Urgent advice needed. Flight cancelled (the second cancellation) on day 90 of our Non O Visa. New flight with Emirates on Friday 20 March. We visited Immigration next morning with full rack of required forms, photos etc. he gave us 7 days temporary extension, so if next flight cancelled we’re in a bad situation again. Officer said as we had already been here 90 days he was not authorised to give another 30! He said either you leave the country and come back in (60 days exempt) or if your next flight is cancelled and you don’t wish to leave you will have to contact the British consulate in Phuket and get a letter from them pleading your case. We are both retired and enjoy 3 months in Thailand once per year. The Immigration officer stamped our passports with overstay and charged 500 BHT each plus the 1,900 fee each. No interest whatsoever that we only overstayed due to cancelled flight. God knows how this might affect our visa application in Dec. Any experiences or knowledge so appreciated so long as it isn’t ’just fly with another airline’ or lecturing me on Thai regulations.

Hi I am a retired Canadian living in Vietnam. Unvaccinated.

I want to move to Thailand for 6 months.

Can anyone advise what Visa options would suit me best? Thanks in advance.
