I'm not hoping, if a miracle happens it's fine but I'm not counting on it.

Fun fact, I'm still under consideration since the end of March. I was stuck in Khon Kaen but had to go CM to complete the process, I never went back. Got told no need over the phone by many officers there. But apparently, they give 100 baht penalty per day if you go back so another reason to not go back and just head out before September 26. I went to CM end of march because my stupid Canadian consulate forced me to fly there to get their letter that I've been asked them for over a month. They are doing the same thing now... no letter, I bet they will change their mind last minute like last time but I'm not doing it again, it's pure BS. I'm out with Thai GF. No idea when we are coming back to Thailand. Probably early 2021 if they don't BS me with insane quarantine prices (free for Thai at least). At this point, I just want to clear my mind from Thailand for a few months.

Yeah but what's the point of telling people that they can come before if they tell people to come back in two weeks or if the under consideration end around that date too? Everyone will be there on 24-25, it's gonna be a mess.

Some people when to immigration with letters and never got an extension. They are not giving extension atm.

How can you extend amnesty? Did anyone successfully when to their embassy, got the letter, and got an extension yet? All the stories I heard is that it is not working atm.

Extension of whaT? Most people are on Amnesty.

Canada is a freaking joke, last time it took forever for them to give me a letter around March 26. Please keep us updated about Canada embassy/consulate.

Yes, you are fear-mongering. Your friend didn't have a valid visa. Nobody is saying that ALL agency will give you a real visa, but the one you linked above (American and Thai Wife arrested, etc), is total BS. They are still operating and delivering thousands of visas every month (for 10+ years). Everyone knows about them, they are in Bangkok and their office is well known. Is it legal? No! Legit? Yes! Everyone is getting their cut. Please remember that this is Thailand, legality and legitimicy is different.

I'm heading out with Thai GF before September 26 and not coming back until they come up with an affordable solution. I think most people are thinking like me, but I could be wrong. I would be willing to pay for 6 months - 1-year visa from within Thailand, even if it was 30k baht. But no way am I leaving and coming back the next day to be put in 14 days quarantine with insane cost and all the BS that comes with it.

Yeah, that's great. But that 270 days scheme is not great.
