Hello, I am currently on a COVID visa and will be running for another extension this month. I have a prepaid lease for one year for a property in Koh Phangan. Currently, I am in Bangkok due to medical reasions and I will be applying for an extension at the BKK immigration. My question is, can I apply with my registered address in Koh Phangan, or do I need to provide a new address since I am applying from Bangkok? Thank you 🙏🏼

Answer summary

The user is seeking clarification on whether they can apply for a COVID visa extension at Bangkok immigration using their registered address in Koh Phangan, while currently residing in Bangkok. The comments indicate that a TM30 (Notification of Residence) must be filed for the Bangkok address to process the extension. Without this, an extension may not be issued.

@Tod ********

meaning people on it must leave thailand or get a new visa before may 24th? Or, meaning they can apply for the same 60 day extension if they apply before may 24th?

Without a TM30 filed on the address where you are in Bangkok you will NOT get a covid extension issued here. 😕

I was at immigrations yesterday and they told me if you have a covid extension from another province in order to apply for one here you need to have a TM30 filed with a Bangkok address

How was it? Did you observe any outright denials of people applying for covid extensions?

only people applying can get IN to the office area, BUT I did see people who got in come back out with their paperwork and their passport (meaning they didn't get to turn it in).

Now whether they were missing a document or whether they were denied applying entirely I dunno.

Thanks. I read a report on an another forum elsewhere, that a person was turned away from Lak Si after being instructed emphatically that no covid applications would be processed more than 2 weeks ahead of the current stamp. In his case, that is 24-May.
