beldin Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hi, I was at CW on Monday and was told by to IOs that covid extensions had to be applied for before Monday 30th November as no more extensions would be given out after this time. Has anyone else been told anything like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2530Ubon Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I was told in Ubon that I could use the 60 day COVID extension twice, which she (the IO) helpfully told me would take me up to the end of February. I know it doesn't answer your question, but it may be helpful as I think you could travel here (Ubon) to get the extension done if your having problems at CW. Spend a night in a hotel (for address purposes) then go to the IO the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beldin Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thanks Joe, Both women said that there would be no more extensions at all after monday as that was as long as this option was in law until. Im waiting on my passport coming back to get an extension. Im just worried that i cant get it from VFS in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldera Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 As immigration hasn't published anything about this special extension anywhere, things are as clear as mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeCross Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 i'm sure they'll do another once they realize 100K "won't go homes" are "stranded" again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I think if they were ending on Monday there would of been a announcement by immigration about it. The only thing I have seen on the immigration website for a few days infographic that had very little info on it and had no announcement associated with it.

DrJack54 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 OP, why would CW pass this info on to you when the extensions you refer to are being issued at MTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you told me that so i booked an appointment and went to MTT on monday. They looked at my passport and said that because my last visa was a Non O ME for marriage that i would have to go to CW for this. i went to CW and they accepted my application but said that it must be done before or on 30th November as no visa would be available after that time. I asked if i could get a 7 day visa to allow my passport to arrive, they advised that they could but that no further etensions would be given as it would be after 30th November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrendsd Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I was tamped until the end of January yesterday - the I/O asked me what my plans are after that - I replied I don't know - he then said it's up to the Government what happens next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one person's opinion, but why anyone would leave applying for extension on the very last day! Personally I would have done it already.

"The person I rent room from promised to provide TM30 receipt by Friday and has not done so. What should I do?" Answer.

The question he's asking is "Is Monday too late, or does he have to go to the IO by end of today?" Am I making more sense now? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any extension you can apply up to date of current permission of stay. His current pos is Nov 30. He can attend imm on that date for extension. My point was that he has been at current address for a week and the person he rents room from has so far not provided TM30 and my guess will not. Hence need to check in to hotel that can provide him with TM30 print out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Whenever you go, since you entered on a tourist visa, make sure you go to J Counter not K Counter (3rd floor in the same building where they do the 90 day reporting).

Ventenio Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I moved, got the TM30 form filled out by the owner of this hotel..... i went to immigration and the police to check-in (had time, wanted to play it safe, and have more paperwork for the amnesty extension) and..... both were like, "ah, we don't want this." so, ah, ok. but the extension was easy and smooth.
