Going to mtt today. Destination country has covid and the embassy won't issue a letter. Do I check both 1 and 2, one or the other and why?

Thanks for the update. I was going to go tomorrow but will wait pending elucidation on this issue and the 60 day start time issue. Brian **********

my Canadian friend also had an issue and there was another foreginer as well there. I asked why this had not been an issue before and they said "when covid was still an emergency we didn't actually check this. We are checking it now ". So get ready for mtt to join all the other offices in the hard time about tm30 club.Brian **********
OP@Ahron *******
Immigration said not to disclose what we worked out, but they said I need to get a tm30 correction in place asap. My assistant is trying to unravel what's wrong in immigrations computer system, but it's a mess.Ahron ********
@Brian *********
Interesting that's surprising, especially because BKK usually doesnt check tm30. Personally, I usually book a hotel the night before to make sure there are no issues. What ended up happening? Brian **********
OP@Keef *******
they had me check of the first onePaul **********
@Brian *********
what date stamp did you get? I biked it to chaemg wattana today like a muppet and found all the desks closed, only to be told to go to MTT tomorrow. But I’m reading this stuff now about 60 days from the date you go to MTTBrian **********
OP@Paul *********
I don't have your confidence after my experience yesterday.Paul **********
@Brian *********
it’ll get approved, don’t worry about that. Basically unless you’ve got some kind of criminal record in Thailand you’ll be fine.Brian **********
OP@Paul *********
no idea when they will date it or if it will even get approved with all the tm30 issues todayPaul **********
@Brian *********
15 days from today? Come back to get another 45?Brian **********
OP@Paul *********
under consideration 
Tab *****
if you haven't gone to MTT yet, save yourself the trip, they're only stamping people from the day they go in for their appointment so you'd be missing 2 weeks or so on your new visa.

@T**
a few reports on this group & the other one mention the stamp would actually begin from the date they go in (even if they have a valid stamp until *****
), and staff were insistent they come back next week/week after. Makes no sense to me, tbh. Tod *********
@Tab ****
the thing is I haven't seen ANY "close the loop" stamps from people who got them recently when applying for the 60 day unable to travel due to covid extension. Everyone is still on either their previous extension (meaning they haven't applied for a new one yet) OR they're on an under consideration stamp (meaning they haven't gone back yet to get the extension stamp).As a rule, extensions are effective starting from the expiration date of the current stamp you have in your passport. I think we're gonna hafta wait and see

@Tab ****
, unless I'm mistaken they are giving people a 14 day "under consideration" stamp dated the date you apply for the 60 day extension BUT then when you show up on that date you get a 60 day extension dated from the date your current extension expires.Brian **********

oh joy.
