get yelled at. As long they let me in I'll be happy.

@Bruce ********

I get yelled at, twice. Once at BKK airport and once at the Lao border. Both times it was because I had goofy paperwork.

BKK, I had a 90 day Non-B visa, I think, I left for India and gotten a reentry permit. Not so strange but usually people extend their non-b for a year, and I had not. Its off-topic conversation but basically the original IO thought my paperwork looked strange.

Lao border, I went cross the border had lunch and came back. I did not use an agent. When coming back through to thailand I didn't know if I need photo copies or other paper work. I ask the photo copy person and they told me go ask in the office. The office walked me out to the supervisor, and they yelled at me. Kinda nice though, I didn't have to wait in line to get my stamp.

@Terary *********

why did they yell at you to immigration? Also how many covid-19 exemptions have you gotten

@Terary *********

if they tell that I should get married then I will go with it. Haha.

@Bruce ********

Both times the supervisor talked to me, they both suggested I get a marriage visa. One supervisor was male the other female. I am suggesting you tell them are looking for a mail order bride, just that you are a decent guy looking to maybe settle down.

I am still unmarried- you don't have to get married.

@Terary *********

I probably won't say I'm looking for a wife part. Guy will get pissed at another foreigner trying to take away Thai women. Besides I have yet to find someone who I find truly attractive in Thailand believe it or not.

@Bruce ********

I have been yelled at by supervisors at immigration. Once at BKK. My recommendation, be very respectful, don't get an attitude.. "Thank you for let me come your beautify country". " I don't live here but I like it here so much". " I hope I can find nice Thai wife".. Just be respectful. You will probably be fine.

@Carsten ********

I didn't want to risk it and get that overstayed stamp. Though those never indication that it was going to be extended. I never read any of that anywhere.

@Shaun ********

hard to make plans when you have to wait till after the deadline to learn what happens

@Carsten ********

I had a friend leave last year and he was at the airport when I told him it's just been announced its been extended. If there was more notice people could plan better.
