Can Hubei people stranded in Thailand return?

Tourists from China were very sensitive during the epidemic, and many places indicated that they would persuade them to return. If Hubei people stay abroad, can they return to China after the quarantine period? Everyone responded to the demand for staying in Thailand.

Previously, according to the latest document issued by the National Immigration Bureau of Thailand, due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus, the China government ordered the closure of Wuhan, Huanggang and Ezhou airports from January 23rd, resulting in a large number of China tourists unable to return home and stranded at Thai airports.

In this regard, in order to solve the urgent needs of tourists, the Immigration Bureau decided to waive the detention fine for tourists stranded in Thailand for the above reasons according to Article 54 of the Immigration Control Law.

According to the Immigration Bureau of Thailand, China tourists stranded in Thailand due to the closure of Wuhan, Huanggang and Ezhou airports have been exempted from detention punishment. From now on, the scope of application of the above policy will be extended to all China citizens who entered the country with tourist visas or landing tourist visas due to the novel coronavirus epidemic and stayed in Thailand. The specific procedures will be handled directly when they leave the country. Thailand stressed that the introduction of this temporary policy does not mean that China citizens can stay in Thailand for a long time at will.

It should be noted that this measure is only applicable to return air tickets and China tourists whose destinations are indeed the cities around the closed airport, as well as tourists from the truly affected areas. Other China tourists who are not in the closed airport area will still be fined as usual.

Due to the suspension of all flights in and out of Wuhan, China Southern cancelled three flights in and out of Wuhan on January 24th, resulting in nearly 7, tourists stranded at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

in order to provide convenience for China tourists who can't return to Wuhan due to the cancellation of flights, Suvarnabhumi Airport set up an "Airport Operation Center" in Room CIP5 on the 3rd floor of the passenger terminal building from January 25th to February 9th, with the telephone number of -2132-995.

China citizens who enter the country with tourist visas or tourist arrival visas and are stranded due to the epidemic need to extend their visas, so they need to go to the China Embassy and Consulate to issue letters, and the Immigration Bureau will handle them as appropriate. Like all visa extensions in the past, the Thai Immigration Bureau will charge a fee of 1,9 baht.

In view of the above policy of Thailand, the China Embassy and Consulate in Thailand will issue a letter of consular assistance to China citizens who intend to apply for visa extension free of charge. The specific matters to be handled are hereby notified as follows:

1. Applicants' qualifications:
