Members have recently asked...
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT... after their free three month amnesty extensions end July 31?
The United States Embassy in today's COVID-19 update sent to subscribed Americans this message:
"The U.S. Embassy will no longer provide extension of stay request letters.
U.S. Citizens in Thailand temporarily have between now and July 31 to either return to the United States (or your country of permanent residence) or to obtain the appropriate visa type for your long-term stay in Thailand."
That was the rationale for Thai Immigration in granting the amnesty.
Hopefully it answers your question
Be prepared for your next step on or before July 31.
Good Luck...
Take care...stay safe.
TLDR : Answer Summary
U.S. Citizens in Thailand have until July 31 to either return to the U.S. or obtain the appropriate visa for long-term stay. The U.S. Embassy has stopped providing extension letters, emphasizing urgency for citizens to act before the amnesty period ends.
