ORIGINAL POSTERHello. I’m going to try my luck tomorrow with my daughter’s visa (from non o to COVID extension). We got a letter from the embassy.
Where should we go - Muangthong or Cheangwattana ? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeks advice on whether to go to Muangthong or Cheangwattana for their daughter's visa extension from Non-O to a COVID extension. Comments indicate that Non-Immigrant visa extensions are processed at Chaengwattana, and they received a 30-day extension based on an embassy letter. The process was confirmed to be smooth, but there were long waiting times. It's noted that the original embassy letter is required, and a follow-up visit for the finalization of the extension is necessary.

ORIGINAL POSTERUpdate: the process was smooth, no questions asked. But the place was packed - we started 8:16 and finished at 3:12.
I guess if you have the letter from the embassy, they might consider extending you.

Wow...great job! Out of curiosity, what did your embassy letter say that helped you get this extension?Niki *********
ORIGINAL POSTER@MarGuyvin **
it mentions about a certain criteria/order from immigration bureau-I’m guessing it’s an agreement of some sort between the two countriesReply to

Non-Immigrant visa extensions are processed at Chaengwattana.
keep in mind you will get a 30 day 'embassy request' extension NOT a 60 day covid extension.
