TLDR : Answer Summary
Phuket's immigration services are preparing for a busy period as the COVID visa service area remains open for foreigners wishing to stay in Thailand. The COVID visa, providing a 60-day stay, is set to end on January 25, 2022. There are concerns about whether extensions will continue beyond this date, given the influx of applications prior to the deadline. Community members are discussing the implications of the deadline and what paperwork, such as the Affidavit for Granting Permission To Temporarily Stay, is needed.

The crazy thing is why would immigration create more work for themselves (everyone rushing for extension before jan 25th) if they plan to extend.... yes I'm aware that they keep waiting until last minute to extend the scheme... still hard to make sense of it given that they aren't inclined to work harder than needed lol

No. 5 on the sign reads "Affidavit for Granting Permission To Temporarily Stay In The Kingdom". What's that in Plain English & how do I get one?
