Tundra Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I entered Thailand on a 30 day exempt entry which expires 3 January 2022. I would like to apply for a 30 day extension next week in Bangkok, but am not sure if I should apply at the Immigration office in Chaeng Wattana, or Muangthong Thani? Can someone advise please? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to bump this thread rather than create a new one: At MTT is the 30-day extension effective from application date or waiver expiration date? If expiration date, how early can the extension be obtained? (10-14 days okay?) No onward ticket requirement, correct? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few reports from CW that some folk were asked. Your extension will date from end of current permission of stay. Normally couple of week early to apply, no problem. Depending on your dates you might be able to do it even earlier to beat the Jan 25 date. Thinking it will be extended. Crazy if not.

It sounds like some of your response pertains to the Covid extension, so did you mean regular 30 day extension followed by a 60-day Covid extension prior to Jan 25? That may not work for us (entry on 22Dec, so 30 day extension would go to around 20Feb) but is worth a try if it appears Covid extensions will end 25Jan - we only want one of those anyway so we can depart in April (Covid-permitting at destination).

So perhaps doubtful. There will be others in exact same boat as yourself. Keep an eye on reports. Can't see covid extensions not being continued. Of course that's just one opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
