Good morning everybody,
I am just outside from CW and I just wanted to share my experience:
I came to Thailand with Tourist Visa, during the period of the normal extension, the Covid spreaded in the country. Having an italian Passport I had to go to the italian embassy to have the letter to be able to stay after the first extension. At CW I have been given 10 days (Under evaluation till 24th of March. After that they regularly stamped my passport till April 11th. So I have a regular the stamp till 11th of April. Seen that I already had one COVID EXTENSION , I thought it could happen as the guy (Uberfarang) that had to go to embassy again and have another letter to be able to renew for other 30 days. INSTEAD This morning I had CONFIRMATION from two different officers (I Regularly took the ticket and waited in line) that seen I have the stamp 11 of April, am good till April 30th as everybody have. So I think the case of Uberfarang was only due to misinterpretaion of the officer he met.
I just wanted to share with all the people in my same situation.
All the officers were very very kind and speaking good English.
Thanks for reading.

Although it is - as usual - somewhat clumsy and ambiguously worded, it is pretty clear that the intent of the lower part of the diagram is that 'EVERY foreigner with a permission to stay stamp in his passport that expires after 26 March does NOT need to report at IO till 30 April'.
Note: Those that applied for the emergency extension and got an 'under consideration' stamp DO need to report, and on approval will get the required permission to stay stamp.
I always thought as you. But I had doubts for situations as Uberfarang where the government is clear but the officer do what he wants! So do you think it worth the risk? Did you see what Uberfarang discovered? In the future they could tell you: "yes but... your situation is different" and you are in a bad situation.

Good morning everybody,
I am fed up of this situation, I am in the same condition of the guy at the beginning (Uberfarang). It happened already one time that I went to Changwattana and the officer did not know what the governement decided the evening before, So I had to explain them how thing are. I will not trust anybody interpretation, MONDAY I WILL GO TO CW and will ask them and if they tell me that I do not need, I WILL NOT TRUST them and I will ask them to provide a letter or a paper that say I do not need. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY OVERSTAY when I will be at the airport. I do not trust people that do not trust the others. I do not trust anybody, am tired, We are in the hand of the single officer interpretation, we cannot trust. I want paper that testify what they decide. "Verba volant scripta manent"
Enough of this story, also I do not even know if I have to bring with me the 9 piece of document in double copy or not, and the girlfriend owner of the apartment or not. (We knew about this from the news and not from government, do you think is normal?)
.
Enough!
If you believe me, we go all monday morning and we can ask once for all!
