i had no idea that easy/hard offices were a thing. Aren't they all following the same guideline? I've always been able to get covid extensions from Samut prakarn imigration until today..Ariel *******

I read in a German Thailand related magazine 2 weeks ago that the 60.days Covid19 extension can only be applied for by people who entered with tourist visa, not by people who entered by exempt entry. I read the contrary HERE in this group all the time since, and have been wondering for the past weeks. So obvioulsy what I read about the visa-exempt not able to apply for "unable to fly home extension" seems to be true

@Benjamin *****
thanks for the clarification. So that magazine was wrong. They might have confused the visa-exempt with the 15 days visa on arrival, whose holders indeed cannot apply for the Covid19 extensions

they said they can if i show them a flight leaving thailandNongnuch ********
@Ariel ******
ah, positivelyTod *********
and what was the reason you were denied the extension
What was the last visa/extension you were on BEFORE you switched to covid extensions and when did you enter the country originally?

I came in on visa exemption on Jan 11th 2022, extended until March 11. Came in today for 60 day extension. They said they can't do it.

@Ariel ******
you’re extended to March 11 already did you say? Aren’t you a bit early for going for a further extension then?Ariel *******
OP@Robert ********
Im planning to rent a place for another month and get a 1 month gym extension, so it doesnt make sense if im only staying 20 days. But mostly because i was trying to prevent multiple trips to immigration, but anyways i couldn't a residence certificate so today just failed. Im thinking about buying a flight now, and printing it out but i figured i would try muang thong thani first since i can risk losing flight.Robert *********
@Ar***
I mean… if you still have almost a month to go on your existing extension why would you be looking for a further extension? You’re currently good until March 11Ariel *******
OP@Robert ********
I asked another person working there, they said they can but they need to see an outgoing flight ticket. The first person immediately said no without checking documents.Tod *********
@Ariel ******
strange indeed, with that entry history and the fact you got the regular 30 day extension already you do qualify to apply for a 60 day covid extension 😕You could try another office and this time I'd have proof of onward travel (that you're flying out within 60 days from the date your current stamp expires)
