anotherfarangishere Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Sawadee Khrap everyone, As the Thai cabinet met yesterday to officially extend the State of Emergency in Thailand and so the Covid extension, I'll go next week to Laksi to get 60 more days: something new I should know since my previous visit ? Is it still in Laksi at least ? Thank you ! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arminbkk Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 As I might have to (again) extend my stay in Thailand (in connection with applying for passports for my kids) what is required to get the Covid extension at Laksi? Same as for an extension of stay on visa exempt entry? How much is the fee and where could I download the application form in advance? Are these extensions granted regardless/no questions asked? I am currently on an 30 day extension of stay on visa exempt entry. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same application form and etc. You will also be given a affidavit to complete that has tick boxes for the reason you need the extension.

And the reason can be ..... anything? ???? I am just wondering because there isn't really a compelling Covid related reason for most applicants. They really don't check for that?

arminbkk Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Thanks Ubonjoe and DrJack So basically I check the second box and all is fine and no questions asked: Will give that a try then. Already saw they open again on Monday 1st August. Another question: last time I was on 30th June, I used a taxi, but I saw that there is some BTS station right there at IT Square. Which station is that? Is it in operation? Dark Red Line? What BTS/MRT station does it connect to, coming on Sukhumvit Line from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritTim Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) The station, logically enough, is called Lak Si. From most parts of the Sukhumvit line, best is to change to the MRT at Asoke station (Sukhumvit on the MRT) which takes you to Bang Sue. From Bang Sue, it is just about 4 stops on the dark red line to Lak Si. EDIT: Also possible is to take the Sukhumvit line to Mo Chit, walk to Chatuchak Park MRT station, and take the MRT to Bang Sue from there. There is currently no direct connection from the Sukhumvit line to the dark red line. Edited July 28, 2022 by BritTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a photocopy place next door if you overlook anything. Not sure about Laski however some immigration offices were starting the 60 days on day of application for first covid extension. Might be an idea not to go to early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only need about two extra weeks, so if they give me 60 days, it doesn't matter much on what day those 60 days start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a requirement but some immigration officers have been playing games and asking to see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I have to try and get a Covid extension. Once I have that, I can change my flight out. What are the odds they will ask for it? Maybe a "throw away" ticket to Singapore? ????
