Popular Post MangoRice90 Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 So the visa extensions for covid reasons are ending right? Is this for everyone? In the past there has been a distinction between those of us who have been here before Covid effectively began in Thailand (March 2020) and those who arrived later or those who applied for a different type of visa. If you arrived on a regular tourist visa (exempt) for 30 days before Covid and you've been getting 60 day visa extensions, are there no more extensions at all?

Thanks, is there a way to get another 30 days or something without a border run? I find it a little surprising they didn't wait until Feb/Mar to end the visa extension program (because it has to help the economy right?).

No. Be aware that visa exempt changes to 45 days from Oct 1. Border run very generous option imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the early Covid visas since 2020. Went today to IT Square and yep it is over. They offered me 7 days (this is what i expected) but they also said 'if you have letter from Embassy you get 30 days'. I think they were confused because i had an old (2020) letter in w my documents. The US embassy certainly isn't issuing any such letter and hasn't since 2020. I cant find any regulations related to this either. I'd like 30 days ... Anyone heard about this? Also if I did border run Im assuming I will not get back in after this extended stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you qualify for visa exempt entry a border run won't be an issue. Visa exempt rises to 45 days from Oct 1. Each visa exempt entry can be extended by 30 days. 1900baht.

Let's say that it is.......45 days, pay 1900.... Now you got 75 days. Do it twice. Got 150 days. Laos for a TR, 2 months. extend 1 month. Do that twice. It's fun having options....... I used the COVID extension twice I believe. Was really great. Sad to see it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
