Hi all. 

I've just been placed in quarantine and my visa runs out today. I'm not sure who to report to or what the process from here on out is. 

Could someone advise please?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently in quarantine with an expiring visa and seeks guidance on how to handle the situation. Comments suggest contacting the quarantine authorities to inform them of the visa issue, as they may assist in obtaining an Extension of Stay. It is critical to act promptly, ideally on the same day as the visa expiration. Recommendations include contacting local immigration offices and seeking assistance from community organizations such as the Bangkok Community Help Foundation.

Get doctors letter from hospital.

You can then organize through power of attorney to get an extension.

The longer you wait the more you have to pay in overstay fines.

Do you have any thai friends? They would be able to call immigration up on your behalf to understand what is needed to get the documents required in place.

This just happened to me, so this is first hand Knowledge.

However the duration of extension you can get is completely up to the immigration officer. I went to the immigration office in Samut Prakan.

@James *******

you have someone go to extend in your behalf for two weeks on your behalf with the PCR report and passport.

You best bet Is to find a isolation hotel which will be much cheaper then telling the front desk and having no choice in the matter.

@Cleo ******

This is the post the OP tried to post yesterday..and was referred to Robert Lagas posted announcement on the forum

"Hi all,

I was going to do a visa run to Cambodia on the 25th (the day my visa runs out) But I think I've got Covid. Waiting to receive my PCR results tomorrow.

If I do have Covid, I obviously have to self-isolate and won't be able to do my visa run.

Does anyone know how to go about this? Who to contact for I guess a temporary visa exemption or something?

Any help is appreciated."

Talk to the people who placed you in quarantine and tell them your immigration status. They can make a letter and collect your passport and fees to apply in your name for an Extension of Stay, but it must be done today.
