I am South African, work in Nigeria and transit through Dubai to Thailand; is there any indication of the visa exemption (as per Thai Immigration regulations) being rescinded over this period?

Please help as I'm scheduled to fly in on 02 April 2020.
Answer summary
A South African citizen transiting through Dubai to Thailand can expect to receive a 30-day Visa Exempt stamp upon arrival, provided they do not have a visa. However, it is crucial to confirm the current visa regulations and check with the airline due to potential changes.

As a South African you get the 30 day Visa Exempt stamp if you arrive without a Visa.
