Can anyone please confirm if it necessary to visit immigration if you are currently under the tourist amnesty to get a free stamp in your passport up to the 26th Sept as a necessary step prior to securing any other future visa? Am reading mixed things. Thank you šŸ™šŸ»

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among commenters suggests that it is not necessary to visit immigration for a stamp if you are under the tourist amnesty until the 26th of September. Once the period of stay lapses, you can apply for a new visa at a Thai consulate if you wish to return to Thailand. However, individuals dealing with prior visa complications may need to ensure their situation is resolved before applying for a new visa.

and what "future visa" are you intending to apply for? There are few reports of them handing out that "go from no stamp amnesty to a stamped extension until the 26th" unless you're ready to apply for an in country visa

Not normally. However, I attempted to purchase visa the confusing week before the amnesty announcement.

I wasnā€™t away until later that I didnā€™t receive full visa but was ā€˜under considerationā€™ (written in Thai) in my passport. So needed to fix that first for my retirement Visa Application

as a rule IF you apply for an in country Non-Imm visa it says "under consideration" right on the stamp in your passport (in english) under the name of the immigration office

Iā€™m really curious about theses questions. If your good to go on the amnesty thing until 26 September why would someone need a stamp up to the same date.

Not needed. once you leave your period of stay inside Thailand get closed and you can apply again for a new visa at a Thai Consulate if you like to return to Thailand.
