Yes i have seen the news before and been waiting as long as i could but decided today to make a run for it. If i just waited another day... lol.
No they did not process my extension and i did not get any confirmation/receipt so really hope this will be announced tomorrow. I do not want to go back there again.

Hello guys, first post here but been reading awhile so thought i would share my experience today at Samut Prakan immigration.
Arrived around 15:00. I came a bit late but thought if theres too many people i will go back tomorrow instead.
Had all the documents with me which they checked slowly and carefully. I had to make a few copies and then got a queue number. I asked the immigration staff quickly about further extensions if Covid 19 dont get any better after a month and i was told that i had to come back again and extend again. This was between 15:30 and 16:00. Never mind i thought, im sure she cant give any info without anything being officially announced.
Sat down outside and saw a western man recieve his passport, he looked satisfied. Great i thought, i hope there wont be any trouble today.
Waited for another 30 minutes and with only three numbers ahead of me the guard let me inside the building were i waited another 15 mins. Finally my number was called. Happy it was soon finally over and prepared with loads of documents, i went up to the counter...
Even before i handed in my documents the officer said something i couldnt hear. Sorry, what? Before she could answer some others cut the line and started to ask questions in thai. Please dont tell me they closing for today or similar i thought.
When those in front left, the officer told me that visa was now automatic. They just sign the papers but it has not been officially announced yet. Then she said that my visa will be automatically renewed every 30 days but if the Covid 19 situation become better, i need to leave within 7 days. Not sure if i heard correctly or if this was some kind of mistaken info but NOT what i wanted to hear. If all the tourists in the whole country need to leave within 7 days... well you can imagine. Anyway, for now im just happy to be able to stay and not having to go to immigration again.
And again, to be clear nothing has been offically announced yet, so rules might change in the future.
Cheers!
