Is it possible to cross the land border to Laos, Malaysia, or Cambodia to obtain a B visa while on an expired ED visa during the amnesty period?

They're all closed

@John ********

I'm on a ed visa. I called up there helpline number..was told I didn't have to do

My 90 day check-in or 90 day extension

I went anyway to my immigration office and they want both!

Hi

@Dianne ****

I am unable to follow the link to the post you shared.

Where does the speculation arise from?

The graphics shared from the Thai Immigration are straightforward.

No need to extend, no 90-day report, no fee, no docs to submit.

"Immigration Bureau will process the abovementioned steps automatically."

AND

"The permitted period of stay and notification of 90-day report shall be extended from 1 May to 31 July 2020.

Once the situation is resolved, such alien must apply for visa extension and do 90-day reporting as specified by the regulations."

I have my documents gathered and I am prepared to go to Immigration when I am directed to do so.

My current visa should take me through most of November 2020 with extensions when and where I am permitted.

@John ********

it is not clear what will happen to people who have allowed their long stay visas to lapse rather than doing an extension. There is much speculation. But it is possible that such people will have to return to their country of origin, visit a neighbouring country for a new visa. This is why people whose long stay visas are still valid and can extend, are being advised to do so, unless they were planning to leave at the end of July anyway

And...

For anyone else interested, here's the info from Thai Immigration website.

I was out of the loop. I had a look. Thanks for sharing.
