Are the 30 day Visa Extensions (to current 60 day tourist visas) affected ?

- if I go to CHang Wantanna Immigration (in Bangkok), will I get my 30 days extension to my 60 days tourist visa for 1900 Baht ?

are there any reports of people being denied standard extensions?

Have you read any? The only people having problems that I have read about, people with numerous visa exempt entries, and people with several back to back entries with Tourist Visas.

I have back to back tourist visas in my collection and was invited to get an extension at Chiang Mai immigration today to ease my fears

Both of your replies have confused me even further.. Lol

@ BeechGuy: you didn't say whether people with back to back visas are getting denied from ENTRY to Thailand,, or from VISA EXTENSIONS ? (i know about denied entry... but I am not sure if you are referring to Visa Extensions or not.

@ JohnsJourney: you said you have back2back visas in your passport.. (ok,, I understood that part). Then you went on to say that you were INVITED to get an extension at CM immigration to ease your fears.

- Who invited you ??? (usually, to be invited to something, the invitation would come from the people that run it).. so you are saying that IMMIGRATION invited you? i'm completely confused. why would they invite you? I have never known anyone to get invited to immigration.. Lol

also: you said: "to ease your fears".

- How does "being invited to immigration" ease your fears? an invitation is not a guarantee of a Visa Extension!

Please can you be more clear with your English about these replies.

- I would not normally be so picky. but because of the difficult situation facing hundreds/thousands of people, it will be good to write as clear as possible (and provide as much useful info as possible too).

Many Thanks

I am now even more confused by both of your replies... Lol.

@ BeechGuy: You didnt specify if you were talking about Denied Entry to Thailand, or Denied Visa Extension. (my question was about Visa Extensions,,, what was your answer about?)

@ JohnsJourney: you said you were INVITED to get an Extension at CM immigration. Who invited you ???? (immigration invited you??) I have never heard of anyone getting invited to go to immigration before. (please can you explain this fully).

Also: you said that you were invited to ease your fears. How does an invitation to go somewhere ease your fears ?? (an invitation is not the same thing as actually receiving a Visa Extension).

Please can both of be more clear with your English Language as this is an important subject that affects THOUSANDS of people right now. So please be as clear as possible.

Misleading answers are not useful to anyone. so Please can you reply again and tell me (and everyone) what you mean.

Thank you,

Well yes I know someone who works there and as they noticed I was not easily taking 'it's ok' for an answer (my misplaced trust in journalism from a national paper) they indicated I was welcome to walk over there and get an extension. That implies I'd likely qualify get it, and saying that would prove there is no problem for tourist visas stamped in the passport however they have been used. Mae Sai daytrips were always ok, as people indeed report they are, no changes to tourist visas.

The sky is not falling in on frequent tourists as some appear to hope for. Journalists make less money monitoring cases of 'everything is ok' than 'everything might have gone terribly wrong'. It seems most reports of anything different are becoming contradicted by most officials in the country when people bother to ask them. Don't trust these reports including mine, ask immigration directly, and you may end up with a contact to call for assistance in any event they turn out to be wrong.
