ORIGINAL POSTER

Asking for a friend who is not in the group: he and his girlfriend entered on a visa exemption and already extended it for 30 days. They wanted the covid extension and I wanted to double check for them. MTT is still their place to go ,or did it change in the meantime? Moreover, is there a possibility to get online appointments for MTT, or is that just limited to CW? 

Thx a lot

TLDR : Answer Summary

A friend is seeking clarification regarding their and their girlfriend's situation with a visa exemption that has been extended for 30 days. They are inquiring about the possibility of obtaining a COVID extension and whether MTT remains the correct office for this, or if changes have occurred. A response confirms that all immigration offices, including MTT, are closed until Monday after the Songkran holiday and that MTT has been moved to the new Immigration office at IT Square Laksi starting Monday.

I would have thought they'd update the online appointment program after they closed for Songkran so it would show the new office on Monday when it opens 😕

Tod Daniels. That is interesting. I just had a look and see that the online bookings are still denoted at MTT. Perhaps you should put an upper case announcement on the group front page warning people about this. I'm sure many will be booking at MTT unaware of the change.

ALL the immigration offices in the country are closed until Monday the 18th when they re-open after songkran.

AND

They do NOT go to MTT on Monday. That location is closed and they will go to the new Immigration office at IT Square Laksi

This is where they go starting on Monday

you can make a booking BUT the appointment system has not been updated and still has the choice Muang Thong Thani (not IT Square Laksi)

It shows that I can book an appointment for Monday BUT dunno what will happen when you show up at the new office at IT Square with an appointment for MTT.

Try it, all they can say is they won't accept it (but they should seeing as that's where MTT moved to 😛 )
