TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking guidance on where to apply for a COVID extension visa in Thailand, contemplating between the Chang Wattana government complex and the temporary visa building in Muang Thong Thani.

How did you enter? Tourist visas TR go to Chaengwattana. Visa exempt go to MTT.

if I do a covid extension Visa today. Will my covid Visa start from today or will they add it onto my current Visa

@Tom *********
usually switching to a covid extension from a tourist extension means they’ll date it from the day you apply because you are changing the reason for an extension. There have been posts of the 60 days being added from some people so it appears that as usual it’s office specific.

Tourist visa entries go to CW. Visa exempt entries go to MTT

I'm at CW now. Looks like I'm going to be here until after there lunch break. I'm starting to think I might leave it off until another time and the staff look very pissed off today aswell lol

@Tom *********
I have no experience with either office. From posts here it seems that many people opt to get to CW early, but others have said they rock up at 2.

.00pm and no queues.

I spoke to two immigration officials and they both told me to wait because if I apply for the covid Visa extension today that it will start today. Anyway at least I have solid information now and it's better I wait until my visa is almost expired

How does that covid extension work? How do you qualify ?

@Gino ********
similar to a 30 day extension if you are already on a tourist visa
Gino *********
@Tom *********
so can you get that extension and then another 30 day extension ?

No you must take the 30 day tourist extension before you can apply for Covid extension.
