MTT 60 day covid extension. US passport, 30 day visa exempt entry.

Today was relatively painless. Showed up with just my passport and photos. Made copies of

1. Data page

1. Entry stamp

1. Departures card

1. All extension stamps, not just the latest one ( was sent back down to get this so they care)

1. Had an appointment, but it was never checked

1. Was given a stack of documents to fill out, same as last time

1. No embassy letter, no email requesting it none of that. There was the same form as last time where you check of your reason

About 1 hr, start to finish including copies. Lines were short. Took longer to wait for the copy machine than an immigration official.

Under consideration, come back feb 1.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user successfully applied for a 60-day COVID extension for their Thai visa with a US passport. The process was straightforward, requiring only the passport and photos, along with copies of necessary documents, including their entry stamp and extension stamps. The user noted that they had an appointment but it was not checked, and the whole process took about an hour, with minimal waiting time at the immigration office. They will need to return to check on the status of their application by February 1.

Will the extension be from application date or added to your expiry date?

@Philippa ******
there are reports that they are ADDING the 60 day covid extension to the expiration date of your current stamp (when you go back to get the under consideration stamp loop closed)

Thanks for all you do for this page

I see the Covid Extension PDF in the Files section. Last time there were two additional forms that needed filling out at MTT Are these available?

Thank you
