Accepting a job offer to Thailand during a pandemic what a joke.. shouldn’t you ask your employer how you’re supposed to get there during this pandemic when there is a travel ban?
This is the big problem people are facing with amnesty. What do people do who have a Non-B/Non-O visa that expires in June/July? So we are automatically converted to amnesty which ends 31 July. But then have no where to go to renew our Non-B/Non-O Visa because bordering countries are closed. So it doesn't make sense for Thai immigration to kick people out when under normal circumstances we would be able to renew our Visa and get an extension good for 1 year. But now since we can't do that. What are the options? Just overstay?
Since when was it legal to live in a country without a visa? You’re pretty much trying to argue that you should be allowed to live in Thailand on an extension that was put in place to give people time to get a flight out. Can you name any other country in the world who allows this? I’m pretty sure if a foreigner goes to Europe, US, Japan or any other country you are allowed to stay there for 3 months before your time is up or figure out a way to live there long-term with a real reason such as working or marriage. If you’re able to get the correct visa in the UK, then what’s stopping you from going back there to get it?
No one is paying 1,000 baht per day. the people relying on amnesty to “live” in Thailand stay home all day in their condos. Otherwise what’s the reasoning for not having a Non-B, Non-O or Thai Elite visa? Either you have family here, married, retired, or work here which means you’d have the correct visa otherwise what other reason do you have besides just wanting to hide out in Thailand because you don’t want to go back to America?
Then why can that denied tourist easily go to Laos and enter through the border with no problems at all? Before covid hit there was a huge problem of airport immigration officers denying tourists just because of the amount of visas in their passport, but when they enter through a land border the officers there let them in with no questions asked even with the big “denied entry” stamp on the same page. Cause they know it’s a BS denial.
