What Is the Current Visa Situation in Thailand for Non-B Immigrant Visa Holders?

Apr 6, 2020

Hey guys.

Is there anyone that actually know about the visa situation in Thailand (please no speculations thx) now. All the news I find is far from clear and I don't get a thing of it. I'm on a non b immigrant, 1 year visa with 90 days border bounce Wich was planned before today, got denied a stamp from immigration (Nakhon si thammarat) last week because they said I needed some papers I already provided them with 7 month ago, got told to come back today... I guess they knew it was closed.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the unclear visa situation in Thailand for a holder of a Non-B immigrant visa who faced challenges with immigration over required paperwork. The user reports difficulties getting a stamp for their border bounce and has received inconsistent instructions from immigration officials. Comments suggest options for both renewing the visa and seeking emergency extensions due to COVID-19.

Otherwise seek an emergency COVID extension for up to 30 days by getting a letter from your embassy requesting it to Thai Immigration.

If you truly have a legitimate business, you can obtain a one year extension of your NonB by going to immigration and meeting the requirements for the extension.
