Popular Post sanemax Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2020 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) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logosone Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Are they charging you money for the subsequent visit, another 1900 Baht? Edited March 28, 2020 by Logosone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ????)

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 38 minutes ago, Chazar said: does that mean a return trip? 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick220675 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
