Thank you. As I wrote, it'll be my third covid extension.

Thank you for the precision. But what if you want to leave Thailand after you got the consideration stamp and before you have the application approved ?

Thank you for the precision. So, basically, it means anyway your extension has been already accepted ?

Ok, thank you. If I go to immigration, let say, 10 days before the end of my actual extension (June 14), they are going to ask me to come back before June 14 ? Or after ?

Yes, thank you, just learnt about it. But my actual extension will die on June 14 and I don't want to wait the last moment to know if they are going to extend it again: plane tickets are not especially cheap these days...

What ? You've to go two times ? ???? My previous covid extension is ending on June 14: the "under consideration" could extend after this date ?

Thank you, I already know this. Still, the covid extension is not mentioned, I just want to be sure it has not been cancelled.

I need to go to Laksi for a new covid extension : what do you mean by "the return date is now a month" ? What do you call "the return date" ? UPDATED. Ok, I got the information. Things are moving fast in Thailand, everything is new since my previous covid extension...

Ooooups! Many many thanks for letting me know !!! Well, it's good news as for me Laksi is easier to go and I know the place and the IT Square. But 60 days covid extension is not precisely mentioned (even if "Short-term Visa Extension for Visa Exemption" is mentioned). So, does someone has experience about 60 days Covid extension at Laksi ? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm in Bangkok and I'm planning to go to Muangthong Thani immigration before May 26 to get a third 60 days covid extension. Do some people have recent experience about this 60 days covid extension with this immigration office at Muangthong Thani ? Thank you !

GRAB cars/drivers have a GPS, so no problem. And yes, it's just what I showed up to the taxi drivers (+ the full address in Thai), still it didn't make it !

I also show them on Google Maps and it didn't help. From MTT to BTS it's very easy but from BTS to MTT, as the road is on the left side and you must turn right there is an extremely complicated moment and without GPS it's easy to make a mistake. But yes, maybe I could tell them it's next to Impact Arena.

Ok, thank you !

BTW, thanks for the Google Map : so, there is an "Impact Hall 6" station, I don't need to go to the terminal bus about 1 km from the MTT office ?

Sure, no problem: before I used to walk from Lak Si to Government Complex (2 kms). I was just asking, in case such a shortcut exists, otherwise, no problem to walk !

Seems many taxi don't know MTT: the first time I tried to take one from BTS Wat Phra Sri, the closest BTS station and two taxis didn't know how to go to MTT (I had the full address written in Thai), so eventually I used Grab from Wat Phra Sri to MTT. Now, I've used Grab from my apartment in Bangkapi to MTT but still not cheap and slow due to traffic.

I also used to fly from Busan to Osaka (only 1 hour). But unfortunately, Japan borders are always completely close for tourists.

Yes, I didn't want to wait for the last week... but it's just what they have asked me to do : coming back between March 21/25.

No more quarantine for South Korea from March 21 (well, not exactly a land border but not so far, before covid I used to pass some months in Busan). That said, it's a little crazy: they are stopping quarantine when they are experiencing an all high new contaminations : +383.651 new cases !!!

No, they don't. At least not in Bangkok.

It's the reason why I reported this experience: to avoid to other people the same experience. I can't read all AseanNow posts and after 18 years in Thailand I never experiences this kind of problem before so I didn't make a research about it.

Thank you ! Still, going from Bang Kapi to Victory Monument is not easy. The problem is the construction of the Yellow Line (monorail), making traffic horrible near my apartment. From Muang Thong Thani bus terminus to MTT office, is there a shortcut or should you walk (about 1km) to the main entrance ?

What does it change for them ? I came today because for now the covid extension will expire on March 26 and I didn't want to wait the last moment to ask for a new extension. My idea was the immigration will be more crowded on the last week (21 to 25).

Hello everyone, So, this morning, I went to the Thai Immigration Bureau Muangthong Thani to get a new Covid extension but the people checking the forms and photocopies told me that, as my actual first covid extension is expiring on April 15, it was too early and I must come back between March 21 and 25 (March 25 is the last day for actual covid extension). As I came from Bangkapi, about 20 kilometers from MTT I lost all my morning and some bahts with my Grab transport...

Thanks for the tip: will be June 14 for me !
