I had never noticed it until someone pointed it out recently-evidence of how we skim-read across words and can read them if sufficient letters, particularly the first and last letters of a word are correct. But now I can't unsee it-please change it

Thank you

@Garr****

I asked in this group as it is usually supportive and helpful

@Mark *****

thank you for your answer. I am not leaving Thailand, nor taking masks anywhere, but I do have friends in Queensland and Perth who can't find masks anywhere so I responded to others assumptions that masks were readily available in Australia. I asked because I have a friend (who is not on facebook) leaving for Canada, and we were discussing how many, if any masks he was permitted to take for his long journey with multiple layovers

And

@Reiner ********

what is the difference between someone buying a personal supply here and using them here or buying the same number and taking them with ie those masks would still not have been available to anyone else here

I think that's the issue though, many people cannot buy them in their home country

Not much point Richard, adding "stay safe" when over 300 foreigners are being forced by immigration procedures and requirements to do anything but "stay safe"

@Matt ******

I think in this instance you are wrong. As many countries have closed borders completely and flights to the countries that haven't, are no longer available, then the usual rules cannot be applied. Other countries are having to extend the same generosity to Thai citizens stuck in their country

So

@T**

are you advising that those on the retirement visa (non immigrant O) not go to immigration early in the 45 day period before their extension expires, but to just go one week or two days before? I am concerned that we may not have freedom of movement in coming months to go to the bank (if they are still open two months hence) to order the required bank statements/letters to get the extention. Otherwise you could have multiple retirees unable to get their extention/meet the requirements/have to relinquish their rental properties/pack and store their entire belongings and rehome their pets with only two to seven days to accomplish this? Surely it is better to get the extension sooner rather than later so that if applications for extension are unsuccessful, there are still flights out of Thailand

Yep, so annoying. I couldn't transfer money today either

@Matt ******

is Singapore an option for a visa run. As far as I know tbeir borders aren't closed
