They are here on Multi Non O's and heading that way next week.

Just had the immigration police round to veryfy my visa extension based on marriage and I asked them what the situation was for border crossings with regards to expats on Non O multi entry. Boarders are only closed to Thai leaving. Thai can enter and farangs can come and go. Its to stop the naughty "ex" politicians from doing a runner.  runningdog

They closed it? I thought that the fact that there was no traffic across the border that led to its closing.

Incorrect. The only crossing that out performs CC is Poipet and that's in another league of its on.

^^^^ GL when you say "NOBODY" in or out are you referring to both Thai and Farang ?

If so, then that is contrary to what Alan was told by visiting Immigration offices in Reply #3 above.

"Just had the immigration police round to verify my visa extension based on marriage and I asked them what the situation was for border crossings with regards to expats on Non O multi entry. Boarders are only closed to Thai leaving. Thai can enter and farangs can come and go."

What part of the word nobody do we not understand? YES. NOBODY. Thai,farang, Cambodian. icon_heart

Personal insight. These crossing COULD be closed for a couple weeks. The powers to be DO NOT want anybody in RED leaving Thailand.

Chong Chom Border Market is closed,WHY? Daaaa. redman

OK.

So, in your talks with the KCI officers was anything mentioned about people who needed to exit / enter to activate their next 90 day stay on their Multi entry Non O's ?

That's the 64 million dollar question. The only crossing that may be open for this may be Poipet. By all reports all other crossing into and out of Thailand are ether closed or under limited entry only. As I come across trust worthy info on this (NOT RUMORS) I will pass it on.I know this has people by the shorts but until BK clarifies..Set back and have a beer or 24.
