What are the details and implications of the visa extension process for foreigners in Thailand before the amnesty ends?

Theres no tourists now and theyre worried about overcrowding...? What??

Proof of insurance required?

Extension not new visas

One word guys! The immigration does not want you all go in last minute to process the visa extension and crowded the bureau. Haha!

I'm not hoping, if a miracle happens it's fine but I'm not counting on it.

Except...if you are hoping the Universe's guiding hand causes the Cabinet to once again extend the amnesty.

Fun fact, I'm still under consideration since the end of March. I was stuck in Khon Kaen but had to go CM to complete the process, I never went back. Got told no need over the phone by many officers there. But apparently, they give 100 baht penalty per day if you go back so another reason to not go back and just head out before September 26. I went to CM end of march because my stupid Canadian consulate forced me to fly there to get their letter that I've been asked them for over a month. They are doing the same thing now... no letter, I bet they will change their mind last minute like last time but I'm not doing it again, it's pure BS. I'm out with Thai GF. No idea when we are coming back to Thailand. Probably early 2021 if they don't BS me with insane quarantine prices (free for Thai at least). At this point, I just want to clear my mind from Thailand for a few months.

Yeah but what's the point of telling people that they can come before if they tell people to come back in two weeks or if the under consideration end around that date too? Everyone will be there on 24-25, it's gonna be a mess.

@Ma***

that is not completely true, depending on the immigration office some people with the embassy letter are being told to come back closer to the expiration of the amnesty. What this notice is saying is no matter WHEN you go to get the extension it will be dated as starting from the 27th. It's to provide documentation to people who are being turned away.

At least in Bangkok if you apply for the 30 day extension with the embassy letter they give you an under consideration stamp that has you come back in 14 days to get the extension. Now at this point no one has gone back (because they just applied) so we don't know when their extension will be dated from BUT it stands to reason since immigrations put out this announcement that it would be dated as starting from the 27th (the date after amnesty ends)

Extension of whaT? Most people are on Amnesty.
