Visa extensions in Patong post-covid

[Baron Samedi]

Just wondering if it's still possible to go to the immigration branch in Patong to get a visa extension post-covid or have things changed ?

Thx

For a 30-day short term extension of a Tourist Visa or a Visa Exempt Entry, yes it is possible.  It is not possible for any long term extension such as retirement or marriage.

Basically, the satellite immigration offices were set up to service short-term foreigners (tourists).  With the exception of 90-Day Reports and getting a Certificate of Residence, most things needed by long-term foreigners (expats) must be done at the main Phuket Immigration Office in Phuket Town.
