It's not that they are unavailable but that all of a sudden they are looking at your history and saying no more for you, leave or apply for the proper visa or extension.

Whereas before they didn't seem to care, fill out the form, stamp, and on your way.

 

I'm not saying they are doing anything wrong but only that they may now be paying more attention.

Could you please tell us which visa you entered Thailand with? Tourist Visa?

I'll be going next week.

Probably I'll be told to fly out asap now that flights are available. But same as on the last application I'll state in 'Other' category for reasons to stay, "Awaiting covid vaccination".

 

It just possibly may sway a decision to grant an extension or maybe not.

 

Let's face it, who in heck wants to, or, travels un-vaccinated?

what kind of visa did you enter thailand with?

Did a covid sixty day extension last Friday at CW.

Gave me a hard time.

Wanted to know why I had no bank statement showing 400,000 baht.

Made me write a letter saying I was waiting for 400,00 baht to arrive in the bank.

Made me wait one hour and told me this is the last time for extension.

Originally, I had a multiple entry non immigrant visa which has expired in March.

Sigh....

I think scammers in Thailand are at another level.  I was scammed last year and she was a pro. She scammed like 10 people around me. Including someone she knew over 2 years. Pro...

I guess you are right. It is safer to get vaccinated before travel. And immigration officers will understand that!

could anyone share your experiences getting COVID extension this month???

The Bangkok immigration appointment website was taken down almost 2 weeks ago. The are in the process of developing a new site.

There will be no amnesty. There is no country wide lockdown. Only Bangkok and few other provinces are in semi lockdown.

I just got mine in Ayutthaya province, but they were very reluctant, arguing that I can go back to my country already. I had to insist and explain my personal situation to them, they ended up giving it to me, telling me it was the last time I'd get it. I understand them completely and I'm really thankful to them, however I don't want to go back yet with the current situation being what it is. Any reports of other provinces still giving it like it's standard procedure? I'll happily move there to do a couple more extensions if possible.

I got here on Visa Exemption, on March 15th 2020. What about you?

@ubonjoe. Why is the Thai immigration suddenly being tough on extension? Also I thought people who entered with Tourist Visa and Visa Exemption would have no problem getting extension, but why are they being tough like this? I'm going to CW this week, do you think I will face a problem with my application? I entered with Tourist Visa... I've asked this before but I'm getting really worried...

Why were they giving you such hard time? Even though you can go back, the gov gave permission of stay until the end of Sept. Maybe Ayutthaya Immi Office is like that???

Which Visa did you enter Thailand with?

I've read somewhere that I have to make an appointment for visa extension starting July 19th, and I am having trouble finding the website. Could someone please share the link to the website? 

Also do you guys think that we may get free visa extension via COVID amnesty just like last year? Since we are in lockdown now?

Now if Thailand could just get some other nations to donate some COVID vaccine doses it would help Thailand climb out of the vaccine hole it dug for itself.   But once climbing out they would probably fall back in.

So they are basically on mercy of others.

As mentioned in a recent Bangkok Post article, maybe they don't want American vaccines because US corporations must follow US international anti-corruption laws.

I think that is really the case

Pattaya always managed to get through storms somehow. I am unsure how Pattaya mayor plans to open up Pattaya only but have a feeling it will one way or another.

 

It will be super interesting though how it will happen if country goes into a lockdown and cases still rising 

So its going to be Covid vs. Pattaya.

So its going to be the Battle of Pattaya.

Kind of reminds of the Battle of Trafalgar
