What immigration divisions are giving covid extensions?

[Leon1980]

Hi. Thanks in advance.

 

I arrived by visa exempt in may and extended 30 days until July 12. I attempted to get a tourist visa before I arrived but the whole process was impossible and they cancelled my application.

 

My flight home is on August 7 and I thought I could do a covid extension. 

 

However, Songkhla immigration say they are no longer doing covid extensions.

 

My question is where is the easiest immigration to get a covid extension? I was thinking Krabi or Phuket. 

 

Thanks very much

Even Krabi would be 4hr + drive oneway.

Use an agent in Krabi. (eg Visa Plus)

About 5 hours to Krabi but I planned to travel there anyway for a week.

 

I just want to be relatively sure they are giving first. The other alternative is to travel 4 hours to Penang on a minivan and have to stay 24 hours and they are very strict on border.

 

Thanks

If that's the case then you could do it there.

However you would need to do a TM30 change of address to use that office.

I had some friends from USA and same as yourself ran out of time with obtaining tourist visa in the states. .

Came visa exempt obtained 30 day extension in Bangkok and then had trouble with immigration in Hua Hin for covid extension.

Solution 5500 to agent and job done.

The 5500 included the 1900 extension fee and no under consideration period. 

That's important.

Your immigration office won't do the correct thing which sadly is the case in Thailand.

They either want you to bribe (agent) or they just making their own rules.

Phuket immigration had a special Covid visa section I saw that was open last week.
