Today, I applied for and received my first 60day COVID extension at Chang Watthana Bangkok.

The extension started from today's date which means I lost the remaining 8 days on my initial tourist extension.

Just wanted to put this out there for those who ask about the loss/gain in number of stay days.

Another item regarding the TM30 from my hotel, which they declined at first because it wasn't registered online.  However, after I phoned my hotel and they completed the registration, I was able to go back and get the extension.

Comments further clarify that while the first COVID extension is counted from the application date, subsequent extensions are added to the existing stay. There are additional inquiries about requirements for extending and immigration office operations.

Did you have to give them a reason for extending or demonstrate you can't leave Thailand? I heard they are being more strict with these extensions... I will have to do this soon also. Thank you

After the officer reviewed my documents and stamped them all (I e approved) she handed me special a form for that with 4 choices. I marked the first one that includes "COVID still on-going".

Yes, your first covid extension starts from the day you apply. Subsequent covid extensions are added to the end of your current stay. Been like that since it's starte.d

can’t confirm what they do these days. Initially it was from the date you applied (for the first one). That may have changed.
