Will I need to return every 30 days for COVID extensions at the Pattaya office, or will I receive a 60-day stamp on my next visit?

Regarding covid extensions on TR60 at Pattaya office:

I was given 30 days covid extension and told I would receive another 30-day extension without paying (1900 baht included both extensions).

Question: Will I have to return every 30 days in this manner. Or will I finally get a 60-day stamp on my next visit?

I have been in the country since last May 2021. I received 60 day covid extensions every time but not at this office. So far, Pattaya is the only office that required a return every 30 days.

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the COVID visa extension process at the Pattaya immigration office, specifically whether they will need to return every 30 days for extensions or if they would receive a 60-day visa stamp on their next visit. The comments suggest uncertainty about future extensions, as COVID extensions are ending for non-immigrant visas.

Some offices put your application "under consideration" which is what this is. I wouldn't be too concerned about "next time'" as there probably won't be a next time. The Covid Extensions are coming to an end (already finished for non-immigrant).

bobby is right, but I thought the under consideration stamp is usually a 2 week stamp to come back.

What does the stamp in your passport actually say?

thank you.

I wonder if that means I will get a 60-day extension this next time...

Jeh Rhm. Under the current policy you will be eligible for one more covid extension around the middle of March, which will take you through to the middle of May. I'd say it's highly unlikely there will be more covid extensions, as travel is now very easy around the world

That that would be satisfactory. Because my Visa is 60 day. I was hoping for the 60-day extension. ๐Ÿ˜Š Thx

Jeh Rhm. When does your current extension finish?
