FYI just went to Phuket immigration and they have said that until the plan to extend amnesty visas with an embassy letter has been published in the Royal Gazette they are not able to process 30 day extensions.

EDIT: They also said that the embassy letter must be an original, not a printed out copy from an email.

Ok everyone, Just arrived at CM Immigration and had a good conversation about what’s next.

First, this is only a proposal and NOT being enforced by immigration yet. Everyone is still under the 30 April amnesty period as details get sorted out.

I’m told that immigration is awaiting their official announcement to begin enforcement, whatever it may be.

As soon as it is published in the Gazette, we’ll know details.

As soon as I hear anything, I’ll splay it out here.

Bottom line: Extensions ARE coming. Not enforced yet. We don’t know WHO will be affected. There are still loads of questions. But, you can breathe some sort of sigh of relief.

Update you all soon.
