COVID Visa Extension Chiang Mai Immigration Tourist Visa Thailand Visa Rules Visa Extension Process

ORIGINAL POSTER

Has anyone applied a covid extension in Chiang Mai? When I got my 30-day tourist visa extension last month, I asked about the covid extension. The response I got from an immigration officer was that I could apply for a 60-day covid extension before March 25th. Today, I went to the immigration office and applied it. Surprisingly I got a 15-day covid extension and I have to go to counter #3 at the main immigration office on exactly 15 to get another 45 days without paying any additional fee. Has anyone experienced the same 2-phase covid extension? Many thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user in Chiang Mai shared their experience applying for a COVID extension on a tourist visa. They received a 15-day extension initially and were informed they could return to get an additional 45 days without a fee. Other users confirmed similar experiences, expressing that the extension process can vary by location and is often confusing.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences, hope I’ll get my 45 days of extension as informed by the immigration officer on the last valid day of my visa

That happened to me in Surat in February I got the “under consideration” stamp, did it in Bangkok today and got the full extension on the spot. Go figure
