Getting a bit nervous as I just got married before the lockdown and was on visa exemption and have amnesty until 31 July. Now they are saying families ok but not tourists. I’m very afraid I will be one of those exceptional cases that falls through the cracks. I was not able to make it outside Thailand to apply for my Non-o due to marriage with Thai National. I do have two Thai children from a previous marriage. I know nothing definitive will come out of this post but If there is anyone in the same boat I’d love to share information
