I arrived in Thailand on february 10th with a 60 day tourist visa. Is there a chance for me, to get the 60 day covid extension? Or will I only get the 30 day extension? I'm on phayam now. Would you recommend the Immigration office in ranong?
Thank youđ

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice about their eligibility for a 60-day COVID extension after arriving in Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa. While it seems others have had different experiences, there's a consensus that typically, a 30-day extension is required before applying for the COVID extension. However, some users suggest there's no harm in trying for the 60-day extension directly.
i donât think it changed, and was on paper the whole time as âsupposed toâ. Itâs just the IOs and offices do them differently

Jared Jernegan. January is when it was included in the order. Prior to that it was a discretionary matter for the IO.

The last orders in January stated people with Tourist Visas or visa-exempt must first take the standard 30-day extension. However, there's nothing stopping you from trying!

In Chiang Mai I had to get the 30 day extension prior to applying for the Covid extension.
