ubonjoe Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 You can extend your current permit to stay (it is not a visa) in the country for 60 days at a immigration office. No need for financial proof. You will need a TM30 report done to prove where you are staying. You will need a completed TM7 extension application form with a 4 X 6 cm photo attached. Copies of your passport photo page, visa (if any), arrival stamp and TM6 departure card. You will complete this affidavit with tick boxes for the reason you need the extension. 60 Day Covid 19 Extension Affidavit.pdf229.8 kB · 334 downloads 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew45 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Don't worry, it is easy. They will accept your application as long as you have 1,900 baht handy. But you will get an "under consideration" stamp first with the date to come back. This is a formality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naelys Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I have STV, but it's really annoying to extend it, they asking such requirementswhere I've stayed Where I've stayed the previously 3 months, the problem I didn't even had some hotel booking I just paid to the hotel, no receipt, etc... how I can proof all of that, as I've stayed many places in Thailand for few days there, few days another place, etc. So, If I told them I just wanna stay 1 months as actually is due to the COVID, isn't possible to get a COVID 60 days extension, instead of a complicated procedures about extend the STV ? Seems very complicated to extend this STV, I rather prefer to have 60 days COVID extension on it, & back to my country. I can have only this : ASQ Certificate, covid test, payment receipts. TM7 Photos Copy passport Visa, etc. I am only staying hotel here, so almost with Agoda. Can Agoda booking should be fine ?(for the next 3 months exemple) and my previous stay proof ? the TM30 ? should I ask the hotel or the Immigration will get it automatically. I don't know which provinces I should ask the extension, with less complications, I am as long stay tourist here, I don't rent any condo, just hotel anywhere I move, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest you take a look at the document ubonjoe linked to earlier:https://forum.thaivisa.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=727659 It lists the reasons that are available. Check mark the ones that apply to your situation. At this point it's a pretty pro forma exercise. You ask for the extension. You pay 1,900 baht. They approve your extension. There's not a lot of investigation that goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
