I did with bkk bank on tourist visa. I just did thier insurance biz

@Tod ********

That's not an extension of stay based on "Embassy request". I am from the USA. They don't issue those letters. And that stamp was put in in july and actually has the end date of the end of the auto visa extension granted.

so it's your opinion that you can't get any kind of Non-Imm visa issued.

How about you state that you think you can't get it done. And then maybe offer advice that's legal to actually help people to work through the system.

Plenty when he turns off commenting and denies posts that show he is wrong. Amazing what you can do when you are the admin of a group. But he has to deal with being called on his bullshit in other forums.

And yes I was respectful when First responding and then he called my comments bullshit!

@Tod ********

stop acting like you are the almighty end all be all to Thai visa information.

I didn't say to only talk to a visa agent. I also said go talk to you local immigration officer.

I have not and did nothing illegal to get my situation taken care of. I didn't pay any exorbitant fees. Everything above ground and approved by immigration.

Why is it that for you, all visa agents are crooked and are only out to screw people over.

There is nothing wrong with saying that you don't know something. I have and will do that many times in my life.

And maybe you should care what embassies and immigration say in "ENGLISH" about the amnesty/extension.

You think your all high and mighty running a Facebook group and making posts with no commenting and denying posts because it doesn't fit your narative of being wrong. 🙄🙄🙄

You are 100% wrong about a stamp for the covid/amnesty/extensions.

I have included a picture of the first line. Translated it states

"COVID 19 Aliens are granted the right to extend their stay in the Kingdom."

There is more wording and date information but as that is information that is private I don't feel the need to share that with the rest of the world.

If that's not an amnesty/extension of stay stamp I don't know what is!

@Duncan ******

finally!

@Tod ********

I have an issue with your comments here.

My embassy and even immigration has refered to it as an automatic visa extension.

Your saying that you can't change your visa status in country.

What you are stating is true and false. It is at the discretion of the immigration officer and circumstances.

I know first hand that they are doing visa changes in country.

They are putting a covid stamp on your passport to reflect the auto extension. Then they are isueing your new visa. They are using your last entry stamp as the date of your entry into the company.

So if you change to a 1 year type of visa your clock actually starts when you were last admitted into the country.

Now there are some visa types you can not change in country and they are not allowing you to do that except in very special circumstances.

The best advice you can give is to go talk to a reputable visa agent or directly talk to immigration about the situation. And people need to be doing that now! Not waiting until the last minute.

And if the official immigration officer says you can't change in country then that is what it is. But people need to go talk to them.

Yes any other visa you hold needs to be canceled. No working on a Thai elite visa.

@David ******

thanks. It's a foriegner rate not a white rate. There are plenty of non white foriegners.

@James *******

are you married for two or not?

@Jay ******

yes that is typical. But you can see that there are some foriegners being allowed on such flights.
