What legitimate means to a visa might come with the announcement?

@Don *****

I think they’re making it clear they is the final chance to get a legitimate visa or GTFO. Sep 26 is exactly 6 months after the amnesty period started.

Troy Martin My guess is that a lot of people in Thailand are in that situation. I am one of them, but don’t really have much interest in returning to China even if the borders were open to non-Chinese residents.

Troy Martin China closed it border to non-Chinese nationals on 28 March.

No.

If the issue is monetary, they should just issue a flat fee for overstays of up to 90 days, payable at the airport.

"For foreign tourists in the second group who reported to immigration authorities for a 30-day extension after their visas expired on March 26 or thereafter, their visas will be automatically renewed every 30 days until the pandemic subsides, said Pol Lt Gen Sompong."

What is relevant about March 26? Basically, if you renewed before March 26, then they want everyone back in for another round?

@Jefrey ****

Yes, according to the above.
