Update: just finished at Udon Immigration this morning, place was super dead quiet, totally different from a few weeks ago. The smoking hot policewoman was sitting out front fielding visitors, and took my passport and ran inside and came back with my 26 Oct stamp in just a few minutes, altho I was kinda hoping she'd detain me. /end
Soo... now that the Thai government did about-face and extended amnesty until 31 October, should I return to the Immigration Office and request a refund on my 1900 baht that hasn't been processed yet (no stamp in my passport yet) + 100 baht stolen from me by the police officer? I'm somewhat joking here but I'm sure there are thousands of people who already "paid" for the 30 days extension using a Embassy letter and now there is a free amnesty so it is once again a total mess of clarity in your passport history, I'm wondering if they will refuse to stamp mine tomorrow which is the day I was supposed to "receive" my 30 day stamp... 🥴😳
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster shares their experience at Udon Immigration, noting a quiet atmosphere compared to previous visits. They mention the Thai government's recent amnesty extension to October 31 and humorously question whether they can get a refund for their unprocessed 1900 baht visa extension, alongside a claim of having 100 baht taken by an officer. The comments feature diverse opinions discussing the fairness of paying for extensions, the clarity around the new amnesty, and the overall experience at Thai immigration during the ongoing pandemic.
