Like you have stated, people have different reasons for staying in Thailand . My husband worked here and we have now retired here so my daughter grew up here since she was 7. But now she is too old for a dependency visa the only way to stay is with tourist visas. She has an MET at the moment and was supposed to do a border bounce on 29th March but borders closed so went to immigration and they gave her 30 days which lasts till 29th April . Her MET expired April 11. She has the embassy letter which I didn’t need to use last time . I was thinking she should go to immigration next week to extend 30 days with letter rather than wait to see about amnesty . Would that work ? Please don’t tell her to get out of the country and go home because this is her home and to go back to Uk she would have to live with 89year old grandad which is a risk .So it’s safer to stay here with parents I think .
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user's daughter is in Thailand on a 30-day extension that lasts until April 29, but her MET visa expired on April 11. There are suggestions from the community regarding her options for extending her stay, including the possibility of enrolling in an education program for an education visa, but it is also noted that the blanket amnesty for foreign residents remains in effect until the end of April, which may provide additional options.
