Good news again two month extension will be given for covid visa
Answer summary
There are discussions in the community about a potential two-month extension for COVID visas in Thailand. Some users claim to have received confirmation of the extension, while others express skepticism and ask for official sources. The conversation also touches on the process of applying for the extension, required forms like TM7, and the implications for various visa types, notably that Tourist visas may be eligible for extensions whereas VOA and Non-Immigrant visas might not be.

So, before anyone gets too excited... there seems to be a few caveats... Looks like Tourist visa is OK... VOA is a no and Non Imm visa is a no..

how do you mean, any nationality that can enter TH on an exempt cannot extend their visa? Even if you already have a covid visa?

Is it easy to receive a covid extension or immigration will be picky and possibly deny the application, because all frontiers are opened and there are no barriers to fly back to home country.

it was never about barriers to fly home and always about our hard Euros or Dollars. 😅

Question about the covid extension. Does it require the TM7 form? I've got an appointment tomorrow Jan 24. I'm on a 30 days exemption VOA

And my wife got a 2 months visa from a Thai Embassy, valid until Feb 19. Can she already apply for a covid extension?
Astrid **********
Astrid **********
@Alain **********
Can only get 60 day COVID extension if one extended their Tourist 30 or 60 day visa already with 30 days.

So you will get most likely denied for C-ext and get 30 days. Not 60 days.
Nicolas ********
Nicolas ********
@Astrid *********
lie , I have been here for six months on 60day Covid extensions and I came on a tourist visa stop spreading fake news
Stuart *********
Stuart *********
@Astrid *********
the guy is obviously just a keyboard warrior that knows best because something happened to him at one of the 70+ immigration offices in Thailand. Because of his experience he knows that all other offices will act in exactly the same way and therefore he’s right and everyone else is wrong.
Astrid **********
Astrid **********
@Nicolas *******
no fake news, no lie, just explaining general rule Immigration office follows.

First extend a tourist visa for 30 days, after that can get 60 day COVID extension. This is general rule from immigration office.

An officer could have decided to skip the normal 30 day tourist extension and give you right-away the 60 day COVID extension. Love to see your stamps to prove its done like this, since it's rare. Which IO this happened?

Btw. Pretty harsh to call me out like this whilst I just explain general rules.
Alain ***********
Alain ***********
Thank you guys
Stuart *********
Stuart *********
@Alain **********
all extensions require the TM7 form.

You will have to ask your immigration office if they’ll issue a covid extension off tourist visa or will only allow the “regular” 30 day extension first.
Astrid **********

@Stuart ********
seems Nicolas is out to call everyone wrong, I love to see his stamps to believe he got a C extension without the normal 30 day extension

How so?

Lol what don't people realize . The OP thinks that since he got an extension NOW for beyond Jan 25th he has some inside info lol...

yarp. I was thinking the same. That said they probably will extend it again, but the OP really is out of his depth.

We have a guy going on 27th so should get a fairly definitive answer then.
Lisa ********************

@Nick ***************
unless they extend the application date ( no announcement yet) the 27th will be too late. Suggest your guy goes 24th or 25th.

slow day for you numb nuts? My agent said no more extensions before mine run out. Then they revoked test and go and he rang and said ‘can do again’….so we went and they stamped 2 months from Friday.

@Andy *******
You're an imbecile dude, multiple people trying to explain to you that you've got yours because you've applied BEFORE the current cut-off date...and seriously, how lazy and helpless one has to be to use an agent for something which can be fixed independently without any effort except of filling few forms and glueing a picture to one of them??And after that you call people slow...

i dont drink and not retarded you should actually read the post and read what you are saying.

He is talking about covid extensions after January 26th. I would keep off the sang soms if i were you and stop giving false info
Lisa ********************
Lisa ********************
@Andy *******
anyone can apply for a Covid extension until 25th January. There has been no notification that you can apply after this date. We are still waiting for announcement. And most people go to immigration, pay 1900bt and get the Covid extension without using an agent. Very simple process.

Are you sure you don't talk about your own extention? Because if you would have applied before tuesday coming you will get 2 months of course.

But anything after the 25th is uncertain now.

Are you really saying after the 25th they will still issue covid extentions?
