Today at Changwattana I got a years exstension. Now I'm not sure what exstension it is so the admins will have to figure it out. I'm guessing it's based on employment. 

I changed jobs so here was the process I had to take:

1. My old school gave me a letter to cancel my Exstension of stay based on emploment on 24th of April. I got applied for an exstension pf stay based on the covid 19 situation. Immigration gave me till 22nd of may for under consideration.

2. I applied for a new work permit in Bangkok and got it a week later on 5th of may. 

3. Today I went with the new school to immigration to apply for what i thought was going to be a New Non-B. But instead they gave me this exstension of stay until may 2021.

If i need to remove details from stamp let me know.

Answer summary

The user received an extension of stay after changing jobs and going through the application process. Initially, they canceled their previous extension based on employment and applied for a COVID-19 related extension. After obtaining a new work permit, they went to immigration with their new employer, where they were granted a new extension of stay until May 2021, rather than a new Non-B visa.

nailed, it,

-they cancelled their original extension based on employment,

-applied for an "unable to travel due to covid 19" extension

-got an "under consideration stamp"

-then went in and applied for a new yearly extension with a new employer from it..

No great mystery, but it seems the O/P was confused about what they were doing. They were NOT applying for a new Non-B visa (which you can't do from an amnesty stamp) they were applying for a new yearly extension (which evidently you CAN do from a covid stamp).

, what did I buy?

You applied, you filled in a form with a reason and want us to find out what you applied for? This is not a classroom or a gaming page.

I put it up to hopefully help people in a similar position to myself mate. Just thought you'd be able to shed some clarity because I thought you had to apply for a new non-b outside of the country but i didn't need to. So maybe this can shed some light on a different process for people.
