Where should I go to convert my daughter's visa from Non-O to COVID extension, Muangthong or Cheangwattana?
Hello. 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

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.

yes, thank you. The IO said that as well. And I asked if I can extend for 1 month, she said yes as long as I have a letter from the embassy.Luffy ******

OPUpdate: 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.

OP@MarGuyvin **
it mentions about a certain criteria/order from immigration bureau-I’m guessing it’s an agreement of some sort between the two countriesLuffy ******

ask yours.Tod *********
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.
