Chiang Mai office clarified that they apply it to any kind of visa or extension of stay. All automatically extended to 30 April, without charge and without the need to visit.

Yes; doesn't matter if it's your first, second or final extension. It will all get auto-extended to April 30 first, and then later we'll hear what's up after that.

If you were here legally on March 26 you will be legal until April 30. No need to go to immigration.

Really wow. That's great. Clemency is needed now. I know many people are overstaying now for fear of catching the virus.

The stamp up top of the OP is April 14 so he gets until April 30. The other guy is good until May 2. I wasn't replying to the guy with the May 2 stamp.Reply to

U need to see which visa you are on. Read the immi announcement carefully. Long stay visa is currently not in this list

See how that theory works when you question the immigration officer who is about to stamp.your passport on wether he knows how to do his job properly. Let me know if that works well 😉 take a copy of legislation with you

And Robert is a twat

Good news is CW is super quiet now. Wouldn't have been 200 people there at 1.30.pm

David Broadfoot. I went to CW immigration today to ask in person. New waiver does NOT apply to long term visa /extension holders who are due for renewal. They need to get the 30 day covid extension with a letter from their embassy.

What if you have already had one extension? Anyone have any answers for this?

@Shannon *******
do whatever you wantKevin *****
ORIGINAL POSTER@Shannon *******
yeah that’s the problem I’m curious Han ********
Same deal. You can't leave Thailand, so it's automatically extended until April 30 first. And will likely be extended to 31 May after that.

What kind of visa do you have? For tourist visa and visa-exemption you don't need to do anything. If it's a non-immigrant visa (extension based on marriage, employment, education, retirement, etc.) then I would call and ask.

The extension is until 30 April. To avoid overstay make your you have left Thailand before that date.
