What is the current status of applying for teaching visas in Thailand during COVID-19 amnesty?

Cleaned up. This amnesty has nothing to do with application of work permits and correct visa, The laws did not change.

This simply means that you need a valid work permit and a valid visa that allows you to work in combination with the work permit, to work in Thailand.

What ever schools, agencies or Family Markt sales staff are telling, be careful out there.

Other than the post by Richard Barrow, who was able to get teachers from his school to go to the Samut Prakan Immigration office and apply for in country 90 day Non-B visas while they were on amnesty there have been NO verifiable reports of people being able to do it at ANY other office in the country.

In fact many, MANY people showed up at their office with documentation from their school (employer) only to be told they cannot go from amnesty to an in country Non-B visa.

SO

Your school is correct, until the government actually issues a policy stating whether they will or won't allow people on amnesty to apply for in country visas, no one can do anything but wait
