My original 60 day stamp on my TR Visa expires on March 21. I know can apply for the standard 30 day extension, but I'm thinking about trying to skip the standard extension, and just apply for a 60 day ข้อ5 "Covid Extension"... I think Tod Daniels suggested I might try this (the worst that can happen is they say, "No"). My questions are:
1. Do I need to make an APPOINTMENT to request the 60-day COVID EXTENSION...?
2. I'm in Bangkok. Which immigration location should I go to, to request a covid extension... Chaengwattana or Muang Thong Thani...?
3. Besides a 4x6cm photo, copies of my passport, TR visa, entry stamp, and a completed TM.7 form, what else do I need to request the covid extension?
4. What reasons are people typically using successfully, for WHY they need a covid extension...? In my case, I'm just stuck waiting for my "entry exception document" from the Philippines, so I can re-enter via my retirement visa there... this is why I want additional time in Thailand.
