I got told by an official the request to extend amnesty as been submitted to the government and pending approval. They refused to tell me for how long it would be extended nor guarantee it would be approved, but unlikely it would not be.

@Robert ******

once he get his 60 days extension, can he convert is ED Visa to Non-O based on marriage? (I understand right now he doesn't have the required 21 days left on his current permit of stay)

@Robert ******

I have mixed feelings right now as this makes me really happy and overwhelmed, but I can't believe the visa agencies who told me I needed to do a visa run to get the Non-O and the immigration itself that discarded my proof of funds when we came there to instead offer me an extension of stay rather than the conversion. Maybe they figured I didn't have enough time left on my stamp to do it 😁

Thanks for your answer!

Well said.

@Michael *******

there are no flights linking Canada and Thailand at the moment. More than 70 Canadians are on stand by at Survanhabhumi (w/e spelling) and nothing is available.

@Scuba ****

Canadian and UK consulate operate under different rules. You can't generalise like this, please let's keep the information accurate here. Canadian consulate doesn't issue letters at this time.

@Tod ********

in Koh Samui (might be irrelevant for Chaeng Wattana but better be ready than not) they also requested a copy of landlord ID card (both sides, signed) and a copy of her house book. House book copies should include the first page and the name page. Good luck and success 😉

Alright, I think that answers my questions, thank you very much!!

Laos closed. Not officially, but they cancelled VoA and eVisa, leaving the two Laotian consulates in Thailand to issue Visas, which they stopped to do.

@Stuart ********

thanks, wasn't sure because everyone keeps talking about 8 months and with the extension it's closer to 9 than 8 in total.
