What Should I Do If My Retirement Visa Expires While I'm Locked Down in South Africa?
I am currently under lockdown in South Africa. My retirement visa expires on 20 May 2020. Thailand closed the entry of foreigners by air till notified differently. My question is, what do I do if I cannot make the deadline of 20 May? Do I have to go through the whole application process again? You advice would be appreciated.
Answer summary
Due to the lockdown in South Africa and the expiration of your retirement visa on 20 May 2020, you will need to reapply for your O-A Visa or another type of visa if you cannot enter Thailand before that deadline. Unfortunately, the entry of foreigners is closed by air until further notice, making the situation difficult.
