Quick report RE: visa exempt 30+30+covid extension?
I entered Thailand January 15, 2022, with visa exempt (US passport) for 30 days. I extended for another 30 days today at Promenade Mall Immigration Office in Chiang Mai. While there, I asked the front desk and the immigration officer if I would be able to come back and get the COVID extension; both said yes.
I mention it because I know a lot of people are wondering if they will be able to get this extension. While technically it is up to the immigration officer, I think they will be willing to give it to you if you meet the requirements, at least in Chiang Mai. Neither immigration worker seemed to have any doubt that I would be able to get the extension, even though I was in Thailand for 3 months last year (not as long as some people in this group, but still). I will let you know if/when I get the extension in a couple weeks.
P.S. Promenade Mall Immigration in Chiang Mai is awesome. The whole visit took about ten minutes; no wait, and the front desk even helped me fill out the forms.
