You are now officially on overstay, your extension expired on 30 November. Take enough money with you to pay for the overstay and hope for a lenient IO

Nope. Everything was normal. No overstay or anything. Just gave my passport, got the stamp and was out again after 5 minutes.

You will not be fined for a oversty. Many people have gone late without a problem.

 

Thank you. I was hoping for a answer from you with good news. I will still bring some cash just to be safe.

What day does your extension of stay expire? If it still hasn't expired, you are not on overstay. The under consideration date is not set in stone.

My former covid extension expired 19th of november. I went the 19th of november and paid the 1900 baht for a new covid extension and got the under consideration stamp that says I have to come back 30th of november. I just forgot it so now I will be 3 days late when I go tomorrow.

you got an extension in 12 days?

 

My report back date is normally one month after submission of about 4" of paperwork!

I got the under consideration stamp that says I have to come back 30th of november. When I got it before it was normal 1 week after I had to come back, but this time it was a little longer.

Hmmm, conflicting answers. I will take some money to be sure.

No problem

Thank you. That's a reliefe

Hi. I went to immigration the 19th of november for the covid extension. I got the under consideration stamp that says I have to come back 30th of november. I completely forgot it and just remembered it now so my plan is to go tomorrow. Would that be a problem that I am 3 days late? It is Phuket immigration

By the way. When you go you have to go upstairs ???? The covid 19 extension is upstairs.

I see there is a report that you are only getting a 7 week stamp from the under consideration date which is one week from the date of application, so 1+ 7 weeks = 8 weeks or 56 days in total, not the full 60 days?

I wouldn't take it so litterally ???? I just think the guy says 7 weeks in stead of 7,5 weeks.

@balsgaardThanks for the tips. What did you mean by "to get the last 7 weeks"? 
I was planning on getting there before the office opens at 8:30AM either tomorrow or Friday, surely they can't tell you to come back the next day if you are among the early birds for the day. 

My stay runs out on Nov 30 and I certainly don't want to leave it till then at this rate. There is also a QueQ app for getting an online queue number. Saw it on the Phuket Immigration website. Did anyone use any kind of online queue ticket?

I dont know if people have used that. I didn't know about it.

I just think the information guy meant to get the last period of the 60 days. Many people feel that 4 weeks = 1 month, so if we get 60 days that is = 8 weeks. The under consideration stamp is 1 week and that means we have to get the last 7 weeks stamped in when we come back.

I didn't see anyone being told to come back at the end of the month actually. I am guessing it was another guy who said it then.

Headed to Phuket Town today and was told to come back end of month because like you said, extension will start from the date of application.

 

Looks like it's going to an easy extension. No embassy letters or any fancy papers needed. ????

That's odd. Was it the german old guy who likes to talk who gave the queue numbers and told you to come back later? Because yesterday he told people to come this week because number 30 would be packed and immigration would probably be open until late.

Thanks for the report @balsgaard! 

 

Do you know if the 60 day extension runs from when your current permission expires (say Nov 30), or from the date you apply? There has been previous reports saying that the 60 days start from the date you apply and you would lose days if you apply early.

 

Do you put down "60 days" in the TM7 form for duration and "COVID" for the reason?

 

When is the best time to go in the morning to ensure I get a queue number? I'm a long ways from Phuket Town and an expensive taxi ride away so don't want to have to go all the way there just to get a queue number for the next day. If the office is open at 8:30AM, should I be there at 8:30 or earlier? I assume you went to the main office in Phuket Town.

 

Planning to go tomorrow.

 

Thanks very much in advance!

 

 

 

I am not sure, since my last extension expired number 24 (the day I went to immigration). But I think it runs from the day you apply because the guy who gives the queue numbers and checks the documents and so on told every people to come back 1st of december to get the last 7 weeks.

I wrote 60 days on the TM7 and just wrote "covid 19" for the reason. And I only ticked "unable to get embassy letter" on the affadevit. That's .

It is best to go in the morning but I'm afraid that you can only get a number for the next day. It was like that yesterday and I assume it will only get worse with more people coming by immigration the following days. My guess is that if you come tomorrow morning you will get a queue number for friday. If you come tomorrow afternoon you might be unlucky if the numbers have already been given out.

I would be surprised if you can get a queue number for the same day you come.

I went to the immigration office in Phuket Town.

Sorry, I paid the usual 1900 baht of course :)

Here is the beauty

The reason for mini vacation is because you will get an under consideration stamp and have to come back 7 Days after to close the loop. So 1 week holiday while you can stay in Thailand ????

Phuket immigration (not patong but Phuket town) gave people 60 Days extension today. So if people have trouble getting it, just go to Phuket and take a mini vacation and get your extension here. Easy and no need for embassy letter. Just the normal documents + affadevit

I entered through land border and was stamped in for 30 days and then I got 30 days extension before I went on amnesty. I then obtained 60 days extension before september 26 based on having a Thai child. My 60 days extension ends around november 23 if I remember correct.

If I understand correct, I can go to immigration and ask them for change my date, so it goes from november 1 until December 31? Or is it only if you got the 60 days extension through NON O visa?

My immigration is in Phuket Town btw and I am aware of the post before saying can not do in phuket. But it might (I hope so) just be a rude staff.

Anyone have experience with that company?

I will go phuket immigration tomorrow and get 60 days extension based on having a child here.

I talked with TMT visaservice and asked about my options after that. They told me that they can give me a 1 year visa and the cost is 35.000 baht without showing money or 30.000 baht with showing money. I have no experience with visa agents so I would like to hear if that is the normal price and if you have any experience with TMT visaservice.

Yes for both. 

You put 60 days and write to vist my Thai child in the space for the reason.

I actually did that yesterday but when I went to the information desk to get a number the officer looked at my papers and wrote 30 Days and deleted 60 days that I wrote already and told me to buy 30 Days for 1900 baht and then go in and buy 30 Days more for 1900 baht. I was so confused 555

Okay, thank you so much.

Yes it can be done.

It can depend upon the office where you apply for it though but most will do it.

Okay that is good news. I thought it were 60 days extension only or 30 days only. That i had to choose. I apply at immigration in Phuket town btw. Do you know if I have to fill out the normal form like I do with the 30 days extension and then just write 60 days on how many Days i want to extend? Think it is called TM7 if I remember correct.

It seems there might be some confusion about what they were telling you. You can only get one 30 day extension per entry.

You could get the 30 day extension and then the 60 day extension to visit your child near the end of it at most immigration offices.

Just to be sure I understand you correct. 

I am now on my 30 days extension bought at immigration for 1900 baht. It Will expire 29th of december. If I go to immigration before 29th december i can buy 60 days more? That would give me a total extension of 90 days

Hello TVF. I am new to this forum but have recently read a lot in here.

I am on a tourist visa now, that I was planning to extend by 30 days more. I was told that I can extend it by 60 days because I have a thai child (born almost 2 months ago).

I went to immigration in Phuket town today, and I was told that I had to pay 2 x 1900 baht. First I had to pay the 1900 baht for the 30 days extension, and then I should go upstairs and get 30 days more based on having a thai child for 1900 baht again. I only had about 2500 baht on me because I was under the impression that it was only 1900 baht for the 60 days extension. Then the officer told me no problem.. I just get the 30 days extension now, and then I can come back to immigration during the 30 days, and get 30 days more for 1900 baht. I must say that I doubt it all, but of course it can just be me who has misunderstood all I have read online.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thank you so much.
