No problems, I just wanted to make sure anyone else in the same position follows the advice already given by you guys to go to the immigration office and not trust to luck that they will be covered by the Amnesty. My guess is that I hadn't gone I would have had an overstay fine starting from April 21 and that could cause further complications in the future.

This may not hold true for every immigration office, but according to Hua Hin officials once you get the Cocid-19 emergency extension it is too late to apply for a non-O visa. I suspect that is because it is not a true Visa 30 day extension but is an under consideration stamp.

Many thanks James, I suggest that you can close this thread. The Primary purpose of the initial post was to give people, especially receiving letters from the British Embassy of the problems they may encounter in Hua Hin and to get some advise on a Retirement Visa that I now have good advice on. Thanks guys.

I do not have a home in the UK, my home is in China and has been for 10 years, but now all Visas, including residents visas, are temporarily revoked. And I have provided all the documents but I still have to work my way through the system.

I have a friend that is in the same compound that can now supply all the required documents so that side is sorted. All I need is the updated letter from the Embassy. Many thanks for the heads up on the O Visa. I really do appreciate all the time and effort you guys are putting in to support the brainless amongst us. MYSELF INCLUDED.

Hi Robert, many thanks for the quick response. I have already emailed the British Embassy asking for a signed letter. I am somewhat bemused as to why they did not understand that this was a requirement but we live in interesting times.
