when we were at the Phuket Immi office on August 22nd they were refusing to process ANY visas at all- or offer any advice re: visas. They told everyone to come back on Sept 15th- despite the fact that all visa options will be very limited by then, and it will be chaos. 🙁
Sadly, we have not been able to obtain any extension visas from Phuket Immi for our foreign children attending an international school (entered on tourism visas, currently under amnesty, now attending school). We visited Phuket Immigration in August to attempt the process and were told to return on Sept 15th. It was our intention to then apply for Non-O and Guardian visas for ourselves.
We now have embassy letters and will approach Immi again on 15th to request Ed visas for our girls, and start the process for Guardian visas (I hope), but we will likely get the 30day embassy letter extension as an interim.
