BANGKOK — The Cabinet on Tuesday said it extended the amnesty for foreigners’ stay in Thailand amid the global coronavirus outbreak for a second time.
The automatic extension of stay in the Kingdom, which was to expire on July 31, is now renewed until Sep. 26, according to government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul.
The mandatory 90-day reporting for foreigners residing in Thailand is also suspended, she said. The announcement was later published in the Cabinet minutes released by the government.
Officials said the measure will help travelers who found themselves stranded in Thailand due to travel restrictions brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.
Under the visa amnesty, the foreigners will not have to queue up at immigration to report their residency or extend their stay in the country.
Thai visa extensions approved through Sept. 26
Foreigners will get another two month’s reprieve from Thailand’s immigration laws after the cabinet today approved an extension to requirements .
Days before the current amnesty expires July 31, the cabinet’s approval today essentially resets the clock for foreign nationals until Sept. 26.
The mandatory 90-day reporting requirement for foreign residents is also suspended, government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul said.
The amnesty was put in place in April as the borders were sealed and to prevent crowding at immigration centers. Visas have been automatically extended since.
