TLDR : Answer Summary

A user seeking to extend their tourist visa for COVID reasons asked for guidance on where to process the extension in Thailand. The conversation revealed that the extension can be processed at local immigration offices, particularly in Bangkok. It was clarified that the user had entered Thailand under a visa exemption and had already received extensions. Participants provided tips about the immigration office location, potential delays due to holidays, and clarified visa types.

@John *****

so you entered on a tourist visa that you bought from a thai consulate before you came here and were stamped in for 60 days right?

Have you taken the regular 30 day extension you can get from that entry yet?

if you're going this week or next week, beware of the holidays.

If you're going on the 18th or later, they are moving the office.

@John *****

that was like pulling teeth 🙁

Just so you're clear you didn't get in on a visa on arrival 🙁

IF you showed up here and were stamped in FREE for 30 day you got in on what's called a 30 day visa exempt entry <- NOT a tourist visa & NOT a visa on arrival 🙁

SO yes you go to the MTT immigration office

Hey Tod! Actually got two extensions already. 1 for 30 and 1 for 60 days. I know they gave me the last one but I'm hoping this last since I'm not ready to go back home yet. Is is still at the temporary visa extension office?
