Good afternoon,

If we want to apply for the 60 days covid extension, do we have to go a maximum of 3 days before our visa expired (mine expires on the 12 of August) or can I go this week so it is done? 

Thanks in advance for your help!!! ✌️😄

1. What immigration office?

2. If you are using Bangkok immigration, did you enter on a visa exempt, or a tourist visa?

@Damien ****

AS OF RIGHT NOW, you can apply for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 when you have 3 days or less remaining on your current stamp. For Bangkok immigration only, the forms can be found at

Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require the following:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. MAYBE A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (I posted above for Bangkok immigration)

4. *MAYBE* A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy website saying they don’t issue the letters, OR a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those letters (I don't know if this is being asked at Bangkok immigration).

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB.
