@Terary *********
I guess we have to apply for the normal one and can extend again, if the situation remains. Not sure Reply to

Is it advisable to request the normal 30 day extension or the corona extension first? Any idea?
Marco ***********
thanks guys
Garrett ***********
The "corona virus extension" is an emergency extension for those who are otherwise ineligible for an extension.

Good information.
I've been on hold with the British consulate for an hour and a half so far.
Hopefully I can get this sorted today.
It will be my 2nd extension on this entry. Would that still be OK?

ORIGINAL POSTERthey will issue you the letter, BUT as far as if you can get ANYTHING from the immigration office other than the 7 days application denied week to get outta thailand, that is between you and the immigration office you deal with.
