TLDR : Answer Summary
The user received a 30-day extension on their COVID visa during a visit to the immigration office, despite expecting a two-month extension. Comments from the community included suggestions to return for additional days, advice to check specific stamps in the passport, and inquiries about prior visa types and extension history.

Look at the stamp in your passport...

Does it have the words

UNDER CONSIDERATION ???

WITH a specified date for you to return to your Thai immigration office ???

The stamp says July 29...

Look at the writings on the stamp...

Originally wrote July 30

Strikes it out and enters the corrected date you need to return as July 29th.

Thanks for letting us know you got a 30 day Extension of Stay based on being unable to travel. What kind of permit to stay you had to be inside Thailand and how many times did you already applied for Extensions of Stay?

Look at the stamp, I guess it mention something like:

Under Consideration, the applicant has to report back at this Immigration Office at xx/xx/xx
