ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! My visa expires on 26.09.

As far as I understand, the last day to apply for Covid extension is 27.09. If I can make it to the immigration on 27.09, will I be granted full 60-day extension?

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires whether they can secure a full 60-day Covid extension by applying for it on the last day before their visa expires, which is September 26. Comments indicate that applying on or before September 27 should grant them a 60-day extension, but some advise that they might receive a temporary 14-day stamp at first, requiring a return visit to finalize the Covid extension.

Related to Mariana’s question . She said her visa is expiring on 26th of September . So I assume she’s asking for a COVID-19 extension from September to approximately November . Is it confirmed that the COVID-19 extension is extended for another 2 months ? As far as I know it’s suppose to end on September 😕

The last day to APPLY (key word) for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is September 27th. When you apply for this extension of stay, you will be granted 60 days.

What is a "visa"? Is this the full page sticker that's in your passport, OR is this a small stamp that was put in your passport when you arrived to Thailand?

The "valid to" date of the visa sticker doesn't matter to stay longer in Thailand, it's your admitted to stamp.

What is your admitted to stamp?

As long as you apply on or before the 27th of Sept (the date the 60 day covid program is set to expire) you'll get a 60 day extension, although depending on the office you might get a 14 day under consideration stamp and have to go back to get the covid extension inked in.

thank you! Do you think I could do it before the expiration of my visa? Let’s say, 21-25 September just to make sure I’ll be able to do it on time (there’ll be a lot of people on 26-27 September, I imagine)
