What should I do if I only received a 30-day COVID extension instead of 60 days at immigration in Chonburi?

I'm shutting this down:

1. READ YOUR STAMPS! If the stamp says "under consideration", it means they are reviewing the documents to decide if they should grant the extension of stay. You would return on the date stamped to see if you got the extension of stay or not. I NEVER HEARED OF ANYONY BEING REJECTED FOR A COVID-19 EXTENSION YET!

2. If your extension of stay is approved, the balance of time would be granted. If it is rejected, you will get a 7 day extension of stay denied stamp, giving you 7 days to leave Thailand. It will NOT impact your future visas or extension of stays.

3. You have to return to the same immigration office to "close out" your extension of stay stamp.

4. We do not allow comments calling immigration officers "lazy".

Thank you.

AND this is a great post to let people know to READ THE STAMP IN YOUR PASSPORT. :O

An under consideration stamp is just that, the extension you applied for is under consideration and you go back ON that date and they will either put the rest of the extension into your passport or put an "extension denied" stamp in it.

Just so everyone is clear MOST immigration offices are issuing an under consideration stamp when you apply for a covid extension; some are issuing the 60 days on the spot, but most aren't.

READ YOUR STAMPS people..

I guessing you entered on a single entry tourist visa, and the office have given you the correct 30 day extension?

What visa were you on?

The 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is an optional extension, and there is no promises of being granted that extension of stay. However, Ihave *NOT* seen any formal rejection of stays based on COVID-19, where a rejection stamp is placed in the passport and you have 7 days to leave.

The only thing you can do is go in and apply.

> I only got 30 days for 1900 not the 60 days

What does your stamp say? Can you upload it?

>but why wasn't I given the 30 days is there some way to report the office ?

It is an OPTIONAL STAMP, and the can grant UP TO 60 days.

CHECK your passport and see if you got an "Under consideration" stamp or an actual "extension of stay"
