Good morning,

Came in on a 30, extended my stay by another 30. I need another 20 days until my flight out. No chance of getting another extension? Do I really need to do a border run? If yes, any reccomendations? I'm in Phuket, heading to Krabi, have car.

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user initially inquired about obtaining an extension for their 30-day visa stay in Thailand, seeking an additional 20 days before their flight. Comments provided information about the possibility of a COVID extension, detailing the application process and approval risks. The user updated that they successfully obtained a COVID extension in Krabi, choosing between options for a short extension or a longer one at a fee, while also sharing their experience with immigration in Patong.

Update. Went to Phuket, Patong immigration, he sent me to Phuket town, wanted 300 baht to photocopy🤣. They only do the 30 day extension in Patong.

Travelled to Krabi. Got covid extension. Had 2 options, get 15 days then come back for another 45 and pay nothing, or pay 3000 baht get 60 days. No cost for photocopies.

Thanks for everyones help🙏

Sidenote, my wife had a 60 day visa did 30 day ext. In/ out 5 minutes

You can apply for a covid extension until July 25th. Whether or not they will approve is up to the immigration officer, but you're not out anything for try.

Beware that covid extensions start the day you apply if approved, so you'll lose any days on your existing stay.

doesn't matter. Some offices hand them out freely, but you won't know until you try. It's pretty much your only option besides a border run
