i just went ahead and extended on previous deadline of jan 25, today. i dont trust nobody. upside is now i can extend again and get the three weeks more i wanted.

once other asian countries open up i prefer to move around anyways.........this is a special situation. viets and phillipines refuse to open but once they do i would rather just move back and forth

i went today and they dont know about the extension yet. sign on door says today is last day

i went today and they said the covid extension has not been extended that it expires today

did u pay by credit card? if so just file a fraud case with cc company. air asia has had to pay up many times due to this............u paid for a service via cc . u didnt get the service. that is fraud. cc companys take this seriously.................air asia is screwed...............but i want you do know if u dont ever need to speak to air asia, i fly them all the time with no issues.............

im on small island with immigration that aint too busy.........i went yesterday just to check and they said i could come today to extend (before new news came out) and they said no problem. i hear what u are saying though. this has been huge stress on my for 1900 baht. im mad at myself cause i should have just done it in other citys long ago where they gave out the 60 days from time of expiration.............so i hear what you are saying. i willl go again to immigration today and ask if i come on last day if i will have any issues...........thanks

ok but now i have a week to extend. not only just today. what irks me is to get the 60 days i have to go on the final day of my current visa,,,,,,i wish they would give the 60 days now but they dont.......im only going after the covid extension once then i go to home country so i dont feel im abusing the system............but i have been on some visa sites on fb and they lambast me for not getting a "proper visa" . a covid extension is a proper visa. i think they are mad at me cause they are on long stay visas and they cant get the covid extension

dont drink.. problem solved

this has been a big stress for me. i made an error by not getting it extended before in either phuket or bkk. not sure about samui. i wanted the full 60 days and then i plan to leave thailand. some offices only giving 60 days from time of application so now i need to show up at immigration on my last day .......feb 3. thank god feb 3 isnt on a weekend

i will look on barrows fb page for some clarifications

smart move by the govt. so many are leery of coming from out of country right now, the test and go and sandbox are confusing to some.............but they have so many here now in hotels spending money...........best to keep them here spending and renting rooms in hotels.............the locals need it right now.......im the only one in my resort right now............its all to myself........i just paid the lady who runs it a month up front and im sure she appreciates that

my thoughts exactly..........the locals need money. the best way is to get tourists here into hotels and keep them here!!! spending money

so now the debate is the new rules added to the covid extensions

thanks i made so many errors in my search to stay the full 60 days. i was in phuket , bkk,, krabi , samui and now ko tao.............and tomorrow i will go finally to extend. what we need now is clarificartion on who can and who cant partake in the new covid extension. looks like those that came in on a tourist visa or free 30 day entry can partake in this new extension????? my guess is the new rules are weeding out the long stay people in favor of those that have been here 6 months or less?????

u state below that the covid extension is now extended until march 25. but i think u might me mistaken? i think u mean the state of emergency has been extended until march 25 not the covid extension. ???????????

so u have news they have extended it? is it for sure? so if i came in on a tourist visa (already extended the 30 days extra) and i can get the covid extension now up until march 25. is that for sure?

i have to do it tomorrow or else im screwed.i will wait till 2 pm waiting for news

ive waited thru 4 citys to get my covid extension. my current 30 day extension ends feb 3 and i would have liked to get 60 days from that but the offices are telling me that i get 60 days from the date of application. which i will tolerate, but i want all the days i can get thus im waiting until the final hour tomorrow to extend, in hopes of the news the thai govt will extend the covid extensions again before i extend so i can then do the extension in early feb instead. call me crazy................im the only person staying at this resort............why are not the thais extending the covid extension. i would think they want people in good standing here to stay? clock is ticking now. tomorrow last day for covid extensions.

its possible u will not be welcome in thailand anymore? how much money do you spend. do you stay in a nicely priced room or a dumpy room?

no. viets will follow thailand..........plus alot more covid going around viet

both are mandatory thats what in the world they have to do with each other. great work by the cops. the thais wear masks but the entitled farang dont?

im on ko tao im only person staying in a large resort........hotels are hurting they will extend. but for those who need to extend on jan 25. will the news come in time

we will find out on jan 24

all i can say is the competition for tourists is well known to the thais. and my gut says 99 percent sure they will extend the covid extension. other wise people will just bail to cambodia. and viets are giving very strong hints that something is in the works for next month as well.............
