mfd101 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 This may be of interest to some given current CV & travel confusions ... I went to KC this morning to extend my permission to stay on ground of retirement (OA visa from 2015), which was to run out in 3 days on 10 October. All fine but they have extended me by an extra 3 weeks, to 31 October 2021. I wasn't expecting that as I have - as far as I knew - no CV amnesty or other entitlement and I haven't travelled outside Thailand for some 18 months. I didn't query it as I'm obviously not complaining, but it does seem a bit odd (and uncharacteristic). Perhaps a new government program to cheer us all up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) OP, I'm with you. I would have been expecting an extension till 10oct/21. I realize the recent infographic mentions all extensions start from Nov 1, but assumed it didn't include annual extensions.

All the more puzzling if the OP's TGIA-approved health insurance policy is also due to expire on 10 Oct 21! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I only just realized that myself and have made a note that when I extend the health ins next year (Pacific Cross) I will need to extend it from 10Oct21 to 31Oct22. Let's face it. Thais LOVE complexity. Not just in their bureaucracy but their architecture too. Thai Baroque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly since you have an immigration office, which has in the past been reported on here for its negatively rogue practices, to thank for it.
