TLDR : Answer Summary
The user received an extension of stay due to COVID-19, valid until November 20, but must report to immigration by October 9 for a 90-day report. A COVID visa does not exist; the user was granted a 60-day extension instead. Reporting options include in-person submission or online via immigration portals and apps, with advice on troubleshooting if the online system presents issues.

A COVID Visa does not exist. They are selling a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.

> instead i was given an extension visa(not sure) till 20th nov

IF you read your passport stamp, you have an extension of stay stamp. This is a "Section 5" stamp, which is an Extension of Stay Based on Unable to Travel Due to COVID-19.

>s i was given a notification paper to report back on 9th oct

That is a 90 day report. You must submit a 90 day report by October 9th. You can submit it 15 days prior to 7 days after (in person). You're using Bangkok Immigration, so you can send it BEFORE 15 days.

In theory, you MAY be able to submit it online. You can use one of the following three options:

Immigration web-portal [best option];

If the 90 day online report system does not work, AND you’re between the due date and 15 days prior to the due date, AND you already filed one 90 day report in person, there are some troubleshooting techniques you can use to try and get the system to work for you.

1. Make sure you’re filling in the information, and only the information, requested.

2. Make sure you are keying in the date and month correctly

3. Turn off any pop-up blockers

4. Turn off any auto-translate

5. Turn off any VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) that you may be using - including any data saving applications

6. If you’re using one of the applications, use the web-based system

7. If you’re using the web based system, try using a different browser and clear the cache.

8. Make sure your web browser isn’t automatically filling in the forms.

9. Make sure you aren’t confusing “O”(Oh) with “0” (zero)

10. If you’re keying your date manually, try using the drop-down date selection box

If the system still doesn’t work, then you may need to file it in person.
