Looking for advice based on APEC entry. 

Tried to get info when out at MTT yesterday but was all a bit confusing. (I was there for a replacement TM6)

I entered Nov 2020 with APEC, my stay expires Feb 13. However i need to extend, and for longer than 7 days. 

I have booked an appointment for Counter K - MTT for next week. 

From what i can ascertain, i will apply for a short term visa extension - TM7. 

Correct, not correct? Anyone else tried to extend after entering on APEC recently? 🤷‍♀️🤯

Thanks folks, this is a super knowlegable group and fab resource. Highly valued. Thanks for creating it!

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on extending their stay in Thailand after entering with an APEC card. They plan to apply for a short-term visa extension (TM7) at the local immigration office (MTT) and have booked an appointment. Other community members suggest that the only available extension for APEC card holders might be a 60-day COVID extension, particularly due to the upcoming end date for this option. It's recommended to secure an online appointment to expedite processing at MTT.

MTT Covid extension, UK passport/apec card.

Set my personal best time today, 24 mins in & out.

They asked for an online appointment confirmation & it seemed to fasttrack me to the immigration desk. There were 30 or so people waiting in the document check room who didnt seem to have made an appointment & were dripped through 1 by 1, but I would 100% make an online appointment.

Under Consideration until 4th Feb. Which is mildly annoying considering the location, but musnt grumble too much given the circumstances.

Got the 116 bus from Victory Monument, 22thb! & a cab back to BTS Lad Phrao 125thb.

the ONLY extension an APEC card holder might get (other than the 7 day extension denied get outta dodge stamp) would be the 60 day covid extension.

The ability to apply for that extension runs out next friday (the day the order allowing them expires) so get out to MTT and try for the 60 day covid extension. It's all you've got
