Answer summary

Foreigners in Thailand, particularly in Bangkok, are advised to make appointments for visa extensions before their current stamps expire, especially if expiring on December 30 or January 29, 2021. The Thai government is encouraging individuals to avoid crowded immigration offices. Specific regions like Kanchanaburi and Samui are also noted for their procedures on extending visas due to COVID-19, with a reminder that all applications for the 60-day extension must be made by January 29, 2021.

Samui (for the South misfits that

If before the lock down you showed up here without having bought a tourist visa from a thai consulate and were stamped in for 30 days for free you want SECTION K

The section you go to for the 60 day covid extension is controlled by the ENTRY STAMP you got when you entered the country back before it was locked down.

Sorry that's all in Thai BUT it's saying people in Bangkok who have stamps that are running out Dec 30 need to go BEFORE that date and need to make appointments too

The people who have stamps expiring on Jan 29th need to go and book appointments BEFORE that date too.

They are trying NOT to have a whole zombie horde of foreigners there trying to get extensions on those days.

Special thanx go out to our member
