Covid Extension

Applied after receiving numerous extensions since the program started during the pandemic.

I successfully got a 60-day stamp to 25-Mar. They remember my face by now, and verbally reminded me that this is the last extension.

They have said this a few times before, and shortly afterwards the covid extension program gets extended, and again I apply and have gotten extended each time.

One thing that's different from the previous times is that they said if I try again to apply once again in March, I will only be given 7 days, not 60. Not sure what to make of that, but maybe this time they really mean it?

Lastly, I was asked when I plan to leave Thailand. I verbally confirmed I will be departing after this extension. I was not required to present a flight booking.

Hi great group, very informative, UK passport holder always flown in and out from UK, history is Visa exempt month late Aug 18 to Sep 18, UK 3 weeks, then Visa exempt mid Oct 18 to Nov 18, UK to early Jan 19 the Visa exempt plus extension to early Mar 19, UK to mid May 19, then Visa exempt plus extention ending mid Jul 19. Sounds a lot to me, but I work when I need to and like to holiday a lot, not 50 yet. Would enjoy 1 or 2 more months of sunshine so question is if I go to penang by land (say that as a friend going same time) mid July, would they be likely to grant me a 60 day tourist Visa or flat turn me away at reentry. I know it's probably a bit subjective and the answer could be just maybe, but if everyone says "no worries" great, if everyone says "no chance" then I just go to UK, sorry for the length, but would value your opinions please.
