ORIGINAL POSTER

If you are thinking of coming to CM Immigration today (7 April) to do a COVID-19 extension, please don’t. They are at capacity and there is a 99% chance you will NOT get processed today. 

Exception cases are for those whose stays are expired today or over the weekend, and you need to identify yourself when you arrive. 

Everyone else is business as usual. Just....loads of people. 

90-day report? Use the drive-through if you are in your 7-day window and not late.

TLDR : Answer Summary

On April 7, visitors to CM Immigration for COVID-19 extensions may face long wait times as the facility is at capacity, with a high likelihood of not being processed. Exceptions apply for those whose visas expire on the same day. For 90-day reports, there's a drive-through option available if within the 7-day window. Comments highlight frustrations with the crowds and mention that other locations may have equally long lines.

- did you try to get home? And in case you've forgotten the first advice from the embassies was NOT to travel- stay put. When they changed this advice it was too late for thousands of people as borders closed and aircraft grounded. So, stop trying to be a smart arse!

This just further confirms that they need to approve a blanket visa amnesty soon. But that makes too much sense, and it does not make very much baht. 😂

absaloutly, surrounded by poorer countries and all addressed and progressing with the emergency.

curfews, lockdowns, close downs. The 500,000 tourist boost to the economy isn't happening. Anticipation at all levels would have skipped greed and addressed need.
