Can someone shed their experience in getting the covid extension at Chaengwattana? Do they always require TM 30? And do they only give you a consideration stamp, and you have to return for permanent?
Answer summary
This post seeks clarity on the personal experiences of individuals obtaining a COVID extension at the Chaengwattana immigration office in Bangkok. The user inquires about the necessity of TM 30 forms and whether applicants typically receive only a consideration stamp, needing to return for the finalization of the extension. Responses clarify that the TM 30 requirement depends on prior extensions from other offices and confirm that the consideration stamp is commonly issued, requiring a subsequent visit for the official extension.

And you're on a tourist visa entry stamp? <- meaning you bought a tourist visa from a thai consulate before you came here and were stamped in for 60 days when you arrived?

I ask that because if you didn't get a tourist visa before you came here you don't go to Chaengwattana for your extensions in bangkok.

Whether they ask for a TM30 or not depends on if you have any extension from another immigration office (out of province) as they will want you to prove you're staying in Bangkok to apply there.

Also at this time both immigration offices in Bangkok went back to issuing under consideration stamps for covid extensions and you have to go back to that office to get the "loop closed" and get the extension inked in.
