Hey guys, is it possible to get the covid visa extension on the date of the current visa expiry day? (current on 30 day extension). If so, would it be done on the day or have to go back to the immigration office again? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for a Covid visa extension on the day your current visa expires. It is advised not to delay your application until the expiration date. If it's your first Covid extension, it will be dated from the day you apply, and your application may be accepted at various immigration offices, though practices may vary. Be prepared to return to the immigration office within 5-15 days to receive the full extension stamp after the initial 'under consideration' stamp.

You can apply for a Covid extension up until the last day of your current stamp (on or before November 26th). If it’s your first application for a Covid extension they’ll date it from the day you apply because you are “changing” the reason for an extension (from tourist/exempt to Covid). Most offices, including Phuket will initially give you a “under consideration” stamp that requires you to return to that office anywhere from 5-15 days to get the remaining balance of 60 days stamped. In Phuket a Covid extension can only be obtained at the main Phuket town office.

Really do not know...Thai Immigration offices may vary in their practice...as you are reading.

Suggest you not delay application too late as last day to apply is November 26th

And "shopping" for a Thai immigration office may prove to be a problem for you....

As 7 hours ago you asked...

"Anyone had done covid visa extension for the first time recently in Phuket Town immigration? Apparently in Changwattana the FIRST time you do Covid Visa Extension it starts from the day you apply and not when your current visa expires. I know every immigration has different rules and wondering how is it in Phuket Town immigration?" Thank you guys!:)
