Report on my 30 extension for group FYI.
Location: Phuket Immigration (not Patong)
Visa Type: Visa Exempt Entry (US passport)
In and out in about an hour. Copies of passport data page, TM6, Entry stamp. Signed all pages. Filled in TM7, with photo. 1900baht, plus 6baht for copies.
Multi-lingual volunteer reviewed, no problems, waited about 15minutes to get called to Imm. Officer. Paid, took a photo of me, waited another 20 minutes for passport.
Can confirm 30 days added to prior entry expiration date (from 9/21 to 10/21).
FYI: Overheard volunteer explain that the 60day Covid extension is 60days *from date of application*, not an extra 60days added to your current entry expiration date. Not sure if that is standard everywhere, but seems to be the case for Phuket Immigration.
Also heard volunteer state he wasn't sure if they'd be continuing the Covid 60 extensions beyond this month.
Good luck to all. Thanks to the Mods for keeping this group going.
