The extension will allow foreigners to remain in Thailand until Oct 31, Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a government spokesman said. Thailand stopped commercial flights in April and banned foreign visitors in an effort to keep the coronavirus at bay, with repatriation flights the only way of leaving the country. In July, authorities granted automatic visa extensions from late March to Sept 26 to all foreigners. Thailand on Monday extended a grace period for visa renewals for foreigners stranded in the country until the end of October.
