Hey everyone - I am in Phuket but moving to BKK shortly. I applied and received a 30 day tourist extension visa at the Phuket immigration, will there by any issues applying for a 60 day COVID extension at BKK immigration? Someone mentioned that they had an issue applying for extensions / visas at a separate office from the one they originally received an extension from. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on applying for a 60-day COVID extension at Bangkok immigration after receiving a 30-day tourist extension in Phuket. They are concerned about potential issues posed by applying at a different immigration office than where the initial extension was granted. Commenters reassure that as long as the TM30 form is filed, transitioning from Phuket to Bangkok for the COVID extension should not pose a problem.

No problem for tourist stamp continued to Covid extension as long as you are reported with TM30.

It -changing immigration office- would be some problem when you are applying for a non-immigrant in-country visa or long-term extension.

When you move to Bangkok, either the hotel, your landlord, or yourself will file a TM30 form. This effectively makes Bangkok Immigration your new port of call for immigration matters

they probably had issues as they had covid extension with under consideration stamp. That needs to be finalised at the same immigration office
