ORIGINAL POSTER
Today, I went to Phuket town immigration to get my covid 19 extension since my Education Visa expires tomorrow.

They gave me an under consideration stamp until May 7th.

HOWEVER:

The immigration officer, a Captain there, called me to return to the office. When I did so, he canceled my stamp, gave me my 1900 baht back and told me there is a blanket amnesty that was passed last night good until July.

YMMV

TLDR : Answer Summary
The author went to Phuket town immigration to obtain a Covid-19 extension for their Education Visa, which was set to expire. Initially, they received an under consideration stamp valid until May 7th. However, an immigration officer later informed them of a blanket amnesty in effect until July, leading to the cancellation of their previous stamp and a refund of their fee.
