they also told me I would not be forced to leave if the borders were still closed. I do not expect anything to which I am not entitled but what I am entitled to us not currently available. Same for many people so I beleive they will make it available at a cost which is fair enough.
I have applied logic to the situation after obtaining as much information as possible from many sources. I am not a gambling man but I would put money on the fact that no one on amnesty will be forced to leave on July 31st. A lot of money is changing hands right now and that will be allowed to continue to the last minute. A lot of money will be lost if we are forced to leave and it wont happen. They can make more money out of us yet, and I am ok with that, and they would be foolish to lose the opportunity. The Thai people are not fools.
I should add that i have packed my bag today just in case!
what you say is quite ironic. 4 immigration officers at 2 different offices have told me to wait and see what decision is made. Yet, you say that this is the worst advice that anyone could give and, at the same time, advise that people should talk to immigration. You realy dont have a clue.
this is why they will not issue me a Non O 90 day. They will only issue visas and extensions available in country if you have a valid Visa and amnesty is not a valid Visa. I think this will have to change and those who are normally able to do whatever required on Visa run will be allowed to do so in country. Similarly for those whose visas expired during amnesty. There will be a lot of people having to fly on 31st otherwise. They probably thought the borders would be open on 31st July when setting the amnesty expiry date.
