@Edward *******

seems a little early for drugs mate.

What are you on about?

@Edward *******

because the announcement from Thai immigration clearly states that you can apply for an extension with an embassy letter if your country is still under an outbreak situation.

Canada is.

Todd Yowell weird, I dont recall ever using the word "bad" "getting bad" or any other use of the word bad. Those were your own words.

I said Canada is a country where I have more chance of getting infected than Thailand and that is absolutely the case.

Oh look everyone, Todd Yowell says that, compared to the biggest shit show country on the planet, Canada isnt that bad.

👍

Cool story bro

Any other groundbreaking insights for us?

@Shivan ********

Ya, Canada embassy is not. They lied to me and told me they were not allowed to because thai immigration said all short term visa holders had to leave.

They sent me a partial quote from the announcement and edited out the part allowing extension because of an outbreak situation in your home country.

I sent them the full announcement and then they changed their story and said it was because there are flights available.

I told them flights have always been available and they were available when they sent me a letter back in April.

I sent them a bunch of recent news articles reporting that the Canadian government is saying that the coronavirus situation was getting worse and asked them why they wouldn't just give me a letter instead of forcing me back to a country with more chance of getting infected.

They never responded after that.

It hasn't been made official yet.

No details but rumors that very few countries will be on list for being allowed into the country under the program.

You DO NOT need to go to immigration in order to receive the new amnesty extension.

The extension is automatic and allows you to stay in Thailand until Sept 26.

If you think you qualify to receive a further extension beyond Sept 26th, you will need to obtain a letter from your embassy and go to immigration sometime between July 31st and Sept 26th. The reasons they have mentioned that they will consider granting a further extension beyond Sept 26th are medical and lack of flights or required quarantine in your home country. There is no guarantee they will grant any further extension and every case will be considered based on the information you provide them.

If you plan to leave before Sept 26th, you dont need to do anything.

@Oliver *******

Yes, I'm sure. Paperwork and embassy letters only apply if you are attempting to get an extension beyond Sept 26.

@Gewarin ***********

You dont need anything unless you plan to go for a further extension beyond sept 26th.

No one will have any of these sorts of details until after the cabinet meets and an announcement is made on the decision.

There will likely be a number of infographics released to explain the details, as was the case the last time.
