I received my Covid extension stamp within half an hour of waiting without having to come back in two weeks like before. However, I didn’t notice there was this note that sticks on my passport until I left. Do you know Thai and can let me know what this means? My building staff said it says I ll to come back before 15 nov but I am not sure it’s correct and as to why this note. At MTT. Extension until 22 Nov. TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The note on your Covid extension stamp indicates that to avoid congestion and ensure safety from Covid-19, you should apply for your next extension by November 15. This is a request to prevent overwhelming the immigration office as the deadline approaches.

"In order to reduce congestion and maintain safety from Covid19, please apply next extension by 15Nov".

Essentially...please don't wait until last minute so the office doesn't get overwhelmed. 😉

Darío Lípin Milongas It does not mean covid extensions program is extended. It means, if you have not left yet...and you intend to APPLY(attempt) to stay longer here with ANY type of extension application(Education, Retirement, Covid, etc.) that may or may not be available to you, PLEASE DO NOT come at the last minute before your present one expires. ;)

Darío Lípin Milongas It has NOT been extended.

" please apply next extension by 15Nov"."

The "next extension" can be any extension that the person qualifies for.
