ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS;

60 day covid extension program

The current covid extension program that was scheduled to run out on the 24th of May has been extended until the 25th of July.

This means unless you have a stamp expiring there's no need to run to the immigration office before the 24th to apply for a new extension.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The COVID-19 extension program for visas in Thailand has been extended until July 25th. Members are advised that they do not need to rush to immigration before the previous deadline if they have no expiring stamps. Discussions highlight the process for those entering on different visa types and clarify that travelers under certain conditions must seek regular extensions first before applying for COVID extensions.

Does this apply for people who only can in for VOA or people who came in with visa from destination already?

@James ****
if you came in on a visa exempt or tourist visa entry you must take the 30 day regular extension first before you apply for a covid extension

Now, whether people from the 18 countries who buy a 15 day visa on arrival when they land here for 2000baht can get covid extensions is totally up to the immigration office they're dealing with

and for that answer you need to go TALK to the immigration office that issues your covid extensions.

I changed my reaction to ๐Ÿ˜ฎ, is that better? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Is that definitive? Will I have to leave the country after my July covid extension? I've been on covid extensions for many months now.

, how to implement depends on Immigration offices. You need to check with your local Immigration office.
