Covid extensions via agents are not sent to another imm office.

Extensions retirement yes. 

But don’t use such Retirement Agent ……if unavailable later and you try yourself to get a 90 day report or ReEntry permit from Imm. Office not issuing the visa / Extn, they will refuse and revoke that stamp ……use agents getting stamps / reports / ReEntry from your local Imm. Only, to avoid such trouble.

So I will be heading back to CW next week to apply for my second covid visa extension. With the lifting of many restrictions I wonder if immigration might be putting an end to these extensions. Has anyone been there recently and received another two months? Thanks in advance.

Let us know how it goes.

I will. I read a post from Ubonjoe (an amazing source of info) on another topic chat, can't find it now, that the covid visa extension is extended to march 25 (?) but only to those holding a tourist visa or came in visa exempt. I don't know if that means applying before that date gives you two months or the most you'll get is to march 25? I guess I'll find out.????

If you qualify and apply before March 25th, you'll get 60 days more counting up from your current permission to stay date.

For the last couple of days I have been attempting to get another covid extension. I arrive on a 60 day TR, got a 30 day extension then a 60 day covid extension,  and now was applying for my second covid extension. I have been dealing with SPlus, the management of my condo building (the condo owner is a bit of a nutcase I am told). They told me all the paperwork was in order. When I arrived at CW they said my address in Bangkok was not in the system and because I was now giving notification of staying longer than 90 days the owner needed to provide that information. Well, apparently it cannot be done online and SPlus said I need to bring the paperwork to immigration. What they failed to tell me was I need to go to a different office at Muang Thong Tani. So I show up again at CW on day two and they gave me the address. They also told me this process can be done by phone…oiii. So I paid 800bt to register my address. I trooped on back to CW and my address had not yet been updated in the system but thankfully I had my receipt, so they took pity on me and gave me my extension. They were actually very descent and helpful about it. Maybe they saw the desperation in my eyes..lol Btw… I did not offer and they did not ask for an airline ticket.

btw…when I was registering my address he asks me if I have a “duty stamp”. I do not. So he says it costs ten baht. He comes back and makes a show of attaching some sticker to my document. Oh my god, so funny… into the kickback pool. I guess I should be thankful it was not more.
