From 1 January covid extension in 3000 THB

[Tayida]

My sister in law went today at Samui immigration and they told her that, with the new variant, the covid extension is now 3000 thb for 2 months and no more 1900 thb. Are they right or just got more money from her? She doesnt use any visa service.

Sounds like she had to pay a fine possibly.

Did she get a receipt? 

 

Why not call them?

Good pick up.

2 day overstay = 1000.

With 100 to tip bin? = 3000.

However if io included statement about Omicron then something fishy.

Obvious BS Since ALL visa extns. are govt. price listed at 1900 baht & Covid Variant status is naff all to do with Imm. Just nod & leave that IO.

Imm. “Humiliation “ in play from their Profit/ Humiliation/ Control three -step playbook.

They are trying to get more than the standard 1900 baht fee.

There is no special fee for the covid 19 extensions.

Entrepreneurial IOs hard at work after the New Year binge, would be my guess.

Speaking of fine for over-stay, recently had to pay 1000 baht at CW, never got a receipt for it, got a receipt for the 1,900 baht but not for the overstay fine, Oh well...

Also at CW i have noticed several "fixers" luring around that can "expedite" your business for a fee, a hefty one at that too i hear...

VIP queuing does tend to cost a bit at CW, though some agents seem to be able to negotiate a better price than others.

So did you give her the money?

Just ask them if they will give you a receipt for it. Then it's suddenly 1900THB again.

It is very well known: at Koh Samui they also ask 3000THB, for a normal extension of Stay, even the official price, announced in the office, is only 1900THB. Koh Samui Immigration is the TOP of corruption, very well known. In case you don't pay the 3000THB, they make a small mark in your passport and, next time you go, you can be sure you will have a problem because one or other document will not be correct and only can be solved ( as they say) in the main office: Surat Thani... this means: you shall have to take the ferry, go to the main office.... lots of trouble........ TIT.

Are you just telling fairy tales or do you have pictures as proof?
