The deadline was originally scheduled on May 24, but Thai Immigration discreetly updated the date to July 25. (as they have continued to do in the past)."

Yes No letter is needed and you complete a affidavit to select the reason you need the extension. You will have to do the 30 day extension before you apply for the 60 day extension. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritTim Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 A whole three days notice this time. Nice of them Some people will have been able to wait and see before rushing to do a border bounce. However, it may still be too late for those who had to decide whether to try to stay longer or return to home country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the case here, people knew exactly when the last date to apply was.Anybody planning to stay longer here has a huge time window to apply. They can apply 2 weeks before the end in most immmigration offices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrischronic Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I was at Laksi Immigration yesterday for covid extension. The IO informed me that this was the last time they would give me an extension. Well, guess I'm gonna get one more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I made the distinction between those considering border bounces and those deciding when to return home is that it is usually important to lock in a good airfare well in advance when flying to, for instance, Europe or the US. While you might be lucky finding a good price on Bangkok to London a week before you travel, these days it is not typical. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbkk Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I applied for my 11th Covid-19 extension on Friday. As usual no problems except to note that the return date is now in a month (19 June). It used to be 10 days, then 14 days and now 1 month later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are moving about and the under consideration period is inconvenient, you can use an agent and avoid the return to imm for final stamp. There are offices that don't do the under consideration period. I haven't taken lot of notice so can't advise on that. Think Krabi was one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go to Laksi for a new covid extension : what do you mean by "the return date is now a month" ? What do you call "the return date" ? UPDATED. Ok, I got the information.

Pi Sek Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I've just phoned Samui Immigration - they told me that the only extension they can do is a 7-day (so I presume the "7-day get out" one). For a non-B multiple valid until this July with a Work Permit valid until February (next year). I'm in Suratthani now, I'll give them the same question.
