TLDR : Answer Summary
From September 21 to 24, the Surat Thani Immigration office will provide mobile services at Central Festival Samui. Registration is mandatory and can be done by scanning a QR code or contacting Surat Thani Immigration via their Facebook page. This service is in preparation for the end of the Visa Amnesty on September 26.

@Benjamin *****
, any idea how to register. No form on their website and can not find a facebook page under their name either, only Samui office

Yes, so it is impossible to get an extension if your visa is still valid, or if you do not have the necessary funds for 2 months.

Well,we don't know yet what the idea is ;)

they have already been to Koh Tao. It’s a normal (Surat Thani) immigration service but you don’t have to travel to them.

The rest of rules and requirements all still apply if you want an extension of stay (no free amnesty or free stamps just because).

pre-registration is recommended of course to prevent public chaos

EDIT: MUST register first

foreigners allowed to stay (note the word "allowed"!) without registration will simply be rejected. there are rules to follow and no free visa handout to everybody including chicken wings with french fries and sour cream dip
