The Thai government is expected to announce a last minute extension to the visa amnesty program for foreigners who are staying in Thailand because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The visa amnesty, which expired on September 26, 2020, will be extended to October 31, 2020, according to a leaked, unsigned document from the Ministry of Interior and shared by Richard Barrow on Saturday.
Thailand’s Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) will hold an English language media briefing where extension may be announced.
In addition, a Cabinet meeting due to be held on Tuesday could approve the extension before it is published in the Royal Gazette, confirming it to law.
