What Should I Do If My Retirement Visa Expires While I'm Locked Down in South Africa?

Apr 4, 2020

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.

TLDR : 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.
