Regarding the Chiang Mai post about today's visa adventures @ Promenada mall

I was also at Promenada mall today to get my first 30-day extension. Went before they even opened the mall and got it done in about 2 hours (there were about 25 people there even before me). If you're going tomorrow, be there extra early if you want to make sure you get it done.

A friend of mine, whose first exemption-month was already 3 days over (it ended on 20.03) was also doing her first 1900thb visa extension. They just stamped her extension for one month STARTING from 20.03 so she did not have to pay 500THB/day for the days that she did not have a visa. So if anyone is a few days over, then there's the same hope for u.

I also have a question. Do I understand correctly that (given the situation and information as of today) when this 30-day extension of mine runs out, then I have to apply for an emergency 7-day visa which costs 1900THB?

From what I understand, yes, that is correct. You'd have to go to the airport location.

30 day extension of what? Tourist, non-O? I was there too today, they denied my first attempt at a 30 day extension, said 7 is the best available, that I should go to US embassy and get a covid extension letter... I have a non-O marriage, 90 day border hops.

Covid19 Extension based on TS stamps, Tourists stamps.

You are not a tourist and can get 60 days or 1 year, much better deal

That is correct as there is no 30 day extension on a Non Immigrant Visa. You can apply once during the validity of this visa for the 60 day Extension of Stay based on visiting family or for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on marriage.

If you can not leave Thailand before the last day of these 30 days, you can apply again and get the application not approved and 7 days to leave the country. Do not gamble to leave the last minute.

Maybe a strange answer, but I would put energy in leaving to a place where I'm allowed to be, rather then putting all my energie in a few days longer stay and than being an illegal foreigner.
