2nd 60 Day Extension 

Dear all, I am currently in the Amnesty till 29/01/2021.  I am planning to extend it once again for another 60 days.

So I just wonder If I need to wait till the last few days to go to CW or I can already go apply for it now please? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

The amnesty expired back in October. It sounds like you got a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.

Different immigration offices have different policies. Some start it from the date you get the stamp,some start that extension at the end of the current extension. I believe Tod Daniels made a post yesterday saying that Bangkok Immigration starts that extension of stay on the date you get the extension.

sorry, my bad. And yes, I am in the 60 days extension of stay due to COVID. Thanks a lot for the post. So if I go now, the 2nd extension will start counting from today? And any idea if they are to reject my application, do they do it during the 1st appointment/ application day or during the 2nd appointment, I e, the day I need to go back to close the loop?

If they reject your request for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, they would reject it during your first appointment. I *NEVER* heard of anyone being rejected during the stamp close out.
