BREAKING: The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand has just extended the ban on international passenger planes landing in #Thailand to 30 June 2020. This now means that the earliest foreigners can come to Thailand is in July. Presuming that is they don’t extend the ban again. 
The ban on allowing international passengers flying to #Thailand was due to expire on 31st May 2020. Now it has been extended by a month. Exceptions include, state or military aircraft, emergency landing, humanitarian aid, medical & relief flights, repatriation & cargo aircraft.
There are 1,000’s of Thai nationals waiting to be repatriated back to their home country. These flights are not free and are actually quite expensive. The reason that it is taking so long is that there is a daily quota of around 300 & it will take at least until June to complete.
The extension on the ban on international passenger flights means foreigners with work permits or married to Thais, or just general foreigners, cannot come to Thailand until at least July now. If your “visa” expires while abroad, I’m afraid you have to start again with a new visa
