60 DAY EXTENSION OF VISA DUE TO COVID QUESTION IF APPLYING IN BANGKOK
I phoned immigration and explained that I am on business APEC (visa) and they advised I go to the new Thai Immigration office in Muang Thong Tani Centre. I believe they are setup for the 60 day extension due to covid in Bangkok.
Two questions and they relate to an informative post(s) from Benjamin Hayes :
1. Does anyone have experiences or information on how to get the following from their respective Embassy in Thailand, as I checked websites (UK and Hong Kong) and tried to phone today without success, for the following correspondence :
- letter from your embassy saying you cannot return, OR
- a print out from your embassy website saying they don’t issue the letters, OR
- a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those letters.
2. When I phoned Thai Immigration recently, they advised given I have APEC business card ( visa) to go to Muang Thong Tani Centre. However I see from the attached that extension of stay based on business should go to Changwattana office. My thinking is to go to Muang Thong counter K, as I am extending given the 60 day covid condition.
Appreciate any advice and information on the above, as it may avoid travel to wrong office.
Thank you …..
