Hi to everyone! I have a 60 day tourist visa and I also extended one more month (normal extension). Now I want to get a covid extension for 2 more months. Do you know some places to get the covid extension easily? I'm now at Koh Samui. Thank you so much!

It was mentioned that the Samui immigration office was efficient, requiring minimal documentation and processing time.

Thank you so much for all your recommendations.finally I got the 60 days visa extension in Samui. Quite easy, didn't need TM30, only 1900 bahts and few copies and passport photo. Many people and took 4 hours (went at 9am, maybe because hokidyas of last week).

They don't ask for questions or this kind of things. So if any want the extension, here in Samui is pretty easy.

Samui and KPNG are probably the easier options. They were giving the 60 days straight up ( no consideration period) I don't know if that has changed though.

Any of the major immigration offices are usually easy to obtain. Some smaller offices will outright refuse or give you major hassles. Sorry I have no experience of the Samui office or their policies.

I like your question and thinking. Cause indeed, the requirements for the same outcome can be very different throughout Thailand and whatever immigration office you use. That is deeply flawed and unfortunate, but an actual truth. Unfortunately, there isn't an absolute answer to that, as particular requirements and procedures tend to change even at the same offices. So all I can advice is: 1) Start checking at the immigration office responsible to where you are staying now. And IF they make it exta and too complicated, move to another amphoe / province, stay a night and shop for more reasonable circumstances. It is in my view one of the biggest issues in Thailand, that they interpret feudalism in a way that every little sheriff can change anything to their liking, even though the underlying law and regulations of a certain visa or extension is the same. Just something we need to deal with - or better yet, to circumvent by choosing the more advantageous place.

Another advise would be to (politely as you can, ideally bringing a native speaker) teach them their own rules: As more often than not, they just don't know them / or get them themselves, sadly.
