ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi,I am of French nationality from Reunion island.  My visa extension is ending soon and there is no more plane to return to Reunion Island. Someone would have already obtained a letter from the French Embassy to be able to request an extension of  30 days ?

I contacted the embassy 2 days ago. They told me that for Reunion island it was different and that he would answer me very soon.

Contact them and explain that while you can fly to France, you can't fly home to Reunion. Surely it's wiser to prevent people from traveling half the globe in times of a global pandemic.

exactly I would like to see all countries allowing people to stay put for now instead of forcing them to travel home.

The French consulate doesn't provide this letter.

Your airport is still open and flights available from CDG Paris.

Air Austral

And there are flights from Bangkok to Paris.

Therefore unlikely your Embassy will issue a 30 day extension request letter to Thai Immigration.
