Corvid visa extension at CM

[sanemax]

Just got my " Corvid" visa extension done at CM immigration .

It was quite well run behind the counters , quick and efficient , the problem was with applicants not knowing the procedure .

So, heres what you do .

When you arrive you get a heat test done  and if you pass that you tell them you want a corvid visa extension 

They send you to a separate  place on the right and give you a number .

You are then made to sit in one of the 30 seats all adjacent  and shuffle along the seats as applicants are being processed at the counter .

The six (12) forms that you will need are :

The usual application form

The usual passport biodemetric page photo copy

The usual latest Thai visa in PP photocopy

The letter from your embassy (Colour photo copies accepted)

Two forms that you need to read and just sign which are provided on the desk

Everything needs to be written in blue ink .

Six forms , all  those need to be photocopied and signed in blue ink 

I suggest that you take two paper clips along and a folder to keep all the documents in and keep them as two sets

(And do not fold any of the papers)

Wait for your turn in the queue , (no numbers are called out)

Hand both sets of documents in along with the 1900 Baht

This is just for checking

If all your documents are in place  , they will send you to the application window a few meters away

Wait in the queue and hand the documents in when its your turn 

Shuffle along a bit to the next window and have your photo taken 

Move along to the next window and receive your passort back with visa extension 

You initially get 20 days and you have to go back after 20 days and get the other ten days .

People without the Embassy letter were told they would just get 7 days (to leave the country)

(BTW, take mask along and wear it at all times or you may get told to leave the I.O)

6 feet apart obviously!

Not even six inches apart and we all had to sit on every seat as we shuffled along to remain in the queue .

  We were told/forced to do it by the guy barking orders at us , if we didnt sit on (every) seat in the queue (by shuffling along) we would lose our place in the queue .

So they want a photocopy of the application form and two copies of all other documents now?

No, closed today

20 days only, and then return and get another 10.....how ridiculous!

Reason being : They will send your application form to Bangkok immigration , Bangkok immigration will contact your embassy to make sure the letter in genuine , once they are happy the letter is genuine, they will contact CM immigration and tell them its genuine and tell them to give you the 30 day visa , this process will take 20 days , so now I just have a "under consideration" 20 day "visa" and will get the other ten days in 20 days time

Are they charging you money for the subsequent visit, another 1900 Baht?

A photocopy of all six documents require in the application .

12 documents required .

Six documents plus six photocopies .

(Dont even take into consideration that the application form and the two other forms are all photocopys any way ???? , you need to photocopy the filled out in blue ink photocopies  ????)

Jesus christ. They really do a "hold my beer" in complexity. I'm not sure on what planet you can describe this silly dance as "quick and efficient" with a straight face.

I was referring to the I.O.s working behind the counters, rather than the whole process

Apart form the queuing, (not their fault ), they checked all 12 documents , accepted the application, processed it and gave me my PP back with visa withing ten minutes

Pleased I moved to Chiang Rai then, considerably more civilized and not a COVID-19 petri dish

That they don't hand out queue numbers is their fault.

That they don't open an office in for example the empty Central airport exhibition hall, but force people to wait should by shoulder, is also their fault.

I think it should at least be possible to collect the additional 10 days and apply for the next extension in the same visit, so effectively requiring only one visit every 30 days.

How incredibly daft........But, to be expected just to make a few quid....

Well,  1900 .

Nothing official, but they seemed to be implying that you could apply for another corvid visa after this one, quite sure they would charge another 1900 Baht per  visa extension

They're bluffing. There is no way that they are going to expend the energy and check. Likewise, the embassy is not going to entertain their inquiries even if they could be bothered. Nonsense!

s.

I meant the six immigration officers working behind the counters processing the visas, those six people doing their job of processing the passports  is what I was referring to 

[mick220675]

I have a friend who went to Buriram immigration yesterday he also needed a photo as well as all the paper work.

 

The officer told him he will get the 30 days but has to go back after 7 days, he had the letter from the UK embassy.

 

So as usual what happens at one office is not the same as others.

Whi knows. 

But the Thai I.O thought process may be that they will accept downloaded Embassy letters, so they will verify their originality by contacting the embassy for verification 

[Chazar]

confirmation of  gross  stupidity

[deej]

They are just closing the rat holes in their defence

As they do not want you guys around 

Very sad but true

Best of luck to all

[Logosone]

They should give free Covid19 visa extensions.

 

Imagine profiteering from the Covid19 misery.
