Interesting. Just applied successfully for a 30 days extension of my 60 days visa based on tourism in Bangkok, which was running out on December 18th. Instead of until January 17th they extended my permitt to stay untill January 30th. Must have something tondo with the visa "amnesty" untill December 31st?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses a user's recent experience in successfully extending their 60-day tourist visa in Bangkok by an additional 30 days, potentially influenced by the ongoing visa amnesty related to COVID-19 until December 31st. Comments include inquiries about the possibility of further extensions, responsibilities regarding visa dates, and confirmation of the start of regular extensions post-amnesty.

as I can see you have 60 days visa + 30 days extension (as it was before pandemic). But I'm curious, can I extend one more time or they won't be allowed to do so

I've got a 60 day tourist visa (E-visa, applied for in advance – arrived Mid-Oct) and just got it renewed with the 30 day regular extension. Original expiry date Mid Dec, but extended until Jan 31 now (due to what you write about further up). I plan to apply for the 60 day Covid Extension (my first) later on in January.

IF you come in on a tourist visa (or a 30 day visa exempt entry) you can get a 30 day extension ONCE for 1900baht at the immigration office.

The only other extension currently available is the 60 day covid extension program that runs until Jan 25th.

So it means I can't extend another time (as I come with a normal touristic visa)

You could apply for the 60 day covid extension before Jan 25 though?

This was my question actually, as I don't know with my current tourist visa (in general my passport doesn't allow to stay here with stamp on arrival)

@Alex *************

so did you already get a 30 day 'regular' extension from your 60 day tourist visa entry?

Alex **************

yes, correct. So now it's 60 day + 30 extension

@Alex *************

so then GO before your current stamp runs out or before the 25th of January and apply for the 60 day covid extension at the same office you got the 30 day extension on your tourist visa

Right, you can't

@Alex *************

no one can get more than one 30 day extension from a tourist visa or a 30 day visa exempt entry.

Be aware that if a mistake is made with the date, you are the one responsible. Please check your thought about extra days with the Immigration Office.

and you were lucky because it IS your passport and they could have charged you if you stayed longer than you were allowed to be stamped in for. BUT glad it worked out for you,

@Chris *********

you're 100% incorrect. IF you get stamped in wrong (either at passport control comin' in OR at the immigration office getting an extension) it is totally YOUR responsibility to get the bad stamp corrected, AND if you got a stamp that lets you stay longer than you were really allowed you will be charged for overstay if you stay
