What should expats know about recent immigration announcements in Thailand due to flight cancellations?
Just received this from immigration. Hope it helps settle the nerves of some people.
Don’t ask me any questions about it I’m just sharing what I received, any questions you have kindly head down to immigration and ask there then share the answers

Answer summary
Recent announcements from Thai immigration have left many expats anxious, especially regarding documentation required due to flight cancellations. Key points include that a proof of cancellation is sufficient and that immigration is not punishing those impacted. There is also chatter about potential government assistance of 2000 THB per day for those unable to leave; however, many express skepticism about this claim and question its implementation.

Immigration is asking for something that NO embassy of any country will supply. A proof of cancellation of the flight is sufficient. There is no embassy in Bangkok that issues a statement that the cancellation is for real

A cancelled flight does not necessary mean you cannot leave, but it is a good thing Immigration is not punishing people that already got in trouble by the agression of Iran.

they cant even help their own citizens, they want to help tourists? Disgusting. Tourists can go fly kites and touch grass.Nongnuch ********
@Toni ******
at the moment only talk, and this money will not be paid out directly to the tourist. The Thai owned hotels will receive it
Barry ******
There’s only talk but nothing official yet. I could be wrong.
Doubtful it would be cash, and likely a debit card or a promptpay wallet to businesses only.
Otherwise that’s free boom boom every day

thailand even during covid took 1900 baht for visa extension.So this is impossible hahaToni *******
@Barry *****
i dont believe they will give anything, but thats what they said :)Ciaran ****
@Nongnuch *******
but again, you must ask yourself. Why should anybody be paying for a tourist? If you have proper travel insurance, this would cover you.Nongnuch ********

@Ciaran ***
yes. Why would the country give money to them. Don't they have a bank card to withdraw money for any necessary?
What type of Tourists are they...
Looking to take money from Thailand while acting big head..
Ciaran ****
@Toni ******
I agree - most conversations I have with Thai people at the moment are disgusted the tourists will be given money.

Can always try but in another group it was said a cancelled flight to middle east had to be shown to Immigration.
