Hello, thanks for accepting me into the group.
I'm currently in Thailand on an STV which has been extended once and expires on 7 November. When I got the first extension (in Bangkok), the officer told me that I could extend a second time as long as I did it before 30 September. Today I went to the immigration office at Samui and was told by the staff managing the queue that I couldn't get an extension because of the expiry date, even though I explained that I'd only done one extension and was told in Bangkok that it would be possible.
I was caught off guard by that and am trying to work out what to do next while I still have plenty of time up my sleeve. Is a 60 day Covid extension possible? I can't seem to find clear information on whether it's possible with an STV. I don't mind leaving late October/early November and going elsewhere (already stayed longer than I'd planned to), but it's convenient and I'd like to stay until early December if there's a way that won't cause too many headaches.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking clarification on extending their STV visa in Thailand, facing contradictory information about eligibility for a second extension before their current visa expires. They mention that they were previously told they could extend their visa for a second time before September 30th, but were denied an extension at a different immigration office. They are also inquiring about the possibility of obtaining a 60-day Covid extension and are open to leaving Thailand if necessary.
