Hey all, arrived here in Thailand a week ago and I'm on the STV Visa. It's been stamped at the Airport for 90 days ending around the 5th of September. I realise they were stopping the STV in September. Any advice if I want to extend another 90 days taking me up to December? Should I wait until the start of September before going to immigration in Pattaya? Or before?
Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about extending their STV Visa before its expiration in September. They received advice suggesting to request the extension before September, as the program had not been officially ended and could still allow for an extension up to 180 days.
The only thing you can do is try. You might be able to get 1 more extension, but if they don't renew the program you'll only get max 180 days out of it.
Im on STV too...I would just request extension before Sep. My last extension I did 2 and a bit weeks before expiry and was still stamped 90 days from original expiry. I'm in Phuket
