What Are the Current Emergency Measures for Visa Renewals in Thailand Due to COVID-19?

I guess it is all clear. NO there are no special regulations made that allow foreigners to overstay for free as long as there are viruses or other sicknesses in the world.

Time to go back to normal life, Stay healthy everyone

I have to apply for a new non-b visa in April. So far all bus services and the embassy in Vientiane are taking bookings, so I'm just treating it as business as usual until told otherwise. There's no sense in worrying about things that are out of our control.

okay listen up boyz and squirrellz.. AT THIS TIME <- meaning right now as it is today there is NO provision to cut ANYONE any slack as far as needing to go to another country and BUY a visa from a thai consulate, OR to go to a border bounce out and back in to activate a new entry on a multi-entry visa OR to get an in country extension on any visa type.

The ONLY thing the thai immigration office did was state that IF you go to your consulate BEFORE you run on overstay and get a letter from them stating you can't travel they will sell you a 30 day extension for 1900baht. (Now AFAIK; they are ONLY doing this for people on 15 day visa on arrival, 30 day visa exempt or 30 day visa waiver OR 60 day tourist visa entries). I have NOT personally seen ANY of these 30 day covid-19 extensions issued for any other visa types.

AND remember you have to get the letter from your consulate AND you have to go apply for the extension BEFORE you start running on overstay.

There were HUNDREDS of chinese out at Chaengwattana with the letter from their consulate getting those extensions in section K almost every day last week.

I just came back in from Malaysia via Wang Prachan this morning after my tourist visa expires. Got a 30 day visa exemption no problems. Had to stay one night in Malaysia.

Im on an O-A and going to Cambodia tomorrow returning on Friday 20th and getting stamped in for another year permit to stay. I`m a bit concerned I wont be let back in.

For people on multiple entry visas like one year marriage visa without cash deposit, meaning that you have to leave every 90 days, you can now extend within Thailand.

As you don't actually "renew" a visa inside Thailand - you only get an extension of stay - your best strategy is to renew to the furthest date possible and to monitor the situation. It's no good panicking at this stage when the government itself is very fluid with its decision. Just hope that the Thai government don't use this virus as a way to cull the "tourist" ex-pat population who are here with the wrong visas

Goverment stayed previously,

Anyone caught up in virus problem, can stay over with no fine or blacklist.

But u will need to sort this beforehand with immigration.

Survive first, deal with legalities later... Governments worldwide are in panic mode, no long term strategizing possible right now

I have to go to Chang Wattana next week to renew annual retirement visa.... usually takes half a day and it’s a pretty crowded space to wait in....pretty popular place to contact carona virus? Any alternatives suggested?
