  1. Hello, I was wondering if 'fit-to-fly certification' is required to get on board at the Suvarnabumi airport? My destination country no longer requires PCR test for entry, just Rapid Antigen Test. If any of you have had recent experience at the airport please share!!
  2. I don't really understand this part. The IO could've just given the stamp, instead of saying that things will change.
  3. It is okay to be a few days late to close the under consideration stamp with the official extension stamp. Just don't get into trouble after January 30th, until you officialize your under consideration stamp. I think you will be fine.
  4. Well my destination country is still requesting mandatory quarantine & pre-departure covid test. Recently they have started asking for 48 hours pre departure test instead of 72 hours. I know that there are many countries opening up and getting over with this pandemic. But there are countries still not decided with which way to go. I don't even think Thailand has made up its mind yet neither. Instead of rushing to kick people out, I think they should take it a little slower. I read that in most countries current Covid wave will hit the next high sometime in February or March. And sometime in April or May, life will start to get back to normal. Or maybe life must get back to normal. Regardless of severity of the pandemic, people like me are under the grace of government policy making.
  5. Well, what about for someone who entered the country with tourist visa and didn't change visa type and continued getting covid extension??? Will things be different?
  6. Ah... I'm a bit confused....and worried..... I have until late March to leave. But according to the recent announcement I can apply for another extension. So I can reapply for another one right? (entered via Tourist Visa)... And when I apply for another extension in late March, I just need to fulfill some of the listings on affidavits of covid extension right? What you are saying is for the people who want to stay in Thailand after the government stop issuing the covid extension right? Or will I need to fulfill 'standard' reasons for my covid extension application in late march?...
  7. So you are talking about the list of reason for extension on the "affidavit and other papers" we sign at the immigration for the covid extension? So 'Pandemic is still ongoing back home & etc.' is good enough for another extension?
  8. I agree that the immigration rules should be the same in all of Thailand. Whenever I go to the immigration, I feel as if I'm about to play Russian roulette. I personally don't like all these confusions and unnecessary stress.
  9. I think that depends on immigration office. Are you in Bangkok? Different immigration offices seem to go by different rules.
  10. Sigh.... So what does this new extension rules mean for us? We have until March 26th to apply for another extension, and get 60 more days? So those who are granted can stay up to late May??? Also, how soon can I apply for an extension? I usually hear 30 days. But an IO once told me 45 days, but that was a long time ago.
  11. I recommend you to recheck the new 'covid extension' requirements. I think I read that it will only be given to those who originally entered the country via 'visa exemption' and 'tourist visa'.... In the other facebook forum, I read that those who currently have 'covid extension' but entered the country via other visas will not be given 60 day extension but instead 10 day extension. I'm not sure of the situation, this is what I've gathered so far...
  12. Maybe the order has not been delivered to their department or something? It probably has something to do with bureaucracy
  13. Up to you. But I've noticed that IOs shift their attitude depending on a given circumstance. Why don't you just straight up ask an IO, if they could give you 60 days from the time of expiration?
  14. Better to go sooner than later IMO. I've noticed that people are more likely to bump into more problems when they apply for the extension closer to the deadline. IOs know that those people will consider using visa agency when they bump into trouble at the immigration when they have little visa time left. If I were you I wouldn't wait until the last day. Better and cheaper to do it now and maybe get another extension later. Just my opinion.
  15. I hope its okay to post this here... According to Richard Barrow... If you have VOA you cannot change to Covid stamp If you have a Tourist Visa you can change to Covid stamp If you have a Non B, for example, and you lose your job, you cannot change to Covid stamp
  16. Thank you for the update!!! Amazing Thailand!!!!! (Until March 26th for now....lol)
  17. I also sensed that there is a money grabbing strategy going on. People seem to bump into more trouble when they apply for an extension closer to the deadline. Initially I didn't think that the government would be in this too, but now I feel like it is possible that there are some kind of understanding between parties within the government. Just my gut feeling.
  18. Well.... They have extended the 'state of emergency', and the '50:50 economic stimulus plan'..... I don't see why they wouldn't extended '60 day covid extension' ..... I think the government has more important things to get over with before solving our problem......
  19. If the economy is the number 1 priority, wouldn't it make more sense for the extensions to continue?
  20. What do you mean by your sources? Do you mean the news released to the public? Or do you happen to know some government workers?
  21. Maybe. But it looks like Vietnam has been giving free visa extensions to stranded foreigners.
