Now the average tourist is Indian / Middle Eastern. Their daily budged is way below that. A group bus tour, beer from 7-Eleven are not very expensive.

I am curious that Thai gov will extend new TR to 45 days coming soon, but actually most of visitor will stay only 1 to 2 weeks in Thailand. Is the 45 days new policy able to boost tourism ?

Today news said , between Jan and July , only 4 million foreign visitors recorded

Can't believe that they're still giving out "covid extensions" haha. I mean it's great that they are but would probably be time to change the name of this extension and make it permanent or something. 

 

I did covid extensions for over a year but returned to Europe for my normal 3 months summer stay. Now I'm heading back to BKK on an exempt and curious if they continue the covid extensions, does it also apply to people who arrived recently or only those who have been "so called stuck" in Thailand since last year? 

Hi ChomDo,  when you returned to Thailand after 3 months in Europe, Has Thai immigration officer asked you something and try to reject your entry because you have stayed in Thailand over 1 year ? thank you !

Short term extensions of stay (it not a visa) are normally applied for a couple of weeks early.

You could could try and get the extension this week but I do not think you will get one. I have seen no reports of anybody getting a 60 day covid 19 extension for a entry from a STV.

 

The first visitor by STV to Thailand should be the end of October , 2020.

270 days later is the end of July , 2021.

I also have not found any post or news on application of covid visa from a STV holder.

I will tell you the result soon. Thank you !

Why look in a newspaper for info. It is posted on the immigration website. And it has been discussed in several topics on this forum.

The 3 days before is only for long stay extensions.

Thank you for your reply

I am a STV holder, have extended visa twice already.

270 days is nearly spent out (Aug 16).

Now wonna apply for covid visa extension for 60 days, in the coming week

In the announcement ,  it states " all long stay extension" .

(Covid visa) is not long stay extension , so covid visa will not be affected right ?

I still can go (eg. Aug 2) in any day of 45 days before expiry (Aug 16) ? 

Thanks a lot !

You use the standard TM7 form used for all extension applications.

There is no minimum of 15 days to do the application. It can be done up to the last day.

Hi Ubon,

I just read a news in Thai. It states that the Chaeng Wattana(CW) Immi Office , imposes new restriction on the visa extension dates before the expiry coz of covid outbreak.

The earliest date of visa extension is " 3 days before expiry ".

But only 1 news broadcasts , I don't find any other media mention that :

Have you seen any other newspaper double-confirm that policy ?

Thank you !
