Thai Lion and AirAsia has stopped all international flights but Thai Airways and other airlines are still operating. It is easy to leave but will be impossible to come back not until this pandemic has settled. It’s a very tough decision. I do not want to overstay my Visa. I’m already on a 30 day extension from CW Immigration and planned to do a Visa run to Laos (now, Borders are closed indefinitely) and I have all my things here and I’d be paying for rent for my lease until who knows when I would be able to return.

What options do expats in Thailand have regarding visa extensions during the pandemic?

Matt *******

Would like to know what happens when someone extends their visa for 30 days and that 30 days is running out and you can’t travel to Laos/Myanmar/Cambodia to a Thai Embassy and apply for a new Visa. Seems like you either have to overstay your visa in Thailand for who knows how long or fly back to your home country until this pandemic is over. What are the other options?

Why did you wait until now to get back to BKK? Couldn’t you have traveled a week ago

Does a Remark Stamp in My Passport Affect Future Visa Applications in Thailand?

Matt *******

@James *******

Yes I also have the required documents to show proof of onward travel out of Thailand, 20,000฿ in cash and airbnb accommodation.

The only thing I am worried about is if the stamp is going to effect my application I submit to the consulate in my passport country

Does a Remark Stamp in My Passport Affect Future Visa Applications in Thailand?

Matt *******

@James *******

I decided to go for the METV route instead of tourist visas since I am constantly traveling in and out. I guess it is just a gamble then whether or not my application will be accepted or not.

Which Thai Consulates issue tourist visas despite a warning remark from Vientiane?

Matt *******

@James *******

Yes, they issued the visa with a stamp that says "Remark: the holder of this passport used a tourist visa several times which may result in refusal of visa in future"
