**ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

COVID EXTENSION PROGRAM CONTINUED UNTIL AUG 24 

**

Okay, listen up, the covid extension PROGRAM (which was set to run out on July 25th) has been extended 30 days < meaning it now runs until August 24th 

The TIME you get on a covid extension (clause 5 reason) did not change and is still 60 days like it has been since they rolled out the covid extension program on Nov 1st 2020. 

SORRY for the bad info :(

Answer summary

The COVID extension program in Thailand has been extended until August 24, 2022. The 60-day extension period remains unchanged from previous provisions. Clarifications are being sought regarding eligibility, application procedures, and specific situations such as extending a NON-O visa. Members are discussing their experiences and uncertainties about applying for extensions.

Thanks for this!

I just received the 2nd 45 days of my most recent COVID extension on August 10th; if I go to immigration on 23 or 24 August to apply for the next one, are they likely to say I'm there too soon after receiving the last one?

, the only way you're gonna find out is to GO on the 23, 24th and see what they say,

All they can say is no and then you'd have to make a plan B and leave the country

John Niah, it's an extension as a temporary measure during Covid chaos for those who cannot travel back home or to their next destination.

John Niah doesn't mean anything to do. It's an 60 day EXTENSION you get after you're already here AND the current program runs until the 24th of Aug.

You just come in like normal since July 1st when they cancelled thai pass and mandatory insurance

@Holden ********

the previous covid programs were extended 2 months at a time, this one was only done for 1 month.

There was initial confusion on whether the time you got for a covid extension was also cut to 30 days from 60 but it is not. The only difference is that this program was extended only for a month.

@Ofir **********

I think you can slog on over to your immigration office closer to this current program running out and ask them yourself 🙂

That's the only way you're gonna know.

@Charlotte ****************

which is totally NORMAL 😕 as a rule you have to take your regular 30 day extension (if your entry stamp gets one) BEFORE you can apply for a covid extension.

Nothing at all to do with this covid extension program
