Does the Automatic Extension of a Visa Exempt Count as My One Extension in Thailand?
Hi all,
I’m here on a visa exempt (US passport) that falls within the automatic extension until the 30th. Does the automatic extension count as my one extension, requiring me to get a COVID-19 letter to extend again or am I still able to extend on the 30th? Thanks!

Answer summary
The automatic extension due to COVID-19 does not count as your one extension. Since you have not applied for an Extension of Stay after entering Thailand, you should still be able to extend your stay upon the end of the amnesty period.

If you entered Thailand and got a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry and you did not apply for an Extension of Stay, you should be able to use this option after the amnesty period is over,
But on the other hand, these amnesty period is not made to start a new live in Thailand, for that you need to apply for a visa.

So if someone arrived on March 20th for example on a visa exempt, can they still do a month extension before the visa end date in April as this would give them a whole month and not just a couple of weeks up to April 30th. Is it even possible to get the extension at the moment it does everyone on a tourist visa or VOA have to take this 'emergency' visa which lasts till April 30th? Activity
