Hello ! I want to make covid extension and saw that you can make online appointment (for IT square laksi Bangkok). Does it mean you have to do it or you can come as you want ?

Also which option is the best for European citizen when you can actually go back ? What did you put ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses the process for obtaining a Covid extension in Thailand, specifically mentioning the option to book an online appointment at IT Square Laksi in Bangkok. Responses indicate that while an appointment can save time, it is not strictly necessary, as individuals can choose to show up without one. There are implications for European citizens regarding their return travel options, with the consensus suggesting the embassy may not provide letters to allow extended stays.

I am under consideration. It was a hassle tho, I went to IT Square Laksi early but they told me after 2 hours waiting that I need to go Chaeng Wattana because I got 1st extension. Then by that time around 11:00am, I got ticket 200 in Queue, makes me wait until 5pm

When I renew last time , they never asking any letter from embassy. Just said it’s too risky to travel back to home right now due to Covid situation

You can save time and book an appointment or just show up. Your embassy almost certainly won’t issue a letter to allow you to stay so choose that option.

Thanks !

Can you go on last day of your visa ? If stamp is on 20, is it good ? Or should go before

@Marc *****

you can go on the 20th but it might be best to go before in case you run into issues. Almost certainly (if approved) you’ll get a stamp from the day you apply, not added on to your existing stamp so you could lose a couple of days. Be aware that immigration offices around the country will be manic on Monday as they’ve been closed for 5 days. Lots and lots of people will be heading to an office then.

Can I book an online appointment to get a 30-day extension for my visa exempt status at immigration in Thailand?
