Re Extension of Visa due to Circumstances in the Gulf and the recent notice from Thai Immigration re overstays and extensions.

Does this apply to people on all Visas?

A friend is on a working visa that will shortly expire and won't be renewed. Presumably he cannot extend his working visa as he won't be continuing to work. Does he have any other options with regards to extending whilst these special circumstances are in place regarding the Gulf and travel?

It seems like we might be going into a situation similar to COVID. Note he is British and the British Embassy will not be issuing letters to support extensions. The British Embassy rarely does anything to help British citizens.... compared to other countries.

Adding... after reading a reply to make the post more specific. He hasn't had a flight cancelled and doesn't have one booked. His working visa expires on March 20th.

Thanks in advance.
