Visa extensions in Thailand for stranded tourists, February 2021 | VIDEO

Stranded foreign tourists, either genuinely stuck in Thailand since April 2020, or stuck here by choice, are able to stay in Thailand until May 30.

The order from the immigration department empowers local officers to grant a 60 day visa extensions from January 29 up to May 30.

The order coincides with the world’s Covid-19 situation getting worse and more countries sealing up their borders.

The order allows for a further 60 day extension for people on a tourist visa beyond January 29 when the previous order expired.

Immigration officials have explained the reason for the latest extension is the “ongoing pandemic which has seen many European countries close their borders to non-European Union air traffic.”
