ORIGINAL POSTER

Can someone please fill me in on the automatic extension.  

I did an normal extension back on March 19 after a Visa Run to Cambodia in February.  

Right now I have the letter from the Canadian embassy and due for the emergency Covid extension. On the 19th   

Am I covered under the new automatic extension and good to go till the 30th.  Or is that just for the first normal extension.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about their eligibility for the automatic visa extension due to COVID-19, especially after having done a normal extension before the current situation. Commenters confirmed that they are indeed covered under the new automatic extension and will be allowed to stay until the 30th.

An answer with no solution. Excuses about national security. Why not make it clear plain and simple. All visa holders are permitted to stay in the kingdom until a grace period is announced to allow a safe timely exit.

Always ambiguity confusion and room for interpretation in the name of the excuse of national security.

Thanks Tara. The wording on the article for the auto extension was really confusing and I thought it was only for people doing their first extension. Good to know I don't have to jump through hoops at immigration till atleast the 30th.
