WOW, very very likely denied entry in the way your talking about. Now if you spend 1 month in vietnam and get a thai tourist visa your chances are much better but not 100%. I was similar to you and barely got in with a tourist visa after being out for 1 month in two different countries.

 

Would you mind sharing where did you apply for your tourist visa, and how was the process?

So I just got my Covid extension until 21.09. Can I apply for another extension on 23.08 (in a couple of days) or my application will be rejected (since I have another month until my current permission of stay expires)? 

I did so today at jomtien. Same date as yours. See above post. 

Went to jomtien today and got a covid extension (under consideration stamp). I didn't have a tm30 and tried to get one under my gf address, but didn't have blue book photo. Thankfully, the lady was nice enough to tell me that if I show a hotel booking she will give me a tm30 that way. So went out to the lobby, quickly booked a room in agoda, got my tm30, then got my ticket for counter a1, and no one questioned me or gave me a hard time for previous covid stamps. 

Process was long, arrived at 08:00 and finished at 15:30 (they kicked us out at 10:15 and said they'll start calling us at 13:00), but I can say that compared to the situation at lak si, this office was way more friendly and accommodating. Everyone's objective there seemed to be to get you what you need to get the stamp you need. 

My existing covid extension wasn't set to expire until 9/21, so they accepted my application 30 days early. 

Hi all, my girlfriend is a teacher and has recently changed schools but she has found the new school to be a very hostile work environment and is wondering how to get out from under them. 

As of now, she has signed a contract for a year with them, but the school has not filed for her work permit yet as they were waiting for her to get a bunch of paperwork done, which she just completed Friday, and her work permit with her old school hasn't been cancelled yet as they agreed to wait on the new school first. 

So my question is, if she were to decide to leave this current school what would her options be? Could the new school stop her from trying to work elsewhere because she signed a contract with them? A few scenarios she is considering are to go back to her old school because her work permit is still with them and her old boss has indicated there is an opening for her, or she is thinking of leaving the country for a month and coming back in under a tourist or exempt and take her time applying with various schools, but the question on our minds is what power or ability does the new school have over her with the signed contract? 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The new school will have to apply for a work permit for her to get a work permit approval letter that will be needed to apply for a new extension of stay (is not a visa) based upon teaching.

Then the old school will to give her a termination letter stating the last day she will be working to have her current extension canceled to apply for a new extension with supporting documents from the new school.

Not sure why the new school is suggesting a covid 19 extension. I am not sure she will be able to apply for one if she entered the country with a non-b visa. At this time the last day to apply for one is the 24th unless the order for them will will be extended again.

Thank you for this. One thing I'm still unclear on... What's the difference bewteen her non-b visa status vs the extension of stay she gets once she has the work permit? 

My gf decided to leave her job of 5 years and start with a new school (English teacher). Her hr rep at the old school told her to just have the hr from the new school contact her, and the old hr rep has said she will hold off on cancelling her current visa while the new school applies for her new one, but has made mention that she can't wait forever and would probably be cancelling by the end of May. 

The new school is asking her to apply for a covid visa which seems like not the appropriate way to go about this, but I have no expertise so wondering if anyone whose done this before could offer any advice on the matter?

Is it expected that she should change visa status like this, before applying again for a work visa? Is it possible to do this all within country without exiting, or is she looking at exiting and applying in Vientiane? What paperwork if any should she be pressing the new school to file or obtain (as it is not clear yet if the new school is competent in this process)? 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ill be going tomorrow Bangkok visa exemption location (IT Square Laksi Plaza, 3rd Floor)

 

Will report back, let's see if they let me stay another 2 months, I think it would be my 5th covid extension total.

 

 

 

Has the usual location for covid extensions in Bangkok changed? Been reading through this thread and people are saying they're going to cw, and now this place mentored here I had never even heard of... 

Did muang Thong thani finally get shut down? Just preparing myself in advance so I'll know where to go... 

I have some friends who just flew in from Germany and they received 30 day stamps, so I'm assuming this is visa on arrival... 

Has anything changed with the 30 day extensions since covid began, or can they expect to receive the extension with no trouble? And do they have to wait 15 days to apply for the extension, or can they just go after a few days, as they are looking to be certain about their trip duration ASAP. 

Also where are the extensions done now, muang Thong thani or chaeng Watthana? 

Thanks in advance for your advice

My girlfriend and I want to take a quick trip to the beach tomorrow, probably Pattaya, we were thinking to either rent or just book a grab but then with the recent news of travel restrictions we're wondering are their roadblocks (literally) to us getting there? 

Wondering if anyone has tried to travel out of Bangkok yesterday or today. Are there roadblocks checking every vehicle in and out on major highways? Without that it seems like an uninforcable rule. 

Any info is appreciated. Thanks

The site has been down for about a week already. The are creating a new site.

Topic here about it with a announcement from immigration in the OP.

. https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1221766-the-online-booking-form-for-immigration-in-bangkok-will-be-down-for-the-foreseeable-future/

 

Until that time do we just go to Muang Thong thani without an appointment? Need to get my follow up stamp for the pending approval (yes I know I'm late) 

Been trying to book an appointment to go to Muang Thong thani and the website hasn't been loading for me for days now. Tried different browsers and different devices and it just loads a blank white page. I'm wondering is there a known issue, or maybe I have the wrong link?

This is the link I'm using:

Thanks in advance.

What did you need to bring? Just a passport photo and copies? Thanks!

Passport, passport photo, copies of photo page, entry stamp with tm30, and most recent stamp, and 1900thb. 

Just go up to the 4th floor and they'll give you the forms you need and they'll give you a number and you wait to be called. 

For those wondering, covid extension at muang Thong thani was a breeze today. Went at 10am and there were no more than 10 of us there, although I wonder if that will still be true next week as I think the majority of us are due on the 29th. Show up with your passport photo and copies and they'll give you the paperwork you need there and I was in and out within 30 minutes. Paid 1900 baht and received the under consideration stamp to return again on Feb 4th. 

The immigration officer did make a point to say that this will be the last covid extension and "you have to go home now," but she also did mention that afterwards maybe there might be a 30 day extension I could apply for after this final 60 day extension, so take that for what it's worth. 

So just an update for those wondering. For those in the same situation, I'd say now is a really good time to go to immigration.

Just send him this screenshot.

 

 

Yeah so things were apparently happening a little too fast and by the time you had sent that last screenshot my landlord had already gone through and completed the TM30 and showed me a screenshot with my name and passport number. He asked me if I want him to try over again with the option you showed me. The option he used for mine is the one highlighted in the attached image. Do you think it will be a problem? 

He also told me that your screenshot is "not the same what I saw" probably meaning that he does not have an exact match to your options as shown in that last screenshot you sent in Thai... What do you make of that? 

After matching up your two competing screenshots out send my landlord just didn't scroll down enough, which I told him to do, or he simply just doesn't have the option... Either way my position is the same that he did complete the TM30 using the incorrect choice. Any guess as to whether or not it's an issue?

Yes, you need to scroll down. See new screenshot

Thanks for this... I'm wondering if it would be simpler for me to tell my landlord that I'll just do it myself and then download the app and do it on my own... If I were to go that route do you know what info I will need to get from them? Or is it only just my own personal information needed?

I'm only guessing but I think it may be EX-30.

I'm only guessing but I think it may be EX-30

Are there more options than what can be seen in the screenshot you sent? Because I don't see ex-30 anywhere on that list. I just see cy-30 and non30. Thanks in advance

Might be easier if you change the language to english in the app.

 

My landlord is doing it for me so they're reading the Thai options and then just sending me screenshots... But now that you've showed me the English option, do you happen to know which of those choices corresponds to visa exempt? 

Finally got my landlord to try to file online and he's asking which option from the above should I choose. 

My most recent entry was on a 30 day visa exempt, so should she select the 3rd option from the bottom? I know it's in Thai, hoping someone who has done this before might be able to look at this and tell me which is which. 

Thanks in advance

They will need to register on the site to do the report or you could also do it as the possessor/tennent.

Link for site: https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/

You could also do the TM30 report in persons yourself if you have a rental agreement and copie of their house book and ID card.

Hi @ubonjoeif I can get my landlord to file online, how soon can I go to immigration to apply for my covid extension? Is it immediate? What kind of proof or verification will come of the process? Email confirmations or letters on the mail? Wondering what will I need to bring with me after they've processed it. Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

 

Live report for 60 day extension. I went to MTT this morning, the office is quite empty. The process itself should not take more than 40 minutes to submit the application and wait for passport return. But since my officer ask for TM30, i have to go to other building to do self report (Lucky I bring all the required documents). Looks like it depend on officer as well, person sit next to me did not ask about TM30.

 

What need to bring: TM7 + 2 other form, copy passport, photo ID, copy of TM30 notif. Once arrived they will ask you to fill up new affidavit.

 

Got "under consideration" stamp and asked to report back on 1 Dec.

 

Anyway, the IO ask for embassy letter multiple times, but I just say MAI MEE and they accept it.

Could you share what documents did you need for the tm30? How was the process? Had you ever filed one before? Thanks in advance

Bump for the morning crowd... 

Anyone have any advice? 

My girlfriend needs to do her 90 day report tomorrow and all appointments at Mtt are booked, however she saw another 90 day report option available at chamchuri square and booked an appointment there. Did some searching and seems like no one ever posts about going there except for someone talking about a business visa, which is not what my girlfriend has (teacher). 

So question is what will happen if she shows up to this location tomorrow for her appointment slot? Turned away? And as a followup, what would happen if she just decided to show up to Mtt tomorrow without an appointment?

Online reporting is failing for her on both the app and the website, so it seems she's got no choice but to report in person.
