Apologies if someone else asked this question.
I heard there will be an immigration office on Koh Phangan open on April 8.
1. is it only open for one day (which is what I heard), or will it be open longer (if yes, when, only certain days?)
1. I entered Thailand from Malaysia on March 16, got the visa waiver/visa on arrival 30 day (I think that's the term), and now wanna get a 30 day extension: DO I NEED A LETTER saying unable due to C19 from the Austrian Embassy (my husband is US citizen, same situation, does he need one?) or is that not necessary since the 30 day extension is technically speaking still within the allowed extension frame?
1. Regarding the immigration offices, I read in another post the officers want you to come the very day your visa expires or a day earlier, to avoid the masses. Is that correct?
1. Thanks so much! Really appreciate this forum and all the admins being so busy and taking their time to reply again and again to similar or same questions ! :)
TLDR : Answer Summary
The immigration office on Koh Phangan will be open only on April 8 as a special service. For those who entered Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption, like the user, a letter from the embassy is not required to obtain a normal 30-day extension. It is advisable to visit the immigration office a day or two before the expiration of the current visa to avoid long wait times due to high demand for extensions.
