Sry, now in English. Can. I am recommended for immigration, my 60-day TR-VISA, ends on 9 March, then if I only get 30 days, I hardly have a chance of another 60 days. I'm happy about every tip

Answer summary

The original poster is seeking advice on extending their 60-day tourist visa (TR visa), which expires on March 9. They are concerned about potentially only receiving a 30-day extension, which would limit their options for an additional 60-day extension. Respondents clarify that generally, one first receives a 30-day extension based on tourism, after which they can apply for a 60-day extension due to COVID-19 restrictions, with the application deadline specified as March 30, 2021. The complexities of differing policies among various immigration offices in Thailand are also noted.

@Dave ******

when you enter on a 60 day tourist visa, the only extension of stay you could apply for is a30 day extension of stay based on tourism.

Since October 2020, the government been offering a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. The OP is asking if he can get the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 instead of the 30 day extension of stay based on tourism, and if so, then which immigration offices would offer that extension.

Because there are 70+ immigration offices, each with their own policy, it is impossible to give an answer.

@Carl *****

some offices require a person in a TR visa to get the 30 day extension of stay based on tourism first before the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19

How the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 works *IN MOST IMMIGRATION OFFICES* is that you first get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism, and then you can apply for the 60 day extension of stay based on COVID-19.

The last day you can apply for the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is March 30, 2021.
