**ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS
60 Day Covid Extension Program**
We are getting reports of people a various offices being told that the covid program has stopped. :O It has not. .. :/
No matter what you're being told the current covid extension program runs until Jan 25th right now.
What has happened is the government passed an amnesty (like they did from March 26 - Oct 31 2020). This one runs from Dec 7th until Dec 31st 2021.
That means anyone who has a stamp expiring between when the amnesty was implemented Dec 7th - Dec 31st AND is leaving the country by 11:59PM Dec 31st does NOT need to get any extension and they will NOT be charged for overstay when they stamp out.
For people who are going to continue to stay IN the country on covid extensions this amnesty doesn't affect you and you should go apply for your 60 day extension like you planned.
At Muang Thong Thani Immigrations here in Bangkok, they are now having people sign a form stating you do NOT want the amnesty (as you're not leaving by Dec 31st) and instead want to apply for a covid extension.
One more time, the current 60 day covid extension program has not been cancelled, not stopped and runs until Jan 25th
BUT
With that being said, remember this most recent police order that continued the 60 day covid program from Nov 27th to Jan 25th specifically said they will be more strict in issuing these extensions.
AND
you might be asked for proof of onward travel (during the time your new extension would expire) OR you might be denied.
Please understand people that these covid extensions are NOT something foreigners here have a right to have :( not by a long shot. They are totally 100% issued at the discretion of the office/officer.
Here's the letter people are signing at MTT now saying they are not taking amnesty and want a covid extension
TLDR : Answer Summary
The 60-Day Covid Extension Program in Thailand is still active and will continue until January 25th, 2022, despite some reports suggesting otherwise. Recently, a temporary amnesty was introduced that allows individuals with expiring stamps between December 7th and December 31st, 2021, to leave the country without facing overstay charges. However, for those planning to stay longer on Covid extensions, it is advised to apply for the extension and be aware that proof of onward travel may be required. Immigration officers have the discretion to grant these extensions.
