However, if they do not obtain extensions and are still in the country after Sept 26, they would face legal action and be blacklisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urged foreigners to contact the bureau as soon as possible to prepare for their next steps in order to avoid crowding as the Sept 26 deadline approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign visitors must specify their reasons and submit necessary documents when seeking to renew short-term visas, which will be granted for 30 days, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If they are unable to return because there are no flights or due to lockdown measures in their countries, they must submit proof. The granting of a short-stay visa will be made on a case-by-case basis,&#8221; Pol Lt Gen Sompong said during a visit to Phuket, a province with a high number of stranded foreigners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the bureau had asked the Council of State about the proposed short stay and it had advised that the Interior Ministry could issue an announcement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the Interior Ministry&#8217;s visa relief measures for foreign visitors would be submitted to the cabinet for approval next Tuesday. The bureau would later issue guidelines on how to apply for a visa extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said those who planned to return to their home countries did not need to contact the bureau but also had to leave Thailand by Sept 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He estimated that between 300,000 and 400,000 foreigners were stranded in the kingdom due to the lockdown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government earlier automatically extended their visas until July 31, but they must still inform authorities where they are staying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/35.197.150.33\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/3694776-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-800\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Source : <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokpost.com\/thailand\/general\/1953220\/foreigners-can-apply-for-visa-extension-after-july-31\">Bangkok Post<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 17, 2020 Foreign visitors still stranded in the kingdom by the Covid-19 pandemic will be allowed to apply for an extended short stay after their visas expire on July 31, the Immigration Bureau chief said on Friday.
